It is just great. Functionality, UX. What often stays underappreciated is the Tableau community. Even though the support far from being the best one (I guess company grew too big), one can always find the answers in the community or simply share a sample workbook and others will help.

Pros

I love almost everything about the Tableau. It is a pure joy to create and analyze report. The data visualization capabilities are simply the best on the market and it is so easy to use that it is just mind-blowing. One can connect Tableau workbook to almost any imaginable data source and in a matter of minutes create a great report.

Cons

It is really hard to think about the cons, but if it is really necessary then Tableau Prep can be quite slow if the file tend to combine more than three sources with the number of columns exceeding a 100. Even if the number of rows is fairly small (less than 1000).

The overall experience is good. I have created many important visuals on the platform.

Pros

I think Tableau is up there when it comes to data visualization. One is able to create complex data visuals as one wishes. Secondly, one is able to perform arithmetic on the data as you create the visuals. Tableau is the best platform for data analysts and the whole business community.

Cons

When creating visuals, Tableau chooses the type of chart to use according to the type of data you have. For instance, one is not able to create a line chart unless data involving dates is used. This can be really annoying.

Although it integrates with many platforms and getting data into the system is easy, trying to manipulate and display that data compared to the likes of powerbi, I find difficult and cumbersome and wouldn’t recommend

Pros

Tableau integrated with a lot of other providers which was great for connecting data across the tech stack, and it easily allowed you to import data form excel or other files

Cons

The set up and learning curve was very difficult, the tool isn’t intuitive to use and setting up dashboards and real time reporting just felt very time consuming and difficult, never particularly got anywhere with it where I felt I was using it to its full potential.

Overall experience is positive. The visualizations is great, the drag and drop feature is like working on an excel pivot table. It can also transform the data to excel to further process

Pros

Tableau allows users to create a wide variety of interactive, high-quality visualizations, such as charts, maps, and dashboards, with drag-and-drop ease. The tool is user friendly and very simple to learn + use

Cons

The tool could become complex for some users for in-depth analysis / calculation. However, if you have been using other similar tool, this should not be an issue. The formatting is somewhat limited but it is not much of an issue

The data is clearer and more accessible to everyone, giving a better, more fluid analysis. It helps to have a faster explanation of the real data.

Pros

Tableau uses artificial intelligence and makes all data easier to analyze and better understood by each user. Sometimes not all data is understood by everyone and what Tableau does is make its presentation easier to understand with its presentation design. Its integration of all data in a single platform helps make it more understandable and better organized.

Cons

It has always worked well, there is nothing wrong at the moment or something to correct.

Overall I’ve really enjoyed the program. It puts data into visuals that we can then share with our carriers. We have the ability to use it for inside information or carrier facing information.

Pros

As a shipper who is always looking for solid carriers this program provides unique visuals that we can show our carriers. A lot of carriers are used to just seeing the data in an Excel format, so having the visuals elevated their experience with us.

Cons

Tableau can be a little tedious and has a less intuitive program than other systems. Once you overcome the learning curve it is a great system.

My overall experience with Tableau remain good in terms of gaining a lot of knowledge on creating visualisations, making various types of charts for different types of data dimensions etc. Tableau gave me a start to my journey into data analyst and has enabled me to dive into huge datasets and create useful and meaningful charts on the data according to the requirements and also to improve my visualisations with time. In other words I learnt what type of chart is suitable for what type of data, how to show performance, efficiency as concept and also tableau provides a huge online community, resources and tools for supporting and developing various types of dashboards through tableau community.

Pros

Pro:
A) Data Visualisation Capabilities - great tool for data visualisation
B) self explanatory and intuitive
C) advanced tools provides
D) huge variety of visualisations can be created
E) ease of using large excel file and Combining them to use for visualisation
F) drag and drop features
G) story

Cons

Does not have much of cons but listing them as much as I know:
A) bit tricky when it come to work with date and time functions
B) some specific charts not available
C) cannot write sql queries directly into tableau
No statistical analysis possible
Sometime it is difficult to operate and navigate through calculated fields

I found it comfortable to use, the only notable drawback is its support which is paid. But the rest is very remarkable.

Pros

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".

Cons

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 use tableau to analyze data, create dashboards and report the inisghts taken from them. The major benefit is the freedom that you have to create any type of way you want to analyze your data and how interactive it can be to give you the best view/analysis you need for your business.

Pros

What I like the most is the fact that tableau is able to generate almost any type of dashboard in order to analyze data in a very easy and interactive way. It gives freedom for the employee to not only analyze the data in given dashboards but also to create their own with their tech team. Which increases ways of seeing the data, analyzing and reporting.

Cons

Since its a considerable amount of data that I use in my case, sometimes tableau "laggs" a bit and it doesn´t load very quickly. I think that would be the only downside of tableau in my perspective.

Cons

Love it's capabilities. Wish it was easier for me to manipulate. I have to rely on a couple team members who are way more experienced in it than I am to create anything new.

Pros

Great visualization capabilities helps me see how I am doing compared to this year's goals on multiple objectives and how we are doing year over year...without having to manipulate the raw data on my own. Being able to have Tableau refresh the data source with the most recent info each time I open the dashboard is so important!

Cons

Takes awhile and a lot of practice to understand how to set up the worksheets so they answer the questions you are looking to answer. Dashboards are more so.
