Leading tool in usability and integrations
What do you like best about the product?
Describing the potential of the tool is quite simple given the usability and technical differentiation of the platform. From learning, through the sophisticated interface, to implementation, absolutely everything in this tool refers to the fantastic purpose of Business Intelligence in organizations. The interface is a differentiator, aligned with usability through the connection with different data sources. Big data is quite admirable in the tool and the integrations have an enchanting performance speed. The support and community are a positive factor. I recommend it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Price is a threat factor for small businesses that do not have the budget for Business Intelligence projects with this interface. Languages and programming are some of the factors that require prior knowledge from programmers considering the use of the tool. It is important to highlight that the package is sold with a limited number of licenses, meaning that for organizations with more users, the need for more licenses becomes necessary, which represents additional cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Development of Dashboards whose integration with legacy systems allows for a synchronicity of opportunities and quite advanced readings. From the implementation of Tableau, the reading can be established with different databases, from Excel to large systems like SAP and Oracle. The tool has connectors that allow and generate easy integration between different types of systems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The recommendations are the best. The Trial is a complete platform that allows an initial experimentation which will bring the necessary answers to users and managers.
Solid early stage tool
What do you like best about the product?
The initial learning curve and startup was pretty smooth, with a lot of good value in the first week or so of use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The scalability seems to be finicky, requiring either more expertise or time than our team has available to spend or just intermittent functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data visualization of our entire fleet performance all at once, with the ability to have real-time reports dynamically generated.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely try before you buy. As long as you can leverage the software immediately upon installation Tableau is well worth the time.
Tableau server is flexible with connections
What do you like best about the product?
- connects with various types of data sources
- gives the option to refresh automatically or keep the copy static
- performs all the joins and other SQL functions in the background
- gives the option to refresh automatically or keep the copy static
- performs all the joins and other SQL functions in the background
What do you dislike about the product?
- should be more intuitive for connections and easily identify which SQL functions are required. Some of the joints that we apply of different sources (large tables) are complex and it becomes difficult to understand the output and validate its accuracy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Slice and dice our key metrics, raw data from incident management and site availability perspective.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
- Don't completely rely on the outputs. Make sure that you validate the data in the backend (atleast for the first time)
- some of the graphing capabilities are better in Excel (especially when u want to render it in power point)

One of the best tools to measure everything about your group
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau is simple, yet complex. It offers some amazing ways to measure every detail about the people and products you need to know about.
What do you dislike about the product?
The splash pages aren't as intuitive as I'd like, but once you get past that, the rest is great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We know where we're at. We know where we need to grow. We know where we're winning
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Find someone to be the expert within your company so that one person can own the details and creation of the systems within Tableau. The reports are intuitive enough that they will be helpful to anyone else who gets a brief overview of how to use the system.
Old School Goodness but somehow lackluster
What do you like best about the product?
Neat Data migration capabilities. Diverse data streams inclusivity possible.
What do you dislike about the product?
Too clumsy and hard to navigate. ETL recognition could be much better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This product fits very well in the Tableau suite of products but to use it with a difffent source makes it a tad difficult
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look out for hyper-lean new age solutions like the SiSense platform which is much much faster than Tableau in every aspect. The ETL and data migration is much easier to cross link as well.
Great for information sharing
What do you like best about the product?
Tableau Server is a great tool for information sharing as multiple users can access published workbooks in a controlled environment. I find the dashboards to be particularly useful for visualizing data.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it a bit difficult for reporting purposes as the dashboard containers aren't able to adjust to fit nicely on a page for printing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were looking for a way to easier see quarterly movements in multiple dimensions and this created a great framework to do so.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be aware that Tableau isn't backwards compatible. As a user publishing workbooks from Tableau Desktop to Server, this is important that the versions are in sync.
Helpful, professional reporting software
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I am able to track key metrics for my employees using Tableau's easy-to-use reporting framework.
What do you dislike about the product?
Given the high level of data we have in my company, it can take some time to refresh the reports. I also know we have issues syncing our data with Mitel at an 'on-demand' basis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Looking at key performance metrics for our staff has been tough. With Tableau, we can quantify this data in ways that we would never have thought of. This is especially great for creating effective presentation graphics as the visuals are quite aesthetic.
Tableau Server: Easy to Get Started, and Maintain
What do you like best about the product?
It took only minutes to set up. Soon thereafter we were publishing models for users to utilize.
It takes little to manage Tableau Server on an ongoing basis.
It takes little to manage Tableau Server on an ongoing basis.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tableau Server does not offer any solution for version control on its published models.
I also found it difficult at times to discover the root causes of failed scheduled tasks.
It would be nice to have some more optimization tools in order to get the most out of the models being offered and the resources required to refresh the data on an ongoing basis,
Pricing to expose Tableau models on websites is expensive.

Pricing to expose Tableau models on websites is expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have realized countless business problems over many knowledge areas.
Most importantly, we have moved from a model of printing/emailing reports to Branch Managers on a daily basis, most of which was ignored, or far too much time was required of them to analyse to one that allows them to get information on demand, that is drillable and flexible enough to allow for ad-hoc discovery.
This has allowed us to be more agile.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tableau Software was very supportive of our efforts to deploy Tableau Server. They offered copious amounts of help, and made resources available to us when required. We are not a big account for them, but were not treated as an afterthought.
We would recommend to start small. It is fast to start, and with little prototyping the results will quickly justifying further investment.

Powerful product, takes some time to learn.
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to handle a large range of data sources. Good user groups to help me discover what to build.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a steep learning curve, but lots of resources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I want to visualize Qualtrics data in a dashboard that can be shared with my entire company.
Great tool for data visualization and more!
What do you like best about the product?
Data loading is a breeze. The interface is simple and easy to use. The visualizations are wonderful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Takes a while to process large datasets. Creating an extract helps but not all the times. Need to have data formatted in the right format to to anything worthwhile.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Big data visualizations. We have been able to offer our members so much more now that we use tableau. Visualizations and data manipulation is easy and can be done in a matter of minutes. Plus the data is all right there if a member wants to see a certain cut.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the free desktop version to visualize data. The best way to get used to it is to just start playing around. You will love what you come out with!
