Short-term user for 6 months
What do you like best about the product?
the visualization of the data; the ability to drill down into details; the user interface is fantastic
What do you dislike about the product?
while it does allow me to drill down into details - the details are not what I was used to - usually in our datasets, we can link on a cell and more details would open up on another tab - we lost that ability in Tableau
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
our data management team was overwhelmed with data requests - Tableau allowed us to provide real-time data to internal stakeholder on demand
Tableau makes pulling live data reports easy
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy Tableau because I like the ability to pull live reports very easily and quickly. It is nice to be able to have different templates/files that you can quickly pull specific fields.
What do you dislike about the product?
I mainly use Tableau to pull live reports and quick and easy ways to quality control our data. The extent to which I have used this application I have been happy with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to quality control our data is HUGE in making sure our information is correct and accurate.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a nice way to have different users and have the ability to access live and up to date data that allows you to quality control any bulk upload data or "data entry" information. It is also really easy to pull data from your system so that clients can easily view and quality check the information you have in their system.
Very intuitive and easy to hook up, excellent visuals.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simple connections with multiple data sources and the ability to create joins on seemingly disparate sources.
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of the visuals take a lot of extra work to create visually, mostly due to a lack of direct script writing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We did not have any reporting or dashboards outside of Excel spreadsheets, this gave us the ability to have a better visual which automatically updated with our base SQL / Salesforce / Google Analytics data automatically.
Tableau - Great analytics!
What do you like best about the product?
It's so easy and intuitive, you can learn it yourself if you have previous training in Excel or other analytics packages. Lots of good training tutorials on the web, too.
What do you dislike about the product?
That I don't know how to use even 40% of what the software is capable of.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business data analytics >> decision making
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at Tableau, but also investigate Wave Analytics, especially if you're using SalesForce.
Lots of data in a managable package
What do you like best about the product?
It is a great way to view population data in a way that is more managable and easy to digest.
What do you dislike about the product?
Through no fault of the software, the data can be overwhelming. In fact, my criticism is that there seem to be too many options and that this program could be simplified and made more user friendly this way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this software to look at data around population health: ED visits, projected and actual costs, ect.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A great tool to try out, however, it takes some experimentation and experience to fully benefit from the data.
Helpful software
What do you like best about the product?
Helpful in discovering relationships between variables
What do you dislike about the product?
unable to map street addresses, only uses zip codes, cities, countries
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
trying to find relationships between variables.
Dashboards created by my data team used to show sales results & marketing investment
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to interact with the tool with drop downs to show different data
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not the one that uploads the data into the tool. From my perspective, it does what I need it to do
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Show results with dashboards and easy-to-interpret graphs
Easy to learn, Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to quickly tell a story with the data. Has been critical in presentations to executives.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be difficult to create complex charts on the first try. I wish that there was a quick reference guide so I that wouldn't have to work by trial and error.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Basic data analysis. This tool allows me to create presentations that helps me identify opportunities and generate buy-in.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it. Tableau now offers a free version that is a great way to get your feet wet while you are still deciding whether to buy or not to buy.
Quick solution but don't like
What do you like best about the product?
It's quick to implement data data dashboards using this tool. But it's not great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Back end is awful, not enough customization options, very slow to load data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making data actionable.
Useful tool for getting the "big picture" of data
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it allows non-technical people a user friendly way to manipulate data.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that I felt that the software was a bit slow and cumbersome with large data sets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was able to create an increased visibility of otherwise hard to find data. I was able to use Tableau to show data on a hosted web server that was accessible to all of our employees.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are using small data sets, it will probably work very well for you. However, if you are using large data sets, you may want to consider a different tool.
