No - Basically, Tableau has very good and active user community and any question are answered very quickly. Multiple times i had situations where i had to post on tableau community about my issues and community users were so active that I got 2-3 answers within 2 hrs.

No - Haven't gotten there. As the rest of the review reflects, I'm a fan of their online support systems including members of their user forums. As a new user, I was never given the RTFM treatment even to some basic questions. Other customers jumped in to help me with my specific issues quickly.

About Tableau Desktop

Tableau Desktop aims to allow people to make data-driven decisions with confidence, by helping them answer questions more quickly, solve harder problems more easily, and uncover new insights more frequently.
