Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop

It is being used to create analytics for distribution and use throughout the supply chain organization.
We have creators that publish to the server which other users leverage. That solves the business problem of sharing spreadsheets and everyone having a consistent view of the information.
  • Easy to use
  • Consistent analytics
  • Presentation ready
  • CTE for custom SQL
  • Comments for users to add enhancement requests
  • JIRA style project management of a workbook
Tableau is much easier and more sophisticated and well though-out.
Well suited for larger organizations where ad-hoc reporting is less important than daily use of the same analytics. Not well suited for quick ad hoc analytics or teams not willing to learn. This is a program which favors the learning person.
