Tableau Reviews & Product Details

Because of the broad spectrum of out-of-the-box tools like Prep or Licensed Data Management, as well as the MANY integrations with popular (or not-so-popular) third party tools, Tableau can seamlessly integrate into any workflow, regardless of how complex, old school, minimal, or basic your data pipeline might be.

Additionally, the community of users is a built-in support network for your analysts. If you don’t have an in-house expert on a particular topic, community user groups, and the new slack workspace are great ways to find insight on how to approach different topics.

There isn’t much to dislike. When you are completely integrated with Tableau, down servers or other tech hiccups can really halt your workflow, but that is the case with any tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tableau has the best blend of drag and drop ease and advanced analytics features. A non-technical person with clean data can build a dashboard with almost not experiencing. An experienced analyst with a good understanding of design and SQL can create apps that no similar tool can compete with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Salesforce is dragging Tableau down by attaching a bunch of anchors to it. They've added a lot of new features with bad naming conventions that muddle up a great tool. Tableau pulse, tableau agent, tableau + are all interesting concepts but they should focus on making dashboard rather than making things tangential to making dashboards.

Is perfect to organize the data and find opportunities in the bussiness, splitting the segments of the company and finding trend in the data, duplicating the "good" patterns to continue that improvement, and changing the "bad" patterns to correct that we are not doing well.

Myself , in my current role as controller for finance and IT at LMW Limited, feel that Tableau honestly is one of the best tools I’ve used for data visualization and analytics.

The way it lets you drag and drop elements to build interactive dashboards without writing complex SQL queries is a game changer for both technical and business users.

Although I have used Power BI , Altrix in Earlier companies, Tableau is Way easy and convenent for data visulation, Integration with Database, ERP.

Implemtaion and integration is Quite Smooth and We can ealiy link up larger database to get Dashboards for daily usage.

The interaction with Stakeholders for meeting at regular frequency is much smooter with Tablue wherein you can do real time data crunching, Tabluation and Graphical Display in click of second .

From a functional side, it helps me convert raw data into meaningful insights super fast. The dashboards are not just static but highly interactive, making it conveninet to explore data without needing deep coding skills.

Tableau integrates well with multiple data sources like Excel, databases, and cloud platforms, so I don’t have to worry much about compatibility. I have used in integration with Oracle 10, SAP HANA.

From a tech side, its performance is solid when working with structured data. Query execution and visualization speed is good as long as you optimize your datasets well. And the ability to use calculated fields and LOD expressions gives enough flexibility to perform advanced data analysis.

The only thing is, it does take some time to master if you want to get into deeper analytics, but once you get the hang of it, it’s totally worth it.

Overall, I Think that Tableau bridges the gap between business and technical users very well by making data analysis more accessible to everyone in the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being a long time user of Tableau and decision maker in finalisaton and Selection of Tablue, I can say that it is great, but not perfect.

one of the things that frustrates me is its pricing —it’s quite expensive, especially for small businesses. If you need multiple users with full access, costs add up really quick.

The sharing options feel a bit limited compared to other BI tools like power BI, Alteryx that have more open collaboration.

From a technical side of it , performance can slow down when working with very large datasets. If the data source isn’t optimized, queries take longer to load and dashboards lag. Extracting data helps but that’s an extra step that not everyone wants to deal with.

Basic visualizations are easy, but when you get into LOD expressions, table calculations, or complex joins, it’s not as beginner-friendly.

Looking from overall stand point of view, Tableau is powerful but needs better cost flexibility, performance improvements and easier sharing options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

best tools for data visualization, offering a highly intuitive drag-and-drop interface. The ability to integrate with multiple data sources and generate interactive dashboards makes it a powerful choice for businesses of all sizes. Its real-time data processing and extensive library of charts and graphs enhance data-driven decision-making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

t has a steep learning curve for beginners. Some advanced functionalities require knowledge of scripting or calculated fields, which can be challenging for non-technical users. Additionally, the pricing structure can be expensive for small businesses, and the desktop version lacks some cloud-based collaboration features found in competitors like Power BI.

One of the best things about Tableau is how intuitive and user-friendly it is, even for people who aren't data experts.

I also really like how seamlessly it connects to a wide variety of data sources, which makes blending data and staying updated much simpler.

One downside of Tableau is that it can get expensive, especially for small teams or individual users. Also, while it's user-friendly for basic visualizations, more advanced features—like complex calculations or custom scripting—can have a steep learning curve. Performance can also lag with very large datasets unless the underlying data is well-optimized. Lastly, version compatibility issues sometimes arise when sharing workbooks between different Tableau versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
