Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop

Tableau Desktop was being utilized internally to automatically process monthly reports and create PDF exports for client delivery.
  • Data Visualization
  • Data Importing
  • Data Blending
  • Providing login-free dashboards for client/stakeholder visibility
  • Definitions for tooltips
  • Custom color schemes
Tableau Desktop is far more capable than Data Studio but it should be since you're paying for that service. Datorama seems to be a closer rival with similar abilities and excellent customer service with a dedicated client success manager.
I feel that if you're wanting to use a tool with a great, capable community and don't mind setting up a system from the ground up with little help then Tableau will be perfect.
