Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop

It is mainly used by the Analytics department in order to solve business problems but there are some savvy business users. It helps to find possible reasons for business performance spikes or drops by slicing and dicing the data. Also, it is generating automated daily reports to key business stakeholders and senior executives.
  • Diverse options for data visualization
  • Intuitive user interface
  • Robust built-in analytics
  • Needs more sophisticated data governance options.
  • Needs more smooth connection with other tools (such as Adobe Analytics).
- Tableau Desktop is already proven in the market.
- Tableau has a very strong user community.
- Tableau report is very easy to automate so we can save time for reporting.
Tableau Desktop is well suited where data is already well organized within the company data warehouse. Also, there should be competent data engineers who can ensure that data quality is always reliable. If the data quality is bad, it is of no use to business stakeholders and executives. Please remember, "garbage in, garbage out!"
