Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why.
Tableau was being used as a front-end dashboard within my team. It was connected with the database which showed daily sales figures. I built several dashboards for the team, which helped the team answer complex business questions such as daily sales, YoY trends, etc. As of now, it was being used only in my team but was planning to execute and deliver across the organization.
- Tableau has a clean layout and is super friendly in creating custom dashboards.
- The option to create custom formulas using calculated fields is really helpful.
- It is super easy to connect Tableau with a data source.
- Sometimes it becomes a little difficult to handle null values, but that may be just user case scenario.
- More options to represent data should be provided.
- Tableau Online does not provide me with an option to sort out with top function. Again, that maybe just user case scenario.
We currently use Tableau Online within our Digital Marketing department. It is mainly utilized to give us the most accurate lead and sale counts. We have also used it quite a bit for credit pass reports. Tableau Online allows us to track sale data and to analyze which campaigns need improvement and where we should focus our time. It allows us to forecast numbers.
- Gives accurate reports
- Reports in real time
- Has multiple metrics to review
- Lag time is often bothersome
- When filtering by date, the dates get mixed up easily
- Filtering in general can be annoying
Tableau Online is integrated in our web analysis tool for analysis of incidents, defects within the organization. It provides excellent KPI graphics executive summary. It used across all organization. The data visualization and analysis is awesome. Customization of report is very easy for end user. It can also give the summary of data visualization of live data.
- Multiple data source connections.
- High performance.
- Excellent visualization capabilities.

Tableau is being utilized as a platform to centralize Vivint's lead, sale and install data. Custom dashboards are built to display conversion rates and other call center metrics that are critical for key stakeholders to be aware of. We often leverage their automation-related features to send out daily e-mails with reports for specific marketing campaigns.
- Their dashboards are easy to navigate and customize.
- The drill-down capabilities are intuitive.
- Their integrations with other mainstream solutions are quite good.
- I'd love to see Tableau continue building out their knowledge base.
- I wish Tableau didn't automatically refresh reports because it causes the default date range to be reinstated.
- I'd like to see Tableau continue building out its integrations with other prominent third party solutions.

Our entire organization is using Tableau and it's helping us all unify our goals, benchmarks, and direct our daily and monthly focus based on what our numbers are.

- Easy to use
- Easy to understand
- Easy to share
- Sometimes the charts don't refresh themselves and we have to manually refresh them.

Tableau is used to track all user data metrics. This helps in being able to find power users, find new opportunities for the sales team, understand use-cases within our client base, and overall understand any given account. Tableau is bringing insights to the sales team daily. We can attribute a huge percentage of our growth to Tableau data.
- It handles large amounts of information.

Tableau is our primary tool to organize our data, we have created hundreds of dashboards and views, and we rely on the tool daily. It is used by all of our Executive, Revenue and Marketing, and Product Teams. It provides us constant insight into our revenue, the number of bookings, marketing campaign performance, and we can look into any granular details we might need to know.
- Ability to create very detailed, complex dashboards, giving a comprehensive overview of the selected data.
- Ability to define numerous, complex filters that work together, allowing us to utilize a single report or dashboard for many different purposes.
- Easy to organize the dashboards and views, the search is powerful.
- Copying and exporting the data is difficult. Working online with the tool is great, but getting the data out of Tableau is inconvenient.
- Editing the dashboards is quite complex, we have a dedicated team who needs to manage these as most users are unable to do so.
- In cases of complex a dashboard, filtering can take a while, refreshing of data is quite slow.

The analytics department in my company uses Tableau for its daily/monthly/Annual reports. It is a terrific data visualization tool that helps our users visualize data as and when required, without many complications. Trend analysis and forecasting is a key to using this software, and this is where it comes in very handy. All the data metrics are accurately tracked. It provides powerful data insights. All the heads of different teams use Tableau daily. It is particularly useful when there is data integration with other software required. It also offers a layer of visualization that is superior to traditional Microsoft products.
- Tableau offers a layer of visualization that is superior to traditional Microsoft products.
- It provides out of the box data visualization tools, and the opportunity to customize these views for business use.
- Extensive data source support/seamless data import.
- Easy implementation of enterprise-level security and access with integration with AD Groups.
- Tableau Online could improve its mobile interface, which requires training, and lags when trying to import large files.
- Tableau could have a feature such that workbooks that are connected to live data sources could refresh automatically instead of having to publish from the desktop every time you want updated figures.
- Limitations can be frustrating if you are used to using the Desktop version.

When looking for a way to display reporting and analytics in a graphically pleasing and easy to understand way, we came across the Tableau software. We have implemented it in a few different departments across our organization to be used for various tasks. So far, it has solved the problem of presenting confusing, intensive reporting, and providing an outlet to present it in a way that's easy to digest.
- Tableau Online offers companies a way to display data in a visually-appealing way.
- Visualizations created by Tableau in the form of dashboards and worksheets make presenting complex data easy.

- The ability Tableau has to share and collaborate with team members via the cloud, makes it easy to collaborate across our organization - as well as with our clients.

- Tableau Online could add some variations of template options for reporting displays.

Tableau Online is the bridge between our data teams and the business and product teams. 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. We also use it as the front-end to our in-house sales commission system. Sales reps log in to Tableau Online and can track their performance and commission.
- It has been very easy for us to connect various data sources to Tableau Online, such as data from Treasure Data, Google Sheets, Redshift, and custom CSVs.
- 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. I have personally been to three Tableau conferences and felt like I needed a year of owning our company's Tableau creator license to feel comfortable and deliver powerful insight for our company.
- The UI available to edit dashboards could improve to be more friendly and modern. It sometimes feels like you are operating in a very rigid environment when editing dashboards in Tableau Online.
- The options to organize a company's dashboards and assign permissions are also not straightforward and the solutions I am aware of leave me wishing there was more.

We had a use case where we developed some visualization and onshore management wanted to see it. We were having Tableau Desktop licensed till that time and we were of the impression that Online is free or we will get a couple of licenses if we want. But Tableau Online has bundled licensed in order to get view from anywhere.
Management has decided to invest into it and now we are using Tableau Online situation in order to see and share reports online which will be definitely beneficial for a organization to take important decisions.
Tableau is the one of the best solution in industry now. We are fully utilizing its capabilities.

Tableau is the one of the best solution in industry now. We are fully utilizing its capabilities.
- Can be accessed from anywhere with same set of reports shared between licensed users.
- It's very useful when presenting something and wanted to share. As a developer perspective we can work and visualize things accordingly.
- Without this online solution Tableau is nothing and hence they are charging more for online solution than desktop versions.
- Licensing cost is the major concern and you have to take 100 at a time though you need 2 or 3 only.
Originally, my company purchased Tableau Desktop which I believe became Tableau Creator or something similar. This new version included Online as well as the old Desktop features. Our intention was to use Online to display non-sensitive dashboards with the clients. We moved away from Online to Datorama for easier sharing with the client.
- Work distribution.
- Browser editing capabilities.
- Collaboration.
- It can be slow.
- Not ideal for sensitive data.
- Initial set-up with Desktop not super intuitive.

- An aesthetically pleasing way to aggregate multiple data sources in one place.

- It can be laggy compared to Desktop version.
- Limitations can be frustrating if you are used to using the Desktop version.

It started as a tool for Finance and Accounting to use to build and publish reports and dashboards to help track our budget. Now that we are up and running, we have been pushing out the use of it to other departments, encouraging users to be more proactive in monitoring their financials.
- Great resource for consolidating and organizing reports across the organization.
- Can be accessed without having knowledge about how to use Tableau Desktop.
- Great complement to Desktop to allow for visuals to be accessed anywhere, anytime.
- Could have a feature that workbooks that are connected to live data sources could refresh automatically instead of having to publish from desktop everytime you want updated figures.

- Easy to use
- Customizable
- Integration with other software
- Requires training

Tableau Online is used across our whole business. It has become our one source of the truth and always tells a consistent, near-live story of exactly how our business is behaving.
- Gives a consistent, single version of truth across the company.
- Is managed to give the picture as-of midnight each day.
- Is intuitive and dynamic, relieving the pressure on the BI team (me!)
- Occasionally there are in-depth analytical problems that it can't stretch to.
- Graph types are limited to be correct, but occasionally you'll want to hack them or make them more involved, which is limited.

Tableau Online is used to share and collaborate on workbooks created or generated by Tableau Desktop. In Tableau Online, you do not have to worry about hardware specifications, you simply buy the license and use it in a browser. All of the background hardware is maintained by Tableau. It is completely adapted to our organization. We have 3 sites in Tableau online for each department so that our data is not shared between the departments.
- Scalability- If you want to increase the number of users, it can be done without any hardware replacement or update.
- Flexibility- Since is maintained by Tableau, it can be adapted to any environment.
- In Tableau Online, the risk is less compared to Tableau Server.
- Data source: It doesn't support many databases to run a direct query in it.
- Downtime will be very frequent [twice or three times per month] based on the region you deploy.
- Some of the configurations cannot be done as per your choice.

Our analytics consulting team uses Tableau Online for many of our client projects. We are a boutique data analytics consulting firm who specializes in advising clients on how to achieve their analytics goals as well as creating and implementing customized data visualization tools, and BI best practices. Tableau is usually an application that we will have clients consider, as it is considered a leader in the marketplace.
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 very easy to use, and even the most intimidated, least tech-savvy customers tend to grow excited when using Tableau. 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.
