Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop

This has got to be one of the coolest ways of displaying and viewing reports! I really love how everything integrates with the systems that we already use and it all seamlessly works together! The real time updates are also huge! I highly recommend Tableau Desktop especially if you haven't tried it yet!

Pros

  • Real Time Reporting
  • Team Access
  • All in one place

Cons

  • filters
  • accessibility
  • customization
  • HANDLES LARGE AMOUNTS OF DATA
  • MOBILE-FRIENDLY
It does have a lot of potential when using Microsoft other technologies - in integration/Embedded, Visuals and connectivity to data sources. Advanced analytics is also smooth when working on python/r scripts. Automated insights are better in Tableau/Alphaa AI. NLG/NLQ - explored few options but okay as of now.

The solution’s functionality is not limited by the graphic information representation; there is also a heap of work under the surface. Indeed, the application makes requests to the cloud and relational databases, spreadsheets and OLAP cubes for the required statistical data, and then parses, categorizes and correlates it to generate a comprehensive analytical report. Tableau has both desktop and online versions, which enables access to software data in the cloud or on premises.
Tableau Desktop does not give you support unless you pay for it. If your organization has purchased Tableau Desktop and not support, your best bet is to simply use Google and see if any one else has had the same issues as you are having at that moment in time. You can pay for better support.
From data prep to dashboard consumption, Tableau Desktop 2022.1 makes data analysis easier at every stage. It is an excellent data visualization and business intelligence tool used for reporting and analyzing vast volumes of data. It helps users create different charts, graphs, maps, dashboards, and stories for visualizing and analyzing data, to help in making business decisions.
