Tableau Public has found its place in a variety of use cases, proving to be a versatile tool for data analysis and visualization. Analysts rely on Tableau Public to gather requirements and build customized dashboards that meet their specifications. With the ability to visualize and present large datasets, Tableau Public enables users to summarize data and identify trends using various visualizations. This makes it an invaluable asset for organizations, allowing them to make sense of complex data sets and generate insights that aid in quick decision-making. Its capabilities extend beyond internal use, as Tableau Public also serves as a platform for creating publicly-available data dashboards and visualizations. The tool enables organizations to publish and distribute these visuals, whether through embedding them on their own websites or sharing them with other organizations. Furthermore, students leverage Tableau Public for educational purposes such as data analysis projects and research, while agencies utilize it both internally and for client reporting and dashboarding. Personal users have also found value in Tableau Public, using it to create and share dashboards with others. Ultimately, Tableau Public offers a wide range of applications across industries and user types, making it an indispensable tool for anyone seeking to unlock insights from data.

Great training tool: Many users have found Tableau Public to be a valuable training tool for understanding the basics of Tableau before purchasing the full software. This has allowed them to familiarize themselves with the platform and its features, making it easier for them to transition to using the complete version effectively.

Extends visualization capabilities: Reviewers have praised Tableau Public as an excellent tool for extending the visualization capabilities of Excel. They appreciate how it enables them to create more advanced and interactive visualizations, allowing them to present data in a more engaging and accessible way. Additionally, Tableau Public's ability to publish data for others to access has been highly valued by users.

User-friendly interface with easy customization: Users have consistently highlighted Tableau Public's user-friendly interface, which makes it simple and intuitive to create and reformat visualizations. The availability of various visualization wizards has also been mind-blowing according to reviewers, enabling users to easily explore relationships between variables and present findings effectively. Furthermore, users appreciate the customization capabilities offered by Tableau Public, allowing non-developers to make on-the-go changes and tailor their visualizations without difficulty.

Limited data sharing and security options: Several users have expressed the need for better options for public sharing of visualizations and data, as well as concerns about the lack of security in Tableau Public. Some reviewers feel that the fact that any data used in the program is public and not secure is a significant drawback.

Restrictive storage space limitation: A common concern among users is the 1 GB storage space limitation per user ID and password. This constraint is seen as limiting by several reviewers, especially for those who work with large volumes of data.

Limitations in data ingestion and compatibility: Many users have mentioned the limitations in terms of data ingestion in Tableau Public. The software only allows a maximum of 10 million rows per data source and does not support direct connections to SQL databases. Additionally, some users have found it unable to read Excel workbooks with multiple pages, which can be restrictive when working with complex datasets.
