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.,9,7,9Martin HawTableau Online Review2018-12-24T15:46:20.171ZAt 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.,Powerful and user-friendly data visualization
Extensive data source support/Seamless data import
Interactive reports,Expensive for small businesses and individuals
Custom formatting is a feature currently missing and would be great to add
Lacks report scheduling/emailing feature,10,Microsoft Power BI, SAS Business Intelligence and SAS Advanced Analytics,8,4Ali ZakeriShare and Collaborate with Tableau Online2019-06-09T17:45:07.188ZTableau 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.,8,Tableau Server,8,8,Tableau Prep, Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Azure, Tableau Public, Alteryx Analytics GalleryKanthesh MALLESHTableau: more than just pretty tables2019-03-02T01:50:47.873ZIt is a software, amongst others, offered by some departments for data sharing, visualization and promoting collaborations.,Data visualization: a wide range of them available and pretty plots.
Drag and drop: no need for complex coding.
Real-time interaction with the data.,Pretty expensive
Inability for scripting could sometimes be a handicap,8,TIBCO Spotfire,9,8,TIBCO Spotfire, Microsoft Power BIVerified UserA positive review of Tableau Online2019-02-04T19:28:08.412ZWe 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.,9,9,9Verified UserTableau review2018-10-12T15:34:01.625ZTableau 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.,8,Sisense, Looker, QlikView, Zoho Reports, IBM Cognos, Infragistics ReportPlus, SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards and Microsoft Power BI,8,9,Sauce Labs, MS SharePoint, MS SharePoint / SQL, Quality Center (formerly HP Quality Center), IBM Cognos, TIBCO Spotfire, AWS Cloud9, Azure Search, Google Analytics, Google Search Console, ElasticsearchKruti VaidyaTableau Online is a strong tool for data analysis2018-11-01T22:17:53.266ZTableau 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.,10,Looker and Stitch,6,2,Arm Treasure Data, Salesforce Lightning, MarketoMark ChilesDigital Agency Experience with Tableau2018-11-30T17:37:26.967ZWe 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.,8,Google Data Studio,9,7,NetBase, Google Data Studio, Google AnalyticsMichelle BernardiniTableau Online is a Data Visualization Dream!2019-01-07T18:58:59.755ZOur 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.,10,Qlik Sense, QlikView, Alteryx Analytics and Microsoft Power BI,8,9,Qlik Sense, Microsoft Power BI, QlikView,20,3Verified UserTableau Online Helps Growing Tech Company Make Better Decisions!2018-09-10T17:04:58.349ZTableau Online is being leveraged by about 30% of the organizations across the company. It's primarily used today as a scalable and dynamic data visualization tool for complex data sets. By leveraging this software business analysts spend less time preparing graphs and charts and more time on thoughtful and impactful analysis. This can lead to better and more informed decision making across your company!,Software is compatible with numerous interfaces, making it quite scalable.
Robust visualization feature set -- perhaps even industry leading.
Graphs are dynamic and intuitive to use which helps organizations focus on what really matters -- making the right decision at the right time.
Intuitive user interface helps analysts quickly setup scalable reports.,More robust feature set -- its primarily a data visualization tool...hence you need other software to populate it.
More competitive pricing model -- the desktop / creator license can get expense fast so you need to be cautious of who has this user type.
Further ability to customize the application to fit your companies branding.,8,,9,8Verified UserTableau Online - Leader in Cloud-Based Analytics2018-09-11T18:34:16.429ZIt 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,10,Domo,8,6,SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) Platform, IBM Cognos, QlikViewVerified UserKing of Visualizations2018-03-02T21:11:25.771ZTableau Online is used by various departments in our company as interactive reports and dashboards which help the company make data-driven decisions as well as anomaly detection for our Dev Ops.,No local maintenance. This is in comparison to Tableau Server which requires local installation and maintenance. Getting upgraded to the new version of Tableau Online is automatic.
Most comprehensive data visualization software I've used.,Tableau has never been good at creating tabular workbooks like spreadsheets. This is not its selling point, but there's still a lot of people who are used to and expect this format.
Being able to send a non-interactive copy of a workbook to a large group of recipients (possibly people who don't have licenses) in Tableau has always required workarounds using the tableau command line tool. Hope there's a more straight-forward way of doing this.,7,7,6,Treasure Data, Amazon RedshiftRolando Bernabe TriboDashboards for scientific data2018-02-12T18:19:20.365ZWe used Tableau Online as a means of prototyping how dashboards could enhance our primary product offering.,Easily shared with others

Ability to integrate with other software,9,Sisense,8,9Keith BoyceGreat merchandising and analytics tool for retail companies2018-03-28T19:31:10.415ZTableau is currently used by our analytics and marketing team. I currently use it for merchandising purchases, it is a great tool to see what items are selling and what the inventory status is all in one. I have filters in the tool that are flexible to what I need and I'm able to merchandise our products online more efficiently.,What I love about Tableau is that I can filter items by SKU performance. We have tons of items that feature different colors and designs and I am able to see which option is selling the best and provide that information to our buying team.
Being able to see the currently available units, excess and inventory projections has saved me the time when it comes to picking which item I should feature when I am merchandising.
There are many filtering options within the tool so it is easy to personalize data and export results that you need.,I'm not sure if this is standard for everyone but our Tableau is updated twice a week so the information may not be the most up-to-date possible.
There's no search function in the tool which would help me a lot if I am seeking information about a specific item.
There are frequent software updates which require you to completely reinstall everything.,9,8,8,Monetate, PowerReviews, Information Builders WebFOCUS, JIRA SoftwareVerified UserFulfils all your basic BI requirements, slightly pricey, great visualisations!2018-03-28T15:32:08.046ZTableau Online is extensively used by the analytics and reporting team at my organisation. The reports generated using Tableau are shared (in an automated manner) with teams spanning various verticals across the entire organisation. Tableau fulfills a critical use case for the analytics team - allowing us to monitor data and deliver quick insights.,For a business that executes frequent data-driven decisions, Tableau can be very helpful.
The visualisation options offered on Tableau are simply brilliant.
One can choose between Tableau Online and Tableau Desktop. Using Tableau Online waives users of the responsibility of maintenance at their end.,Sharing reports to users / business folk who do not use Tableau themselves can be challenging.
While the visualisation options are great, Tableau seems to let go of simple Excel-like features. Having a combination of both would be far more powerful.
Integration with other softwares could be better.,8,Amazon Redshift and Microsoft Power BI,7,8,Microsoft Power BI, Salesforce App CloudVerified UserTableau online: easy to use and report2018-07-14T18:21:26.436ZWe 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,9,JIRA Software,9,10,JIRA Service Desk, JIRA Software, Atlassian ConfluenceVerified UserGet what you pay for2018-01-17T18:44:32.935ZWe are using Tableau to visualise trends in our time-series datasets to track the impact of our projects. The product is mostly being used by our Experience Design team to investigate whether or not various projects are reaching their design goals. In the past, we made assumptions about the effectiveness of our products and services; however with Tableu and more data-driven approaches we can drill down on our datasets to test these assumptions. The resulting visualisations can be used to demonstrate project status, impact goals, and campaign interventions to key stakeholders.,Handles time-series data extremely well, so that correlations can be drawn from different events
Well-suited for visualising queries from data warehouses such as AWS RedShift
Attractive, slick visualisations,Would be nice to see better support for cleaning and consolidating heterogeneous data sources
It is possible to restrict access to a data table on a per-record (row) basis, but not possible to restrict access to data on a per-column basis
Steep learning curve for people who aren't from a data science background,8,8,8,BambooHR, Atlassian Confluence, OktaVerified UserTableau Usage Review2018-02-07T18:56:22.938ZIt is used in the Analytics department. It helps to visualize the data much better.,Amazing visualization

Good integration with R & Hadoop,Should be as simple as Excel so that the person with no IT training can use
Not comfortable with the security
Costly,9,TIBCO Spotfire,9,9,Microsoft Power BI, TIBCO SpotfireVerified UserTableau is great, but pricey for entire organization2017-12-07T23:48:03.094ZTableau is being used on a departmental basis, but I'm seeing it increasingly rolled out across orgs. It's a bit pricey so I think that's where the hesitation has been in adopting company-wide.,Consolidated real-time reporting
Good visuals (charts, graphs, etc.)
Handles large data sets that excel cannot,Does require some upfront training
It's pricey to obtain user licenses for everyone
Because of the costs, it's important to ensure there is high adoptability and you are not paying for licenses that go unused,7,Google Docs,6,8,Slack, Workday Human Capital Management, Host Analytics Cloud EPM SuiteAndrea CardenTABLEAU - next gen of BI2017-09-05T18:33:27.084ZIn my organization, Tableau Online is being used for data analytics and forecasting circumstances. Currently, it is in it's nascent stage of development where the team is trying something new with the tool. The tool address many of our day to day operations. It helps us pinpoint problems, which makes it easier for us to make decisions.,It can use multiple data sources.
It has ready-made templates for visualizations.
It has reliable support.
It is UI friendly.,9,,9,9,TIBCO Spotfire, SAP Lumira, Tableau Desktop,Not SureBanbhalang KharpuriReview of Tableau Online2017-12-29T20:16:13.700ZTableau Online was used to share analytics about finance/banking products with customers. This was used by the selected group in the organization to increase the level of engagement for the sales department for selling the product. This was usually used to address the complex pricing grids and hidden charges for personal loans, mortgages etc., with the competitors to make the pricing model as easy to understand as possible for better marketing the products.,Tableau Online handle the security areas very well for Operational security, User security, Data security, Network security and Application security.
Tableau Online infrastructure performs regular maintenance to ensure system stability, security, and performance. The data centers are equipped with fire suppression and other monitoring systems designed to detect environmental issues and respond to them before they cause an outage.
Tableau Online backup media is encrypted and always maintained in a secured facility. Disk-based backups are stored in secured data center facilities. Backups made to external backup providers are encrypted in transit and in storage. Only approved system administrators have access to backups.,Data blending has some limitations regarding non-additive aggregates such as COUNTD, MEDIAN, and RAWSQLAGG. Non-additive aggregates are aggregate functions that produce results that cannot be aggregated along a dimension. Instead, the values have to be calculated individually.
Tableau only shows the values that are represented in your data. If your data does not contain the complete range of values, the missing values will not be shown. For example, Sales Data for January to July and November through December. If there was no data recorded for August to November and if a line chart is created in Tableau, the missing months will not be shown. An option is to show the missing months to make it clear that there was no data recorded during that time.
Null values can sometimes appear in place of the data you want in the view when you use data blending.,5,Microsoft BI,9,9Verified UserTableau Online2017-10-27T16:33:18.150ZWe use Tableau online in my business segment in order to aggregate data from many different departments.

Though mainly used by our sales organization to help them see into their customer segments, geography, and customer buying patterns, it is also used to aggregate that data up to the management decision makers as well. We have external stakeholders who rely on that information as well.,Data visualization is bar none the best feature on Tableau.
The ability to drag and drop and ease of use to slice the data into different views.
Being a dashboard tool in a more intuitive and more stable than an Excel based dashboard.,While user intuitive, that is really only true for those with data analysis and BI experience. This is still a tool for experienced data crunchers and not something I would unleash to many in my organization.
Still requires business intelligence consumers to be specific in their requests for data in dashboards, so it still requires the touch point between the data and the user, it requires someone with some know-how, to be in the middle. So it is still not democratizing our organizational data.,9,Microsoft Power BI, MapR and Hadoop,Slack, Trello, Zoom,8,9Kristopher KroonaTableau Online - Your Data When / Where / and How You want It2016-07-13T20:26:34.415ZTableau is used in many different departments throughout my organization.
