Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop

It is currently being used by a department. It addressed the need to house, sort, segment, and slice a large amount of data to display very visual representations of trends and performance. Its ability to sort and filter data was great.

Pros

  • House large quantities of data
  • Import various data sources
  • Visually display and organize data in attractive and easy-to-use ways

Cons

  • User access
  • Ability to share
  • excel
Tableau was chosen when Excel couldn't handle mass quantities of data, several web queries, and formal presentations. Tableau's functionality makes much more sense for client-facing data visuals.
It was used by my organization for daily/weekly/monthly dashboards because it was easy to update and pull insights from.

Tableau Desktop Implementation

Everything worked great, was just a bit slow to get started.
