Tableau is a powerful tool

  • February 20, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

    Non-Profit Organization Management

Great high powered Data Viz system

  • February 20, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is an industry leading software package, and for multi-user use, the Tableau Server is the backbone that makes it all work. On a daily basis I login to our Tableau Server and use reports we have built to show our base line metrics. Being able to have automatically refreshed data at my finger tips is a real blessing compared to the old OLAP pivot table days.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a non-profit the Licensing fee for the Tableau server can price out some of the most helpful uses. We have had multiple occasions where we have been unable to justify the cost for a server license for someone, which is never what users want to hear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing reporting and Data via the Tableau server has cut out time that was previously wasted to create and then maintain reporting that was not always visually consistent. It gives everyone the exact same data to look at, instead of people using other tools to pull the data separately, which is and always will be a huge issue.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Connect with the Tableau beta testing process, that way you can see what is on the horizon. Then you can plan ahead and upgrade your Tableau Server as needed when the updates become available.

It's the best in class data visualizer, but has a big learning curve

  • February 19, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is really great at handling large data sets. I've dropped in files that have tens of millions of rows of data, in addition to multiple connections and data attributes, and as long as I extract a .twb file local version on my computer it's very quick.

The other thing I like is the customizable data after you've imported. For example - if I had a data property that wasn't being calculated correctly, I can convert data, write custom formulas to better analyze and more. Their visualization tool is also the best I've used.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has a BIG learning curve, and it sometimes not user-friendly. I understand that it's a complex product, but it's the same amount of effort as learning excel as a true beginner IMO. I spent enough time messing things up in Tableau that I *eventually* learned it, but it took me a while. It can also be slow to load large data sets initially.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Tableau to visualize all of our data and make it digestible to understand trends/areas of improvement. One of the things we love to do is see trends that may not be noticeable from just looking at the raw data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to find online resources.


    Higher Education

It is life changing

  • February 16, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can change the way that people think about data by showing them instead of telling them.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a small learning curve, but it is well worth it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can now run reports and see realtime what is happening to my business.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would do a free trial and just learn from it.

It makes life so easy for end users without much of Technical knowledge
What do you dislike about the product?

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Preparation of storyboards and dashboards for sales and marketing data to analyze the revenue yearly, monthly and quarterly along with the sales and revenue in particular regions and sectors
Recommendations to others considering the product:

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I loved having all of my reporting in one portal. In the past we had to go to numerous different sites to pull together the data we needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main thing I disliked was the exporting capabilities. It confused a lot of my reps on how to initially export into excel etc, there is a learning curve here. We also ran into challenges that I wouldnt be able to access reports that it should I had access to- it only worked when someone emailed me the link- technical issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business Problems- Clarity into the business internally and for client reporting. Benefits that I have realized- Saves a lot of time pulling all of your reports from one platform.
