Creating visually stunning and impactful dashboards is where Tableau truly shines. The array of visualization options, from dynamic charts to interactive maps, allows us to communicate insights in a way that captivates and resonates with our audience. The visual appeal not only enhances presentations but also facilitates a deeper understanding of complex datasets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a projects lead, I am able to optimize data management, improve decision-making processes, and keep stakeholders well-informed about the project by utilizing the many capabilities and useful features of Tableau. It is easy to implement and seamlessly integrates with relevant applications. Furthermore, its predictive analytics capabilities allow for the forecasting of project outcomes based on historical data trends. Tableau is a powerful data visualization tool that enables users to analyze and present data in a visually appealing manner. It allows for connectivity to various data sources, the creation of interactive dashboards, and the exploration of insights through charts, graphs, and maps. This, in turn, enables team members to delve into specific aspects of the project by creating interactive elements for deeper analysis when necessary. The active and extensive Tableau community, as well as its customer support, are highly effective in providing resources, forums, and user-generated content for support and knowledge-sharing.

In my career as an IT executive, and having worked on multiple enterprise Business Intelligence programs for Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies, Tableau was the bane of my existence and in every company where Tableau was implemented by business, I found myself in Tableau hell. While Tableau does enable unsophisticated users with the ability to create stunning visual representations of data, Tableau goes against the very challenges that Business Intelligence programs and Information Management have been diligently trying to solve. At the end of the day, Tableau is like a virus across the organization; there is no single version of the truth, the data and KPI's in the reports are stove-piped and the context of the data is not understood by those creating and using the reports. With great power comes great responsibility and my experience with Tableau has been a proverbial thorn in my side and considerable time, money and resources was invested by the companies I worked for trying to reconcile the Tableau reports produced by end-users against the gold-standard reports being produced by Enterprise Business Intelligence platforms, and mission-critical business decisions were negatively affected by inaccurate data on Tableau reports and significant monies were wasted replacing/automating the Tableau reports with accurate, enterprise reports, dashboards and real Business Intelligence solutions.

As a small company, we're only currently using Tableau Desktop for ad hoc analyses and occasional charts for projects and proposals.
Tableau's charting is its best functionality, at least for what we need. A second, critically important feature is the ability to pull data from a variety of sources, without requiring ODBCs.

Tableau Desktop is being used in support of our SMB clients to enable us to analyze their data for our support services.
Tableau Desktop needs to provide a comprehensive training program for first time users Training that is currently provided does not allow for any user interaction so it becomes just a lecture without allowing the user to develop muscle memory with the product. Tableau Desktop does not provide any phone support which means that once a user buys the product, he is on his own.

We use Tableau as a way of combining a large number of data sources to create one cohesive story, which guides our business decisions.

Tableau Desktop is used at our organization by most of our analysts, who then publish the reports to Tableau Server for distribution to everyone else in the organization to consume the information. This enables our analysts, myself included, to use Tableau Desktop to create helpful insights which can then be used by anyone at any technical level.
Very steep learning curve for those who haven't used it previously. Because it's a powerful tool, getting it to do simple things can be extremely difficult. A jack-of-all-trades solution, sometimes it's hard to find or create industry-specific visualizations, such as NPS gauges.

We only have one license because of the cost. This means that only one user can edit reports, etc. This makes it very difficult as the user who runs the daily report isn't necessarily the user who we would want to create new reports or edit existing ones. More than one license is too expensive and working with a single license is annoying.

I have worked on domains like Telecom and Network where in I have been using Tableau. Its really liked by senior management as it shows each and every bit very clearly to relevant stake holders. For example, Marketing head likes region wise revenue sale dashboard which gives region/sales manager/product wise sale.

Years ago I've purchased as small business a Tableau Desktop Professional license for almost 2000 USD. That time I thought it was a good investment. Before the purchase I've asked for the annual software-update prices as this is a critical factor if you have a small business but lots of software licenses. In the next 3 years they raised their prices from yearly 150 EUR to a 250 EUR, but released almost ZERO updates ( **just one small update per year** ). After 3 years I had no mone...

Tableau is an excellent program for those people who enjoy working with data and statistics. It also allows you to organize the information properly, and then analyze it step by step. The information that is graphed in this program can be used for a work or business presentation. This program can be linked to Microsoft Excel or Google Sheet, which helps you store information that will be used as a database in Tableau. Another very good thing is that it is 100% free. You do not have to ...
