Tableau offer accurate insights that amplifies business outcomes." — 5.0/5 > **James** | *15 April 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Tableau offers premium analytics features which makes it easy to acquire all the useful insights we ever need to drive our business forward. It allows us to have a clear view of our business activities making it easy to evaluate our business performances. Tableau also has made it easy for us to discover which aspects of our business are not performing well and needs improvement. It uses user-friendly dashboards that give very clear visualizations of our data making it easy for us to read and understand them. Tableau offers super advanced data protection features allowing us to explore all our business data without affecting their security status. > > **Cons**: Me and my teammates has never had a thing to complain about Tableau. We find it very comfortable to work with it and all the features are very responsive. > > We have been using Tableau to analyze various aspects of our business like marketing and am happy to report that our experience with Tableau has gone according to plan. We are benefitting greatly from its powerful analytics which supply us with insights on how to amplify our business outcomes. Tableau has ensured that we always have all the right insights at hand before making any decisions which ensures that we always make the right decision. ----- ### "Data Visualization Platform of this Era" — 5.0/5 > **Akeem** | *10 August 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Tableau combines data visualization and business intelligence capabilities that help centralize data from a wide array external sources to one central repository when making business decisions. > > **Cons**: Tableau highly depends on data quality by collecting data from external sources which sometimes can offer inaccurate results if data is incomplete or inconsistent. ----- ### "Amazing for data analysis and exploration, not great for dashboards" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *14 September 2022* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Tableau allows for very good exploratory data analysis, and one can build amazing visualizations with it. Once you learn how to work with it, it becomes very easy to explore data and get insights from it. > > **Cons**: Tableau is very expensive compared to its competitors, and if you want to get the whole company using it for dashboards, the pricing is certainly prohibitive for startups. I also don't Tableau for Dashboards, as the discovery and navigation interface is not very inviting to business users and dashboards are hard do discover. At the same time, building dashboards on Tableau is a lot less straightforward than in other tools. One can build very advanced dashboards, but that requires a lot of time and expertise, which not all Data users in a company will be. > > At my team we use Tableau as a data exploration tool for data practitioners, and not for dashboards and data reporting to the company. This setup takes advantage of what Tableau does best and don't use it for what it doesn't. Tableau as a data reporting and dashboard tool may be suited for more traditional organizations, with a lot of experienced BI personnel who can take the time to build good dashboards with it. ----- ### "Visualizing success with Tableau" — 5.0/5 > **Olivier** | *13 August 2025* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The platform becomes very easy to use once you get used to it, and can be effective to share dashboards between team and helps to show sales and price data in a format easier to understand, what I like the most is that it has the ability to handle big amounts of data easily. > > **Cons**: I noticed that some features that are more advanced like Server and Tableau Prep definitely need a long learning and more configuration. ----- ### "A Manager's Perspective" — 5.0/5 > **Chris** | *16 October 2025* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the wide scope of reporting that Tableau offers. It can be something as simple and as forward as needed, or it can be something that really dives deep into our business insights and trends. As a manager, it really hones in on where exactly we stand, where we are trending, and how we can improve/move on from lost opportunities. > > **Cons**: It can be a little slow in loading reports depending on the size and range of the reporting. Oftentimes I sit and wait a few minutes for a report to generate if its a larger report. > > My experience has been great. I use tableau daily to help me figure out trends and who our business is seeking to partner with. Similarly, and arguably more importantly, it provides insights into who we should be targeting and/or haven't targeted yet. ----- Page: 1 / 95\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/90797/tableau-software?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/90797/tableau-software) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
