A powerfull and complex tool
What do you like best about the product?
The visuals are excellent. Very crisp, clean, and modern. Once the report is built, I like that it can be imbedded to your website.
What do you dislike about the product?
Building the report is often very time consuming and frustrating. When connecting to a data warehouse the dates can't be edited using a filter like when connecting to other data sources. Also, there are ways of creating custom color templates, but this requires some HTML coding. Instead of just saving a color palette.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating reports that are scalable for many different users that come from many different technical backgrounds. We have been able to create custom reports that have modern visuals that are user friendly and easy to perceive action along with creating reports that the objects adjust easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make it easier for first time users to connect to data and build their 1st report. It is far above other software out there, but for the price I think the learning curve may scare a lot of people. It would be nice to have a quick report feature that allows you to build common reports similar to those in excel without having to know in-depth know of Tableau. I believe that is what gets people hooked and wanting to know more. Also, the performance on rather large data sets can often take a while to load hindering people from using it the way it is intended.
Healthcare & Life Scienes Utilization of Wave Analytics
What do you like best about the product?
Quick and efficient deployment. We were/are able to quickly deploy analytics to our mobile users and have actionable intelligence.
What do you dislike about the product?
Extra processes/add-ons to explore JSON code and modify data sets. A bit detailed/technical to modify JSON and/or update data sets once created.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mobilizing analytics and enabling actionable interactive Business Intelligence
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommended

Tableau
What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexibility and customizations it has to offer.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am pretty new to the product so I haven't found anything that I dislike about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We provide data to our members through Tableau and the platform is much more dynamic than what we used to offer our members.
Very, Very Informative
What do you like best about the product?
Allows you to create numerous tiles heavily diving into various metrics - that you specify. At least with my company, we had a handful of tableau specialists who would do the dirty work of getting the reports built. Tableau also has some great filtering tools that allows users to drill pretty far down into larger sets of data.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be slightly overwhelming at times - although I think this is dependent on how you design it specifically for each user. Also tends to take a long time to load all information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau allows you to look at the big picture - while also having the ability to drill down into a specific representative on a specific day. This is providing us with the benefit of having one universal tool for everyone to use to look at data, rather than having to build numerous dashboards and reports for everyone.

Not as customizable as I would like it to be
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monthly Administrative Report Automation. Save time and consolidate access.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider how much customization you will need. If you need high customization, Tableau may not be right. If you want standard style reporting with ease of use then Tableau is the right choice
Tableau for teachers
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau offers free licenses to students and faculty. This makes visualizing data easy for students, as well as basic analysis. Really great for undergrad and graduate students who need to make presentations or charts for reports.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cannot export large images - are fuzzy in large poster presentations which makes it difficult for me to recommend to students. It would be nice to have a bit more control of the image size/ quality and format.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping students recognize the value of data visualization and the impact it has on their work.
Getting students used to utilizing data analytics and visualization software before they need to know it in the workplace.
Getting students used to utilizing data analytics and visualization software before they need to know it in the workplace.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's great for analysis and visualization as long as you do not need to export high quality images. (that need to be blown up)

Sometimes the site will freeze and not update on a daily basis

Visual display of revenue, ability to sort by which accounts make the most money
