If you need highly sophisticated, interactive, customizable visualizations and a powerful desktop analytics engine, Tableau is becoming an industry standard.

Easy-to-learn, easy-to-use data visualization tool

  • August 20, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best part about Tableau, I feel, is the drag-and-drop interface. This helps any novice user to learn the tool and start using it very quickly. Filters and parameters provide a nice touch of interactivity to visualizations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of templates for commonly-used visualizations such as donuts, radars and speedometers which makes the user resort to workarounds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a management consultant and I've worked predominantly with manufacturing companies. I've used Tableau to create visualizations that enabled my clients to reduce procurement costs, monitor building HVAC systems, identify bottlenecks in shop floor operations etc. In the procurement scenario, we found that the client would be able to save $2.00 on each order of a specific part if they procured it from a different supplier. In another situation, we were able to identify process bottlenecks, the elimination of which would enable the client to produce 30 more products per month.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Will recommend it over Microsoft Power BI.

great data visualizations

  • August 15, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The user can easily create graphs and create calculated fields by just dragging and dropping the fields required.
The dashboards are very easy to create and a user does not have to have specific knowledge of any technology to understand Tableau.
What do you dislike about the product?
it is quite expensive to buy and cannot be used for personal/small business use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
create charts and generate reports
I have been able to create high-quality charts without needing to aggregate data separately or using a lot of steps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tableau offers free usage for students. I recommend that all students learn tableau if possible as it does not involve any technical knowledge to learn.

Tableau the viz champ

  • August 10, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
> Ease of use
> Splendid visuals
> Power to unleash creativity
> Blending different axis to create innovative visuals
> Integration with web pages and other technologies like CMS (Drupal, websphere)
What do you dislike about the product?

> Does not offer good reporting capabilities
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
> I am into HR analytics and we are responsible for delivering KPIs and other business metrics related to headcount, wagebase and positions
> Tableau has been our go-to tool for all HR analytics and BI visualization requirements
> We have been able to create complex calculations for better analysis
> We have been able to import and use infographics for different kinds of analysis where normal tableau visuals proved relatively ineffective
> We have been able to provide our users self service dashboards where they can log in and filter down to the exact data they need for their analysis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
> Please use tableau if you are not too much focused on getting data dumps
> It is recommended that users invest in a good data blending tool in order to prepare and cleanse the data before using it in tableau
> Tableau runs faster on flattened denormalized datasets
> I would also advise users to consider creating their TDE ( tableau data extracts) before using any data for the tableau sheets
