Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop

Our [organization] uses [Tableau Desktop] in some of the departments to create dashboards for senior leaders as well as to improve team's overall processes. From understanding the sales across regions and clients to providing a breakup of workfront's tasks and due dates, Tableau [Desktop] is helpful in communicating the vast data into easy to understand and interactive visuals.

Pros

  • Clear Presentation
  • Easy to use and learn
  • Good repository of learning materials online

Cons

  • Connection to Microsoft apps
  • Easier access for users who dont have a license
  • Faster decision making
  • Faster Communication
  • Strong Data Capabilities
I use both in my Organisation. Both of them have advantages and disadvantages. I prefer Tableau [Desktop] as it provides larger options to play around with the data. Power BI has an advantages that it connects well with the MS application where Tableau lacks.

Would you buy Tableau Desktop again?

Yes

It is easy to learn and even beginners can create basic visualizations. There is a ton of learning material online if you get stuck. The [Tableau] user groups are also helpful where they even help you to solve a problem.
I have had only one occasion to contact Tableau support. They were very responsive and kept in touch even after the problem was resolved.
Tableau [Desktop] is suited to derive quick insights from large sets of data (organized) to create good visuals to tell a story. It helps in quick communication of complex data and makes it easier to interpret it.
Tableau [Desktop] is not suitable if the data is very unorganized and needs human understanding and manipulation before it can be used. Though Tableau can be used to manipulate data, but if the data needs to be in a certain shape in order to be read by Tableau
