Tableau experience
What do you like best about the product?
I love the way that you can add the data and it basically can walk you through how to use the product.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not give you the best visuals. Some of the visuals are to in depth and need high resolution products to display properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing the compliancy department all the necessary days for review of the faculty and staff.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is easy to use and I feel like under the right circumstances can be very valuable.
data visualization and workbook creation
What do you like best about the product?
Unlike Data Joining, Data Blending in tableau allows combining of data from different sources and platforms. For instance, you can blend data present in an Excel file with that of an Oracle DB to create a new dataset.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau takes time to place a filter in context. When a filter is set as context one, the software creates a temporary table for that particular context filter.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used to utilize excel and our systems require the use of this application instead.
Positive Tableau Experience
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Tableau is highly customizable and intuitive for new users, even easier to pick up for a user who has already worked with other data analytics and visualization programs. The program makes it easy to put data into simple, visual forms for other users to digest and act on.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I dislike is that if there is functionality missing in the program, it may take a long time for the Tableau team to implement changes or customization depending on what users need. Users can request new functions, but with many services and programs there is a long timeline for approval, testing, and implementation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau allows users to easily pull together multiple sources of data (or link data directly) to create visualizations for other company users. Different groups can then identify where there are key issues or areas of improvement, put together a plan for action, and aim to resolve these issues.
Gets the Job Done, but Be Prepared for Setup Time
What do you like best about the product?
It does a great job of mixing data sources through it's proprietary blending and joining tools. For example, You can have a live SQL connection with a pre-saved query that joins to an Excel spreadsheet on your desk that acts as a crosswalk for a set of fields if need be.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's truly a "blank slate" and it takes time and effort to get your dashboards off the ground before you can publish them for your end users. The gains are there, as these "sandboxes" are self-serve and self-updating for your users, but the human capital it requires to get off the ground can be daunting.
Also, I wish that Tableau had a built-in Geocaching tool, as it';s ability to do long-Lad work is dependent on your ability to feed those tools into the system. Direct integration with Google Maps API is a non-starter since we deal with API, so it'd be nice if there was an add-in directly within Tableau.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've built entire "cubes" in Tableau which are able to churn through lots of data to do specific tasks (One particular cube would churn through 1,000,000+ lines of patient data to calculate weighted averages) and some basic graphs that auto-refresh for certain users. We're currently integrating Tableau at our current organization and using mapping and SQL to do analysis regarding the distance our patients travel to Pomona Valley Hospital within our service area.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have the Human Capital needed for setup and buy-in from Leadership, as this is an "all-in" solution that will require work before producing fruit.
One Place to See Everything

Sometimes when searching it brings in things from other business branches

Slight Improvement than exel.
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy how easy it is to add different tables to each other. I am not a high excel user but with tableau it makes it easier to make advanced pivot tables.
What do you dislike about the product?
You need to know about your database before using it. It takes some time to set it up and you might have to re work your tables in your table.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to get more people access to all our data so we can make better decisions as a company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
save to DB
SalesForce Analytics is a valuable tool for a business
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how I am able to use the customizable charts and graphs to help guide me with my strategies for optimizing revenue areas more effectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see the charts have more space for titles. It is ver crowded right now and gives you information overload.

I feel I can track my projects and prioritize my workload much easier,
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a great tool if you want to maximize yout company success.
Very dynamic dashboard software
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how simple it is to create visuals that tell a story
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes that server can be a bit slow when there is too much data
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To display metrics and analytics in a simple and streamlined way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you know that you want to display because there are so many things you can do with tableau. It is better to start with a goal in mind and then to use tableau to help create the dashboards, metrics or visual to achieve that goal.

2. Tableau defaults are based on best practices, so your initial result contains good color combinations and layout.
3. The user interface is well-organized so you can customize the view with a few clicks vs. multiple menus, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
Scheduling or notification of reports:
Tableau does not provide the feature of automatic refreshing of the reports with the help of scheduling. There is no option of scheduling in Tableau. Therefore, there is always some manual effort required when users needs to update the data in the back-end.

Great visualisations

The customisation of dashboards and the speed it manipulated large amounts of data is fantastic
What do you dislike about the product?
Rolling out Tableau Server as a separate feature for publishing dashboards isn’t ideal

Helping the team understand data and trends is different ways, and using the dashboards to cut data instantly to answer questions which would normally require several graphs and tables
