Tableau reviews

Processing power, easy to use, user friendly, good number of chart templates

Can’t pre-process the data as much as i would wish. Have to buy another software - Tableau Prep.

I like the possibility of all the features.

It is very slow and inaccurate at the most critical times. Really disappointing.

Most useful is being able to use the drag-and-drop function, which saves time creating data visualizations in a simple way. Analyzing the data is a plus, it can be done with filters or my favorite "trend analysis".

Tableau support is not free, you must pay for a plan to access it. And the stability issue itself is a negative factor as well, as it slows down for large amounts of data.

I love its map functionalities - it's so simple to create a detailed map of locations of company X in country Y or locations of various companies in country Y on a heatmap with population density. You can divide your map by different categories, use different colours for different categories and it just has so many possibilities that it's really fun to use.

Connecting different data sources can be a little frustrating - you need to be careful with your file extensions and always double-check your data types.

It is a great tool to organize data. It happens to help with gathering data and allowing us to really invent a great way to come through

it can be constructed in a more automated way

I like the endless possibility of working with the raw data sets and making them easy-to-understand charts.

The system is a bit slow if you handle a large data set. Also, it is very complex, so it takes a lot of time to learn how to use it best.

All the data configuration possibilities and ways data could be manipulated.

Complexity of use is high for the average user

Really convenient to have datasets in one place which helps to quickly analyse and find trends.

Can be challenging to navigate sometimes.

With Tableau, it is easy and straightforward to collect, prepare, model and visualize data across multi-cloud and on-premise sources.

Unavailability of iOS and Android mobile apps is the only issue.

Its outstanding visualization capabilities, has appealed to me the most. The quality of my data visualization activity on Tableau is far superior to what I have gotten from substitute business intelligence or analytics tools.
Tableau's infusion of generative AI into my data visualization and analysis experience, enables me to integrate predictive modeling into my Tableau workflow, thereby improving the quality of insights I generate from my data.

Tableau comes with a steep learning curve and it is simply not for early stage data professionals. To learn to use Tableau effectively, a user must have had experience using lesser visualization platforms in the past.

The way you can display the important information you need and being able to create multiple dashboards. Along with the fact you can easily see the breakdown of the KPI's and compare it.

The time it takes to update the information generated. In most cases it took 2 full days to get the most recent information on the KPI's

Simple, easy to use and yet fully customizable. Tableau is a cheap solutions to visualize your data or to prepare shareable dashboard or event plots to be embedded in external websites.

There is a limit on external images that you can import in your Tableau workbooks. Sometimes Tableau is quite slow when processing heavy tables.

Tableau is a very easy tool for the use of the creation of Dashborad for data visualization with different connectors,with the drag and drop option & with various functions it makes the job simpler

We are currently getting data for Tableau Online from DB via a Flow created in Tableau Online, if the flow fails we are not seeing exact error message why the flow is failed it just says Failed an Error occured, it will be good to have the exact error message displayed

The reporting feels very accurate, which gives me confidence in our weekly/monthly/yearly results

It is very slow to load reports, especially when result is required as matter of urgency, and the lack of live data

What I love about Tableau is how easy it is to quickly change, modify and filter reports to produce the exact data visualizations that you need. In the office, we use it a lot for simple reporting measures.

It might just be our software, but we are unable to change the visuals for our reports. Font style, size and colors are not able to be changed from our view, but it would be nice to have the option.

Being able to aggregate so many data sources and such a large amount of data into a visualization that is easy to navigate. It is also very customizable to provide different types of views

it can be tricky to export data and you really need someone who is an expert in data visualization to build usable visuals

Customization options were nearly endless with time and resources.

User adoption was difficult because it was not as intuitive as other products. Seemingly easy visualizations were quite difficult to set up resulting in time spent figuring out seemingly basic options where that time could have been spent elsewhere.

Tableau is one of the best data visualization tools out in the market, it allows you to produce highly customizable, appealing visualizations and dashboards. I have used plenty of data visualization tools, but Tableau takes the cake.

Nothing I can think of, Tableau is a great tool, very easy to use and share with teams

Tableau is an easy tool to use and learn. Depending on the complexity of data projects and reports, Tableau can be considered a flexible tool that can transform data into insightful charts. Its web blog and public catalog have a lot of help, ideas, examples, answers, and solutions to problems which proved to be very helpful on a lot of occasions.

The challenging part is that sometimes I get outcomes that are different from what is expected in terms of values. It is difficult and sometimes time-consuming to debug and understand how Tableau reached these values and errors.

Using Tableau has been easy and is very and meet our needs.
It is highly customizable

No issues at all. Tableau has met needs.
