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.

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.

(1-13 of 13)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
We use Tableau Public as part of our reporting and dashboarding toolset within our agency's marketing team. We use it both for internal and client dashboards and find it is a pretty helpful and wide-ranging dashboarding and data visualization tool, the fact that it is free is only an added bonus despite the limitations of the free account.

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.
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.
