Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop
Tableau Desktop is being used throughout my organization. Every department from accounting and purchasing to engineering and sales and marketing has a at least a few people dedicated to using Tableau to enhance reporting. My company captures all sorts of data and Tableau is providing a way to turn that data into something meaningful.
- Tableau can handle huge data sources and crunch through the numbers.
- Tableau can shine the light on trends and issues that are hidden among the rows and rows of data.
- Tableau has great visuals that help users tell insightful stories.
- Tableau has great dashboards that are easy to use and easy to make.
- Tableau has a learning curve that is fairly steep.
- Users that are not familiar with joins will struggle initially.
- Formulas in Tableau can be a challenge.

I feel like Tableau is easier to use and offers a greater selection of visualizations. I feel that the dashboards are easier to put together and offer a great amount of flexibility for the end-user. Tableau has an excellent user support group. I find the community to be extremely helpful and supportive.
