It is suitable for companies without a proper data warehouse. He does very well in sales analysis and KPI management. It builds mini data warehouses, is good at data fusion, and interfaces well with other systems. Also, the export function and filter can greatly help you to get only the information you want in the format you want.

Tableau public is the best platform to build dashboards for your personal profile and share with recruiters. It's always good to keep ourselves updated on the latest features, create sample dashboards and save them to a personal profile. Tableau public is free and doesn't need any subscription. anyone can create an account and start building reports.

  • Coding is also simple and can be learned easily.
  • It is my favorite because it shows how mathematical models are used in real life.

Tableau
  • Data visualization: lots of different options, including bar, scatter, pie, waterfall charts to explore relationships between variables, and to present findings/trends to different teams
  • Integrates readily with limited, though different data sources: TXT, CSV, TDE, Access
  • Exports reports for review of different dashboards: client-ready/team-ready, with a clean and tidy presentation in PDF format (or hardcopy)

Cons

  • You have to make sure that the information thrown makes sense and is well organized.
  • There is a risk when saving information in the cloud from computer attacks

  • Tableau Public (both Desktop and Server) like their "for a fee" counterparts offer very easy to learn and use tools to transform data into pictures and gain insights into your data. Most organizations report a reduction in development time of 10x vs. other similar tools, due to the intuitive user interface. That said, with Tableau Public, published workbooks are "disconnected" from the underlying data sources and require periodic updates when the data changes. Users are limited to 1 Gb of storage space per user ID and password as well.
  • I would like to see better options for public sharing of visualizations and data from within the "for a fee" products as more and more organizations are moving in the direction of data sharing with partners and their communities.

It's free, right? I'll keep using the free version. So the real question to ask is this? Will I pay $999 for the Personal version or $1,999 for the Professional? Yikes! That is a big stretch. I'm not sure about that. The product comparison chart is at: http://www.tableausoftware.com/public/comparison

We can easily provide the information that the user wants and customize it according to their needs. Sometimes a certain report can be used as the basis for creating another one that saves you time to deliver critical information in the shortest amount of time with the best results. Builds mini data warehouses, is good at data fusion, and interfaces well with other systems.

Tableau public is a great training tool to understand the basics of Tableau before buying it. A great tool to extend Excel's visualization and to publish data for others. Not useful for anything you need secure. No ability to access databases. Static information only.

I love how easy it is to create prototypes due to its simple simulation and modeling system. Other than that, the codes are usually simple and not very complex and it's built-in debugging adds to that ease. is an excellent tool for analyzing, classifying, and visualizing data. I do this most of the time to help me grab huge collections of data.

I found it sufficient, and fast. I could easily "kick the tires" with Tableau on my data so I got up and running fast.

Start at the end and work backward. Identify the business case / issue and questions the end users have, then identify the data needed, and where to get it.

Google Charts/Drive is sufficient for simpler data sets, but it does not integrate with other web platforms and the visualization does not look as professional. I'm not aware of any other competitors that offer the same package as Microsoft.
