Tableau desktop
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy the accessibility to the data using this platform. The simple layout makes it easy to use and consume the data.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would say there could be more functionality in the program. It's almost too simple. Also, it tends to be slow with large datasets as well as exporting into excel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps to automate certain reports and processes. Having everything in an easy to consume form makes these processes more efficient.

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.

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.
Tableau for visualization
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is a wonderful resource for creating interactive and creative visuals. We often utilize the heat mapping and dashboard functions to display data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to find embedded data in already created dashboards. When trying to make edits on a visualization that you did not create, there are multiple different ways to create visuals using embedded spreadsheets or manually inputting data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau allow us to best display business intelligence results and share these results with clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tableau is like Microsoft Excel on steroids - it provides better graphics and options for uploading interactive and colorful files with embedded data in graphs, charts, and maps.
Great Tool to Visualize Your Data
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to learn even for someone without extensive knowledge in other visualization tools. Easy drag and drop type of tool that helps to summarize and visualize large amount of data with few clicks. You can generate an effective dashboard that enables users to view multiple charts and graphs at the same time easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still not capable to incorporate a lot of features and it is expensive to acquire license.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To build Dashboards.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The more you use, the more comfortable you get to the software.
Initial thoughts on Tableau
What do you like best about the product?
I’ve just begun using Tableau, but I’m impressed with how intuitive the software is. The visualizations that can be created and manipulated by the end user provide a tremendous about of value when using data to tell a story.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this time, the cost of the licenses is the only negative.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When providing data to a large audience, not everyone is trying to draw the same conclusion. By providing a fluid visualization, individuals can use the viz to draw their own conclusions rather than viewing a static report.
Great way to share and collaborate analytics
What do you like best about the product?
I love that anyone in my org can view my dashboards and visualizations without needing the Desktop suite installed. it makes things fast and easy for them to be able to dive into the data..
What do you dislike about the product?
Its a little hard to get data out of Tableau Server into programs like Excel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using it to share business results and KPIs for a variety of consumer product sales and supply chain data.
