Tableau is amazing software that has greatly aided our data analysis efforts. Tableau meets all of our needs for data analysis and dashboard creation. The nicest element is that direct use of ad hoc data needs is possible, with no dependencies.
Pros
One of the most useful features of Tableau is the flexibility with which its dashboards may be filtered. Information that is simple to understand, demonstrate, and infer. Any group may quickly and simply extract useful data thanks to a drag-and-drop interface.
Cons
Data syncing problems can cause the dashboards to malfunction. Notifications about impending outages would be greatly appreciated. however, that shouldn't be a deal breaker.

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.

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).

Data exploration on steroids.
Reviewed on 12/05/2024
Pros
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.
Cons
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.

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

We use Tableau as our data vis and reporting tool organisation wide. We pool data into our data lake from various sources and then pull into Tableau to create min-dashboards which track team level KPI's / objectives and then roll up into a organisation wide dashboard.
Pros
Very powerful tool. We implement organisation wide and that has created consistency in approach and understanding. Very little tech knowledge needed to create a dashboard and if data is not available we have a workflow to the team who can investigate/solve this.
Cons
I am not a tech person, however when we first adopted we had a real struggle pulling some of our existing data into the tool. We had to amend some of our organisational and system processes to ensure we were able to achieve the outputs we desired from the tool. This was teething pain however and therefore not a prolonged issue.

Essential for project KPIs and management
Reviewed on 02/01/2024
Pros
Visualisation and ease of automized dashboard creation. It was simple to connect it to other tools and it connected and consolidated everything in one place.
Cons
The inputs had to be very exact in order for the outputs to be correct. Sometimes this made consolidation challenging. Uniformity was required across all inputs and sources.

For the few years I have now interacted with tableau in a class environment I really can't wait to get out there and use it's dynamic features for business intelligence. It comes with soo many features that I am sure would help any business deeply analyze market data that will help them gain the tricks, visualize and predict on the business trajectory and avoid most risks before they happen
Pros
To be honest I have only used tableau in a classrooms setup for learning purposes. In my course there is a unit referred to Actuarial Modelling where we are deep data management and that is where I get to interact with Tableau. There is alot of features I appreciate about it. For me it didn't take me long to familiarize with it .Creating a dashboard is soo engaging and it's UX is straightforward. Accessing it from my mobile phone gives me the convenience of doing my data analysis assignment even away from school. On functionalities, it connect with data sources especially Excel CSV which is our main data harbor. From there I can now I can clean the data, use the bin function to categoriesit for simplified analysis, visualize it and descriptively explain the insights data in a natural language. Tableau also allows me to make prediction using the statistical elements such as the mean, mode, quartiles etc on likeliness of certain events in reference to the data Iam using.
Cons
For novices it will take you time to unravel the complexity of Tableau to be able to enjoy each and every feature for deep analytics. But when you get to learn it, trust me you will like it

Best data visualization tool out there
Reviewed on 29/12/2023
Pros
The fact that Tableau supports practically all connectors, including Teradata, Bigquery, Salesforce, SAP, Snowflake, and others, is one of its finest features. Furthermore, it can produce and support a wide variety of chart kinds, such as pie, donut, map, and Sankey charts. I am capable of creating engrossing dashboards that tell tales to inspire my audience.
Cons
Tableau can be costly for individual users or small enterprises due to the high licensing prices associated with Tableau Desktop.

Great data visualization software
Reviewed on 02/03/2024
Pros
One of the best data visualization software out there. It can collect data from a variety of sources, and then create beautiful reports and dashboards out of it. Almost every data person I know swears by Tableau for its feature depth and functionality.
Cons
Learning curve can be steep for advanced functionality. Since tableau has existed for a long time, the UI hasn't improved very much.
