Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop
We are transitioning all of the data from my department into Tableau so that it can be stored all in one place and visualized. I work for a university IT department that runs a helpline. Our organization collects data on the individuals that call for help. I am able to use Tableau to analyze the caller demographic data. In doing this I am able to get data-driven answers to questions like "what areas are most in need?", "are there certain populations that seem to be disproportionately impacted by our IT rollouts?", and "are there any trends in this caller data that would suggest we focus our resources on specific issues?".
- Love the interface. It's very smooth and easy to connect multiple numbers of data points
- Provided a lot of self-learning tutorials which are easy to follow
- You can display info in different ways (categorical versus numerical)
- User friendly and has clean display
- Sometimes takes a while to refresh
- A bit expensive
- Pullind data, particularly if you are not familiar with SQL or other query languages, can be a bit challenging
Tableau Desktop is highly superior to the other comparable products I have used. Tableau is the best BI tool available in the market and it has a wide variety of use. It is easy to use and has many good visualizations. it has a large variety of data connections and can connect to almost every database.
