The usability of Tableau really is second-to-none. While with any Business Intelligence tool you're going to have a learning curve, the main barrier to getting value from BI tools tends to be the steepness of the learning curve. Many BI tools have all the capabilities you'd need, but because there's never enough time to properly learn the tool, I'd argue most BI features wind up as 'shelfware'.
Tableau Desktop, however, has an elegant simplicity that makes it easier to come up the learning curve and start performing more advanced analyses more quickly. That was the main factor driving our decision. The reasonable pricing and very helpful sales process were added bonuses.

It was easy to start mucking around with the product using their full blown demo license. Tableau has an incredibly strong user reputation and the reasons for its wide adoption are very clear after using it for a very short time. Its become indispensible to my work.

Tableau's product features made the decision an easy one. We wanted more visualizations and no one does it as well. The users are very happy with the tool. I was amazed that there were 10000 users at the conference and all were talking about how wonderful the tool was.

Product usability was one of the biggest feature in selecting Tableau. Unlike Oracle's BI Solution that required IT help and days to create dashboards and publish those, with Tableau the users with minimal help had experience to publish their dashboards with their respective data sources within hours.
Users were able to create their own interactive sheets and publish those sheets for their teams to review the data. Along with the usability the price was also the factor in the decision.
