Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop

  • Easy for a business user with little or no data knowledge to access and understand their data. Hence you can connect straight to your accounts or operational data and start gaining insights to aid good decision making.
  • A great combination of entry level BI all the way to expert. The user interface is so friendly and intuitive that you can see results almost immediately. I was able to pick it up and make new discoveries about my business within a couple of hours from first opening the software.
  • The software is very affordable and also scalable so you don't have to make a huge investment up front you simply add licenses as you need them. The setup is instant too.
  • The main downside for me is that it is currently not available for Mac so I have to run it on a VM.
I couldn't imagine using anything else now for BI.
I would recommend everyone to try it for free from Tableau's website.
