Tableau Review

PROS: The scalability of the program is outstanding. There are a variety of free alternatives for distributing and sharing reports and analysis, and using all of Tableau's products correctly creates unlimited scalability, which is helpful for any business to have immediate business intelligence. This is one of the most powerful components of it. Because of its highly developed intuitiveness, Tableau allows energy companies to have limited access to their employees, traditionally. Because Tableau is simple and intuitive, anyone at any level of the organization can find a reason to use it to improve the understanding of a specific business on a daily basis. Everyone can become a data collector in Tableau.

CONS: Tableau Desktop is an application that has been in use for many years and has a long history of development. Another area that I would like to see improved was the design. A painter that specializes in formatting, for example, would be helpful when consolidating reports and needing to apply a formatting theme to each part. If it had the ability to be modified, the parameter values would be correct. Providing more versatility in how parameters are used in Tableau will enable users to do much more with the tool and express their analysis more effectively.

PROS: Tableau makes it easy for us to find relationships between data and to pull information from different sources. Because of this, we can get the information we need with ease. What's more, the software is accessible from any device. All we need is a link and we can work with real-time data.

CONS: The only thing I do not like about Tableau is its reliance on an internet connection. Without it, I am unproductive. It also fails to respond to my commands at times, such as when I move to save my latest modifications. A lot of people in our company find this annoying.

PROS: This is my N.1 tool when I need to use data to present to my management team. The software is easy to use and it provides live update of the data. All of the stakeholders can easily understand the progress of the organization and growth measurement of the support and sales.

CONS: What I don’t like is the price, it is extremely expensive for startup and SMEs.

PROS: One of the best components of Tableau is its analytics tab that helps us generate forecasts for different aspects of the business. It is also helpful that it immediately provides us with visualization options once we drag that data into the system.

CONS: Tableau can be slow in processing data when it is unusually large. Also, it can be problematic when the software is unresponsive as soon as we use numerous filters.

PROS: Tableau allows us to discover different ways of presenting data in beautiful graphs, tables, and more. Because of it, our customers enjoy discovering things about their business such as trends, high and low points, and even changes they may want to apply to their operations for optimization.

CONS: A cloud-based software would have a more streamlined development and publication process compared to a desktop-only solution.

PROS: Tableau's plethora of options for visualizations enable us to present data in unique but fitting ways.

CONS: There seems to be a limitation on how we can present data. But rather than a problem with Tableau, it may have to do with the data we want to visualize.

PROS: The best thing about Tableau is that it does not require coding knowledge to produce visual reports and to arrange the interactive dashboards. The latter are even accessible on different devices so everyone can work even when they are away from their desks. Lastly, it has been adopted by our organization seamlessly because of its ease of use.

CONS: Cross joining is difficult to implement with Tableau so we were forced to make our algorithm. Aside from that, it is challenging to map connections between various databases.

PROS: Details and values behind the charts of the dashboards

CONS: 1: The sales reps are very aggressive and sleezy. They will mislead you and introduce last minute minimums. Given that they are an enterprise company they don't really care for small businesses. 2: The support during trial period is limited and not very useful. You are on you own for the most part to figure it out. 3: The learning curve is very high despite all the online resources. 4: Building table relationships between tables causes duplication. You have to do a lot of data cleaning and normalization before you can actually do a report. 5: Trusted authentication doesn't work after tremendous effort. 6: Tableau server is very clunky, requires a lot of ram and takes forever to startup. 7: Slowness. Overall the experience with the reports is slow 8: Printing reports and saving them is not an easy option. 9: Compared to powerbi the desktop is not as userfriendly. It took us 1 hour to learn powerbi but it took us over 2 weeks with the some help to figure out formulas in tableau 10: Creating reports using R or phyton is not an option.

PROS: Tableau enables us to connect our various databases and to draw information from them which we can consolidate into easy-to-understand reports.

CONS: It takes an odious amount of time to open it when it is integrated with our databases.

PROS: I knew this service from the academic field and then I was able to transfer it to the workplace. Excellent tool for data capture, processing and visualization. The application of statistical models on the data that is displayed is very useful and this is not complicated. What hooked me with this service was undoubtedly the combination of very pleasant and interactive graphical visualizations along with the application of advanced statistical models in some cases.

CONS: As I mentioned before, the use of this service in the desktop version is annoying due to the constant updates that lead to reinstall the application. If they could give support with updates on the same downloaded version it would be great.

PROS: I like that it allows me to integrate with multiple data sources into one visually appealing and user-friendly dashboard where anyone can take a look on the information they need. Before using this sofwtare we had lot of problems in finding ways to show how numerous data sources were interacting.

CONS: Tableau offers free and detailed online videos that are highly helpful but it can be really hard to follow without pausing. Sometimes the specific dara set that I’m working with can be difficult and sometimes you cannot find answers to some questions within the tutorials.

PROS: This is great product that is extremely helpful and easy to use. You get visual analytics in a few minutes. It changes the way we run our business and it provides us with insight to the data we need. I like that we can connect to every data source and to publish to Tableau server so we can share our work with others.

CONS: I cannot manage OLAP cube data sources well and it lacks support for Parent-Child Hierarchies.

PROS: With Tableau data analysis are more accessible. We can track hidden stories and share our findings and make our data approachable to anyone. Its visuals are with high quality and straightforward. We using it on meetings to share initial visuals so others can ask questions and share screen with others so we can all find out the answers. Also, I like its community, they are always active and responsive and everyone provides some piece of knowledge. It is customizable software and this means that you can use Python and R in order to extend the capability of the product.

CONS: It is great software and they constantly improves it but it doesn’t do everything. It can do ETL but it won’t depend on ETL.

PROS: The tool is easy to use, it offers wonderful visuals and it combines various axis for creating innovative visuals. What I like most is that it offers great integrations with web-pages and other CMS technologies.

CONS: Sometimes it’s not flexible when it comes to blending data items, it doesn’t offer query support and great reporting capabilities. Also, the security set-up is complex a and it doesn’t meet industry standards.

PROS: What I like most is its simplicity and how I can create and deploy analytical dashboards quickly and effortlessly. It offers numerous in-built features that are great for complex statistical analysis and it allows us to create our own calculations for the graphs. We are able to connect to different data sources in order to pull data and to process multiple data sources inside Tableau.

CONS: While doing some normal operatins some bugs arise. Also, when they release new updates sometimes they mess with our dashboard. Furthermore, old and new version are not compatible and this means that when dashboard is created in old version when I want to open it in new version it doesn’t work anymore.

PROS: This is great solution for both beginners and expert analysts because it is cisually appealing software. I like the drag and drop feature for building visually appealing dashboards and reports within minutes. It doesn’t require programming skills. The tool is so simple that with only few clicks you’ll get quality and quick visualization dashboard or store so you can findout any insight from the data.

CONS: When there are huge amount of records in memory the software is slowing down.

PROS: It helps us to connect with multiple data sources including CSV files, Statistical files, access and server databases like Amazon Aurora, Hadoop and Tableau Server. I like that I can import and visualize every kind of data by using selection of built-in charts, graphics, mathematical models and geographical templates. The drag and drop feature makes it easy to measure data files.

CONS: It can produce some delay in building the reports and this depends on your network capacity, server specifications, local computer configuration and connection to a server database.

PROS: Tableau Is easy to set-uo and building charts and graphs is simple process and help you to track trends on transaction data. I like that they constantly update and improve the product. It provides active user community where you can ask questions, search and find solutions quickly. You can share the results with other colleagues. This is wonderful solution for analysis and charting without using Excel or work on some clunky UI.

CONS: When it comes to reading large data sets the software can be very slow and there are some issues with formats and it requires using some complicated cod in formulas for data formats, this can be ver time-consuming. Also, the color palette is not best and sometimes it doesn’t allow you to import company’s branding. Furthermore, editing of fonts is hard to automatically apply to different charts once they are built.
