What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Data Anlaysis: finding the discrepancies or insights in data becomes easier when we do a visualization. Doing the same in table format would take a lot of time
2. Interactive dashboards: explaining the insights to the clients has become easier. With Tableau you can create powerful visualization in very less time

A very intuitive and easy-to-learn tool
What do you like best about the product?
- It is a very easy and intuitive tool to use. Unlike PowerBI, it took less time to learn how to use the tool.
- The integration with external applications (in my case MySQL) was very simple.
- A lot of documentation both from Tableau's official page and from the community in various forums and video platforms.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only disadvantage would be not having a free version of the program. Although it offers a 14-day free trial, it was not enough for me to learn everything this tool offers, and it is also not enough time to gain experience with the program if one wishes to excel in jobs where it is needed. Although it is an easy-to-use tool with several very practical functionalities, I could not afford the constant use of the application for financial reasons.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The fact of presenting deliverables to management quickly and effectively.

What do you dislike about the product?
I did come across few things that I felt were missing such as data cleaning.
A user would have to do all the data cleaning beforehand
When it comes to visualizations, even if some functionalites are missing there are always alternatives to achieve the same task in Tableau

Useful for data summarizing and dashboarding
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Tableau's most valuable features are its ability to summarize data, provide dynamic controls for navigating different charts, and showcase historical data trends. I appreciate the option to colour-code different charts for improved customer experience.
Tableau has influenced our decision-making process. With its ability to create conditional views and filter data easily, we can quickly analyze information and make informed decisions. It saves us time by providing a concise business performance summary, allowing us to focus rather than sorting through extensive Excel files.
What needs improvement?
Tableau could be improved by introducing a data manipulation layer within the tool itself. Currently, data manipulations require using additional tools like Alteryx. If Tableau included these capabilities, it would reduce the need for external dependencies. The tool gets slower when we feed huge amounts of data.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with the product for four months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the solution's stability a nine out of ten since it gets slower whenever huge data is added.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The tool's scalability is easy. I rate it a ten out of ten. My company has thousands of users for Tableau.
How are customer service and support?
We've got a dedicated support. It's easy to reach out to them, and they respond promptly.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
I rate the tool's deployment a six out of ten. It depends on the individual's technical background. Someone with a technical background could learn it in about a week or ten days. However, for someone from a non-technical background, it might take them longer, maybe a month, to grasp the more complex aspects of the tool.
What was our ROI?
Tableau has provided a return on investment for our company. It has helped us manage critical information such as outstanding payments and trade details. With Tableau, we have gained visibility into outstanding rates and payment dues, enabling us to follow up on penalties or payments from clients.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution's licensing is based on user-basis. It depends on the business ROI it offers. It's not on the higher side or too cheap; it falls in the medium-cost range. The price is determined by user usage, so the cost will also increase as the number of users increases.
What other advice do I have?
For data analysis, we primarily use Tableau for basic tasks like creating pie charts or calculating averages. However, it lacks extensive or complex data analysis capabilities.
Tableau's data planning capabilities are somewhat limited. To compensate, we rely on other tools like Alteryx for data manipulation. Once we've prepared the data, we create hyperfiles and use Tableau for dashboarding.
I would recommend Tableau for advanced visualization tools. Still, I must mention that other powerful options are available in the market, such as Power BI. Power BI, which offers extensive data manipulation and dashboarding capabilities, while Tableau is old. Additionally, Power BI has newer versions, enhanced capabilities, and better integrations.
Right now, there are no talks on replacing it. So, my company will continue to rely on Tableau because it has many users. If we have to move to another tool, there must be a migration plan and many logistical changes, which could be a challenge.
I rate the overall product an eight out of ten. I advise those considering using Tableau to analyze their needs beforehand. Tableau can be a valuable data analysis and visualization tool, but it's important to understand what you want to achieve with it.
A good tool for data visualization

First things first, it is relatively easy if it is your first tool in data visualization. It is also loaded with features and can get almost all of your job done as far as making and presenting dynamic and easy-to-understand and dashboards is concerned.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the cons is that you can't write direct sql queries. Sometimes the dashboards can be slow as data sync issues creep up. Also, there are cheaper alternatives in the market.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is just a very good starting tool for data visualisation and presentation.
