Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop

We use Tableau as a tool to visualize analytics in many industries and search for insights. Data sources usually include SQL and CSV. We also use the ability to build white label solutions based on Tableau.

Pros

  • After basic training users can operate with Tableau by themselves.
  • Tableau is good for evaluating base data analytics and data science tasks.

Cons

  • In comparison to Ms PowerBL: fewer visuals in Tableau.
  • Fewer free versions and support documentation/examples in Tableau rather than in PowerBI.
QlikView/QlikSense, Ms PowerBI. Tableau world includes many experienced developers but for the next tasks, I consider Ms Power BI.
A good scenario for Tableau is the fast analysis and visualization of the amount of data that can't be analyzed with Ms Excel. The case of embedding Tableau in, for example, a web-page is not so convenient.
