Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Cloud

Tableau allows my team and the entire company to visualize important KPIs that are key to reaching business goals.
I use Tableau every day to check performances and report them back to the different stakeholders in the company, as well as filling the forecast.
Tableau is great for visualizing time series and being able to compare YoY, QoQ, WoW or DoD, as well have having the chance to switch between rates and row numbers.

Pros

  • comparison
  • personalization
  • sync

Cons

  • heaviness of the the dashboards: when the number of data is great, the dashboard start to lag and it is getting difficult to update.
  • ability to report performances in an accurate way: on a day-to-day report, Tableau allows the company to understand what my channel is brining, ROI, weak points and possible improvements
  • negative impact: granularity of data - if the dashboard needs to have a lot more data (like millions of rows) to be used to deep dive, the dash lag
I think it's a great tool and my company has used it forever and each team has their dedicated dashboard. It is quite intuitive as well, so there's not much training needed in order to be able to use existing dashboards and read the data. Access is quite easy with SSO as well.
Tableau has a way easier Intuitive UI compare to Power BI or Amplitude. AMplitude is great since anyone could create their own dashboard, but building it it's a different thing.

Do you think Tableau Cloud delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Tableau Cloud's feature set?

Yes

Did Tableau Cloud live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Tableau Cloud go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Tableau Cloud again?

Yes

I think Tableau is well suited when you have a dedicated ADI team that works on the dashboard and data visualization and they are able to deliver requested reports.
Tableau could not suit small companies where there's no ADI dedicated team or analyst and the marketers or product managers have to create their own dashboard, since the queries are not that easy.
