Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop
I work for a Data Sciences organization which provides consulting and corporate training in data science and visualization, and since Tableau is my bread and butter for visualization, either to understand my data or train people on the nuances of data. It is generally used across the organization although some people prefer using R and Python libraries in pockets.
- Easy to import data from multiple sources
- Easy to drag and drop and create various dimension
- Easy to build a storyboard
- A simple knowledgebank to get people started is essential.
- The pricing could be slightly lower for individual users
- The calculated fields could be made simpler
I have had the good fortune to use a lot of BI tools such as QlikView and Power BI but Tableau according to me provides the bang for the buck. Having said that, the other tools are continually improving and the market would be crowded with a lot of tools providing matching functionalities.
