When you first create charts and manipulating data, most people start from a Excel. If you bring this knowledge and comes to Tableau Desktop you will do a huge step ahead on the dataviz journey, with a easy to use tool that has a very intuitive UI. You can start quickly.
During my use of Tableau Desktop I didn't need much support, since I had a team with high knowledge and experienced in Tableau, but everytime we had to use some support we were quickly answered and had our questions solved.
Tableau Desktop and all their other products are way beyond its competitors in the market. I can say that it is the state of the art for data visualization for big companies, and also an excellent tool for growing business. But due to its cost, it's an invetment on licenses and trained people that some medium/small companies can't afford - at least not for so long, it it doesn't convert in growing proft.
