Fantastic visualization software
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau has brought my department and our website into the 21st century. Making interactive dashboards and graphs has made a huge difference to the quality of our website and quality of our internal documents and presentations. Tableau does take some time to learn, but the capabilities of this program go way above and beyond anything else I have ever used. If there is a function you would like to do that is not supported with the point-and-click features of the program, you can write your own script, which is amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau is expensive, and the vendors will definitely continue to try to push more paid products, such as Tableau server. If you are able to properly mask identifiers out from your data, Tableau Desktop + Tableau Public are great. It does have a bit of a learning curve, but they offer plenty of support tutorials.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Tableau for online dashboards. Using interactive features, we are able to cut down on a lot of employee work time because folks who need data from us can now go to the website and filter on the dashboards without ever needing to have access to the individual-level data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to train on it initially. It will make the process so much easier. The time spent will pay off!

Best Visualisation Software
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use, the suggestions provided, and the stunningly amazing graphics. I feel like tableau does a better job tidying up your visualisation than any other viz software..

I don't quite the like of difficulty of sharing our visualisation online, the sharing option has improved a lot in the past few years but I would like it to be more easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used tableau for my Data Visualisation course project and publishing visualisation(s) online.
Tableau Desktop Review
What do you like best about the product?
I absolutely love Tableau! Data visualizations are huge now, and it is ideal to get a head start on how to best use and display data. People understand raw numbers quite well, but the colors and the "applied" nature of creating a data visualization allow for a different degree of learning and understanding the content.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've had to take some free courses about how to navigate the system. It's not hard if I could spend a while trying to figure it out, but it is no intuitive (not saying that it has to be). A better explanation, perhaps for which data points correlate to which capabilities in the system would be helpful. What are the implications of nominal, ordinal, and interval variables? What are the possibilities?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am currently using Tableau to understand data form higher education. We are trying to get our university to get us a contract for Tableau, because many other universities are using manipulatable dashboards on their websites so that (prospective) students and their families can understand some data, particularly housed in the Office of Institutional Effectiveness.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a wonderful tool! Data visualizations are where data science is heading, and it would be awesome if your organization could get ahead in this way! Too, the graphs and things it spits out would be wonderful additions to powerpoint presentations, reports, articles, and to be live on websites.
Slightly overwhelming to use, but robust and extremely powerful
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoyed creating dashboards to show some data to coworkers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some data I imported from Excel needed to be groomed in a way for Tableau to best understand it. Coming in with pivot tables in mind did not make things easy at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It’s been great to be able to visualize data in a way that makes it easy to switch between different views and ways to view data. This is something that isn’t as intuitive in Excel.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Stick with it, watch the training videos on Tableau.com, and take an in-person training if you’re able to. It’ll allow you to use Tableau to its full potential.

Tableau - Great for data mining
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau desktop provides me access to gather/sort the data I need from the overwhelming volume of servers/tables/databases within our organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's still requires a little more technical knowledge than say the average drag/drop or Excel user might understand.
