Tableau is currently being used in several different departments to display trending data related to patient safety and status, financial and claims highlights, tracking patterns related to inpatient flow through the hospital. The flexibility of data sources and display options had made it a popular tool for analysts in financial and clinical areas.

Tableau dashboarding experience
We used Tableau [Desktop] to create dashboards of our product marketing strategy's outcome and analyze their performance. In one dashboard we would narrow down on 3-4 metrics to track their performance, ingest the data in excel sheets, prepare the data and then create visualization dashboards. The graphics of Tableau [Desktop] and ease of use made it easier for everyone in the team understands the dashboard and provides good insights.

Tableau [Desktop] is used across the entire organization and in my specific case, I am using it for quarterly monitoring. It has been a fairly good tool to use once you have the graphs set up and for monitoring you just need to provide the data in the requested format to update.

Tableau Desktop: one of the best BI tools
It was tested as one of the candidates for choosing the Business Intelligence solution. major needs we were expecting to be addressed were the ability to produce BI reports, dashboards on the fly and be able to provide real-time data and stats to our large base of users. Another important aspect was the cost of implementation and usage.
Tableau touches every department within our organization, and also serves as the analytics platform for customer-facing data analysis needs. Clinical data, financial data, human capital metrics, and productivity data are all visualized and understood using Tableau Desktop. Tableau Desktop is able to blend data from multiple sources, making it a robust analytics platform for companies that have a need to tie underlying data together from disparate systems in order to understand trends and opportunities for improvement.

Tableau Desktop is being used across the organization as our main Dashboard reporting tool. We, as department create tableau reports, which are then accessed and used by the organization as a whole. The main problem it addresses is providing accurate, on-time reporting on our KPIs, which users can filter on to just get the data they need.

Expensive, but good
The whole organization is using Tableau as a front end. We are trying to have updated insights to accelerate decisions. It is no longer enough nor it is feasible in the long term to have people working constantly on excel graphics and PowerPoint presentations. Tableau is a good way to have reliable insights and set the work efforts where they should be.

Tableau Desktop Review
Tableau Desktop is being used across the organization for data analytics and visualization. In my area, we use Tableau Desktop to track program and project progress, resource utilization, demand and supply, estimation, and forecasting. I've been using Tableau Desktop for four years, and it helps me a lot in improving the efficiency of the team and productivity and to keep an eye on resource demand. What I like about Tableau Desktop are its frequent updates based on user feedback and great community support for query resolution and learning. You can connect almost every data source with it, be it .csv, flat file, SQL, cloud platform, or another source. Tableau Desktop provides great flexibility of joins and blending of data and easy-to-create visualization.

Good for a lone wolf
We used Tableau to analyze billing and pushed through several million dollars that were stuck because it wasn't visible to management until I created the Viz. We also analyzed quality and security.
