Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Tableau as an all-in-one dashboard for our business analytics. Everything from our website metrics, to our sales funnel conversions, to email data, etc. We use Tableau to put that data into reports and charts that give us real insights. These insights help us understand how we're doing as a business.

Pros and Cons

Pulling data from multiple sources
Create beautiful charts and graphs
Saves time by creating reports we would normally have to do in Excel manually

It lacks support for certain data hierarchies
Too expensive for startups and SMBs
The constant updates are a bit annoying

Alternatives Considered

From our experience testing other products, I'd say Tableau is probably the best high-end data visualization tool out there. It's tougher to set up compared to programs like Zoho and Chartio, but the data is much better and you'll appreciate the reports. But if price is an issue, Tableau is more expensive than some of the other options out there.

Other Software Used

Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Zapier

Likelihood to Recommend

Tableau Desktop is great if you work for a large company with a large analytics budget. In fact most large companies need software like this, it's necessary to visualize your data, and large companies have a lot of it.

But if you're a startup or SMB, you probably don't need all of those functions. If price is an issue, then there are some other solutions that you can make use of until you have more of an analytics budget.

One of the best data visualization tools for established companies.
