It is our primary visualization tool that sits on top of our data sources which we consider our sources of truth. The primary way it adds value is giving us a lot of tools to present different types of data in ways that various type of business stakeholders can best understand and use it.

Tableau Online's interface is easy to use as a bridge between data teams and other stakeholders who primarily consume data insights and reporting. It is easy to publish dashboards that users can log on to and see and interact with.
Tableau, generally speaking, has calculations and other types of data manipulations available which can scale with your own business questions' complexity. It has been great to learn more about Tableau's functionality and find out that we can answer more complex questions we weren't able to answer before by using things they have available such as level of detail functions, order of operation filtering, and data prep.,I believe being a skilled creator and an adept user in Tableau Online is not straightforward. It takes time and there is a learning curve.

Tableau Online is one of my favorite applications in our toolbox and I thoroughly enjoy showing our clients how powerful it can be to get them started.

It is powerful, easy to load data into, it is compatible with many sources, feature-rich, and packaged up behind a super-slick UI.

- Compatible with many data sources.
- Easy to use, easy to learn - with a slick UI.
- Feature-rich, especially in the geo-analytic area. Lots of charts with customizable options.
- Tech-support widgets or web-agents would be helpful. Because the tool is so feature-rich, it is not always easy to identify where the seemingly-endless list of features exists.
- The price of Tableau over-all can be high depending on the needs of your organization and the purchase model.
- The out-of-box color schemes and options could be more dynamic, but this is my personal preference.

It's a fine software
It's being used primarily to review daily sales statistics, and email capture performance. It's used primarily within the marketing department although the entire organization has access and uses it occasionally.
- The data is accurate.
- The interface is clean and easy to read.
- Lots of customization for the end-user.
- Statistics don't update in real-time.
- Significant lag whenever a variable is updated.
- Dollar figures are rounded.

- Maintenance and housekeeping of the server instance is easy and can come with support.
- Tableau Online could improve its mobile interface

Tableau Online Review
At our agency, Tableau is used by our analytics team to analyze client data, evaluate their account performance, derive key insights for optimization, and tailor reports.

- Lacks report scheduling/emailing feature

Tableau Online is a strong tool for data analysis
Tableau Online is being used by the organization to have a better grasp of our customers' interests, behaviors, spending trends and reading consumption habits. This addresses multiple business needs, across several business lines, to understand how customers interact with our information and content, especially defining the specific distribution channels and outlets that are most used, as well as the cross-collaboration between print, digital, events, GIS and research.
- Tableau Online makes it easy to visualize raw data into easy-to-understand charts and graphs.
- Tableau Online allows me to connect to and access our data from anywhere, not having to rely on the application only running on a local machine.
- Tableau Online allows us to provide meaningful material, regarding data, internally and externally, where necessary, at a moment's notice.
- One downside of being online is that you're required to be connected to update data. This connectivity isn't always applicable - airplanes, subway, etc.
- An automatic connection between Tableau Online and Tableau Desktop, with bi-directional sync, would be a great addition to the platform.
- Having training material, that's more aligned with our business goals, would be ideal.

Digital Agency Experience with Tableau
We use Tableau Online within our analytics team. It helps us take large data sets and parse out trends and insights. It also offers a layer of visualization that is superior to traditional Microsoft products.
- Easily connects to sources of data, whether they be stored in databases, excel files or even web analytics tools like Google Analytics.
- Provides out of the box data visualization tools and the opportunity to customize these views for business use.
- Makes data filtering and segmentation easy to conduct.
- Takes some time to onboard.
- User interface is not straight forward.
- Could expand data connections to other web analytics APIs beyond Google Analytics.

Tableau: more than just pretty tables
It is a software, amongst others, offered by some departments for data sharing, visualization and promoting collaborations.

- Real-time interaction with the data.
- Pretty expensive
- Inability for scripting could sometimes be a handicap

A positive review of Tableau Online
We have started to use this software to better report business analytical data that we need to make decisions in the business. It is being used by different departments in the company. It also helps with data visualization. We have better access to the data that we need to make the decisions we need to make.
- Data Visualization.
- Drill down into the data.
- Data exporting.
- You need to be decently technical to make reports.
- The average user can view reports but not create them.
- It would be nice if the user could look at different views without needing to publish so many different reports.

Tableau review
Tableau is being used by our organization in various departments. The main use of Tableau is to demonstrate Dashboards from different areas of the company to understand trends. The dashboards are used for GAP analysis and forecasting. Information is viewed very easily and gives a holistic view of the situation/historical data. Tableau plays a very important role in management meetings and conference meetings. Data is integrated from various data sources to create meaningful reports.
- Very nice dashboards that have a great visual design.
- Great integration capabilities with other programs and languages.
- Helps perform GAP analysis for management meetings and a single page snapshot to give meaning to data.
- Tableau is very expensive and the pricing is inflexible. It is catered more towards large organizations and cannot be flexibly used by mid-size firms.
- After sales support is not up to the mark.
- Versioning is not great when you upgrade the software. This is a very simple possible improvement. IT security is not up to the mark when we ran results by attacking the software. Sometimes IT support is required when you upgrade.

Tableau Online - Leader in Cloud-Based Analytics
It is being used across our organization, wherever cloud applications are being used. We use it primarily with Salesforce for CRM, and with Workday for HR. It addresses the infrastructure-related challenges in other business units that occur due to on-prem Tableau.
- Hassle free, as it is on the cloud
- Works as a log for individual or departmental work
- Easy to share knowledge
- Access Control & Sharing...maybe a setup similar to Google Docs would help
- Some basic editing functionality would help, as some improvements are thought of AFTER publishing on Tableau Online
- Really difficult in terms of dashboard, with few cloud & on-prem data extracts

Tableau online: easy to use and report
We use Tableau for reporting primarily to Execs for projects and financials. It's also used by our Product department for analyzing product changes, and to track how people are using our system. It's primarily used by the product department and IT, but is starting to make its way into other departments as we expand it.
- Easy to understand dashboards, really good for managers and execs
- Easy to create dashboards once you have the right data
- UI layout for creating new dashboard is good
- Formatting dashboards is a little technical, a more user friendly version would be nice
- Ability to export reports out to other formats
- More color and options would be good
