Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop

I was working on it last year and it was the right choice. It is a data visualization software that lets me see and understand data. I used it to show our sales and management team quick dashboards about performance and products. I also used it to analyze data.
  • Stunning dashboards.
  • Good visualizations.
  • It is easy to use.
  • Different functions like average, sum, and count.
  • Easy to create graphs and dashboards.
  • Tableau is great for analyzing data.
  • Huge license cost.
  • Difficult to create complex charts.
  • Limited data.
  • SAP BusinessObjects Lumira
It is more useful and easy.
SAP BusinessObjects Lumira
The scenarios where Tableau Desktop is well suited is we can connect to any type of data source. It allowed us to take our data and easily create intuitive visualizations. The scenarios where Tableau Desktop is less appropriate are when there is huge amount of data, Tableau is sluggish.
