Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop
I used Tableau Desktop when I was searching for our business intelligence and dashboarding tool. I heard a lot about the product, and then I tried it. I'm still using it, and we use it in our database administrator team, for business intelligence attached to our data warehouse (internal use, sysadmin, log in, reporting status of machines, server, database usage, and so on...). We use it for its great dashboarding and for the power of the data load editor.
Pros
- Data loading is really powerful.
- A lot of data sources are available. For us the connection to SQL Server Analysis Services is really cool.
- Powerful customization of graphics and dashboards.
- Analysis functions, like forecast and so on.
Cons
- It's not so easy to understand.
- They should have a more intuitive data load editor.
Tableau Desktop is powerful in terms of data sources and dashboarding creation. You can customize and fine-tune your graphics (color, size, text, tooltips and so on). You can make calculations on measures and dimensions. It's also has a cool geocoding function and maps layers.
