Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop
As a small company, we're only currently using Tableau Desktop for ad hoc analyses and occasional charts for projects and proposals.
- Tableau's charting is its best functionality, at least for what we need.
- A second, critically important feature is the ability to pull data from a variety of sources, without requiring ODBCs.
- I'd like Tableau to increase its data analysis functionality. I always start an analytics project with visual analysis, and Tableau does that really well. But when I have to go deeper in the analytics (regression testing, ANOVA, means testing, etc.), I have to switch products.
- Excel
Tableau is far superior to Excel in the display and visual analysis of data. Charts in Tableau are more professional looking than Excel.
