Tableau is being used to make sense of the plethora of data to CxO team and bank-clients. It is used across the organization. It solves the problem of generating insights and aids in making a quick decision. Internally, it helps discover data patterns such as customer purchase behavior, sales trends, or production bottlenecks.
- Excellent, mind-blowing variety of visualization wizards
- Lightweight and secure
- Variety of data sources supported by its connectors, from plain file, Excel, RDBMS, and Hadoop to NoSQL databases.
- Easy deployment to production.
- Padding and working with null or missing values.
- Expensive Licenses
- Slow rendering when the data volume is huge.
- Real-time changes in visualization as the underlying data changes.

Tableau Public is a great community-driven dashboard program
Tableau Public was used during the initial onboarding stages of the Tableau platform (when we were making decisions about what dashboard program to implement organization-wide). It was used across the entire organization in different capacities: as an analyst, I primarily worked on requirements gathering for dashboards from clients and internal teams, and then built the dashboards to the gathered specifications. Data engineers built APIs and data pipelines to provide the requisite data to test the platform. Clients and internal team members used Tableau Public to view and present different reports based on the data from different platforms. Tableau Public, like Tableau (corporate or enterprise), is a dashboard program meant to work with large datasets and visualize and present that data in digestible formats. In this sense, it addresses the issues of understanding the story data tells: its viz capabilities are great for summarizing data (say, monthly spending performance), and identifying trends using different visualizations.
- Data visualization: lots of different options, including bar, scatter, pie, waterfall charts to explore relationships between variables, and to present findings/trends to different teams
- Integrates readily with limited, though different data sources: TXT, CSV, TDE, Access
- Exports reports for review of different dashboards: client-ready/team-ready, with a clean and tidy presentation in PDF format (or hardcopy)
- The biggest drawback to the Public version of Tableau is that any data used in the program is 'public' and therefore not secure: workbooks are saved to the cloud, rather than locally
- Tableau Public limits data ingestion to 10 million rows per source
- Limited connections - can't connect to SQL databases to ingest data (must be through CSV, Access, TDE, or text files)

Active platform for data analysis
Tableau Public is not used as popular as MS excel by students on campus in terms of data analysis and visualization. However, lots of engineering students and those who are dealing with data analysis have been using Tableau for many projects and research. Tableau Public, together with Tableau Desktop, is available on computers for students from the engineering departments, the statistics department, and the business school. Using Tableau Public can create a viz that makes results from data analysis more approachable to your audience and the data can be obtained from any engineering experiments, statistic analysis, market surveying, etc.
- Tableau Public can work with data that are differently formatted, such as MS Excel, .txt file, Google Sheets, not sure about MS Access.
- GUI interface of Tableau Public is not that hard to start working on; Also, it can generate codes for the operations and so it is relatively easy to visualize and correct mistakes.
- Lots of Tableau Public users upload their work to the online community, users can easily find very good figures/graphs that are similar to their problems and so they can use these figures/graphs as templates to modify and make their own ones.
- Tableau Public is a free version which has limited space for data importing. Upgrade the software involves a large fee.
Tableau has helped us to organize all our information in order to make our planning much easier. We started using it when we realized we needed to know all the details that the sales team was telling us, so we can make an emphasis on the most important products to offer, for example.
This software has been used by the whole organization; we all learned to use it and understand the meaning of every data, to use it for our daily jobs. In this way, we have used Tableau to organize our information and make our plans.

Tableau Public is easy to use
Financial Org. implementation for a simple dashboard to review HR finance. This was used for the financial reporting over a given timeline for the payment system. A key peice was to present to client and using the Tableau visuals by both transferring to a PowerPoint and direct for the client with user case results.
- Clean - easy to present to clients.
- Simple - the training was shorter than other efforts I have done and the creation of materials effortless with helped with user adoption. Users liked the product so they were more inclined to learn it.
- Customization - Being able to run short sprints was a key for my project and using on-the-go features allowed the customization by non-developers quickly.
- Data analytics - this was not the strongest at forecasting models or any sort or predictive analytics. I use Hyperion for that which is way less user-friendly but much stronger.

Getting Started With Tableau? Try Public
Tableau Public is the free/lite version of the Tableau visualization tool intended for publishing public data using public data sources. Unlike Desktop, there are no data connectors with the exception of Excel or CSV text files. And there is no security. It is software that is intended to extend visualization of data for public consumption with both the data and the visualizations freely downloadable by anyone accessing it.

Great for data visualization in blogs, reports, and other documents
It is used to visualize data to use in blog posts, periodic reports, white papers, emails, and social media posts. It makes it easy to share data visualizations with the public, or to add them to documents intended for a specific audience. The platform is useful in keeping all of our data and reports consolidated in one place across multiple devices. It is used in both communications and development.
- Integration with Goodle Drive
- Allows you to highlight specific data points
- Optimizes visualizations for viewing from different devices
- In order to keep your data private, you have to buy a subscription
- Problems with embedding on some websites
- Must have a professional subscription to share with your network

Create, Interact and Share your Insights with Tableau
Tableau Public is used by potential customers to evaluate both the Desktop and Server applications. In addition, visualizations that our company and / or customers want to publish on their website and share with community members are excellent applications for these tools.
- Tableau Public offers free tools for creative people to learn the products with minimal investment "up front", as well as providing a place to share data visualizations and insights with the world. Visualizations are hosted (for no charge) by Tableau Software and may be accessed by members of the local community (via links from an organization's website) or from anywhere in the world. Workbook(s) published to Tableau Public may be downloaded by viewers to see techniques used by the creator, and get good ideas.
- Tableau Public Premium is similar but removes the download functionality. This works well when the publisher wants to share access to the visualizations (e.g. on the organization's website) but NOT share the underlying workbooks nor data, keeping both confidential.
- Tableau Public (both Desktop and Server) like their "for a fee" counterparts offer very easy to learn and use tools to transform data into pictures and gain insights into your data. Most organizations report a reduction in development time of 10x vs. other similar tools, due to the intuitive user interface. That said, with Tableau Public, published workbooks are "disconnected" from the underlying data sources and require periodic updates when the data changes. Users are limited to 1 Gb of storage space per user ID and password as well.
- I would like to see better options for public sharing of visualizations and data from within the "for a fee" products as more and more organizations are moving in the direction of data sharing with partners and their communities.

Tableau sets the standard for Business Analytics tools
Tableau is primarily used as an analytics tool for managerial accounting decisions regarding costing, inventory, and product performance. In addition, it is used for generating presentation content and segmenting regional target lists and performance results. This tool solves an array of business problems including effective content generation and acts as a user friendly, centralized financial information database.
- Generates heat maps to segment product performance and volumes for each state if needed. This helps to allocate focuses on growth opportunities for particular states.
- Quickly reads large files and increases productivity exponentially.
- User interface is simple to use - great supporting resources if you're not understanding a specific area.
- Simpler first time integration. Labor intensive first steps in order to get data to operate effectively. I needed to keep re-verifying numbers until I felt the integration was operating correctly.

Interactive Data Visualization Shared on the Web
- It works easily with Excel (.xls Excel 97-2003) format workbooks (see the related negative comment below).
- It allows quick and easy reformatting of visualizations and charts.
- It facilitates chart building because you can see which charts' input requirements are satisfied by your data, without leading you, lock step through a "chart building wizard" or other nonsense.
- Modern (.xlsx) workbooks are not accepted in the free (public version). The public version accepts only a limited number of inputs from Microsoft Access and Excel (.xls 97-2003 format).
- It seemed unable to read an Excel workbook with more than three pages.
- You MUST post your results to the web. No confidential data here!
