Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop
We use Tableau Desktop as a part of our regular data visualization and exploration. Our dataset ranged from gene expression data, clinical trials, to a proteomic dataset. With the flexibility and robust process from Tableau, we use Tableau mainly as the preliminary task for having a quick glance of the data. While most computation is usually done in R, Tableau also used to make a "pretty graph" for paper and publication.
- Data visualization
- Publishing data visualization
- Interactive data visualization
- Robust/Fact calculation
- Although Tableu supports R, this support is still limited. It would be great if there was some interface where Tableau could connect to R directly.
- Exporting/printing multiple view as file/output.
- Python and Microsoft Excel
Python is programming tools, while Tableau is an easy to use drag and drop data visualization tool. This may not be an apple to apple comparison. Compared to Excel, Tableua is way over the top when it comes to data visualization.
