Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop

Tableau desktop is being used in my entire organization. It is very easy to use with a whole lot of functionalities which are very useful to get business users what they really need.
  • I like the way tableau integrates with different other tools like Alteryx. I have been using both in combination which makes it pretty easy to get the extract ready for use.
  • The vizAlerts is a very interesting and useful feature which makes the data available to users through a simple alert.
  • Tableau mobile is something new and I look forward to implementing it in my organization.
  • I think Tableau data source/extract as an input is not possible in Alteryx. I think this needs to be integrated well with Alteryx which will definitely increase its power.
  • Sometimes the loading time is way too much in Tableau. Should do something with it to match up with competitors.
Easy to use, user-friendly. Drag and drop feature which makes it very easy to use and makes it very intuitive.
Visualizations are great in tableau. But for large data sets, the processing time is way too much.
