Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop

We use Tableau Desktop as an application that presents statistics. The first advantage is that you can group different sources of statistics in one place. The second is that there is a lot of customization. We increased our use of Tableau Desktop after migrating to GA4. GA4 stopped meeting our needs. All departments are stakeholders, but only the BI department actually creates and edits reports. I am one of the stakegolders.

Pros

  • Grouping data from different sources.
  • Possibility of personalization.
  • Service availability.

Cons

  • Explanations of data (often, after some time, we do not understand our own reports; there is a lack of legend and description functions).
  • Sometimes the fluidity is not perfect, which makes it not as enjoyable to use.
  • It is definitely a positive that we are constantly monitoring data and can share it with a selected group of recipients.
  • The biggest impact is that we meet and discuss the shape of the requirements for statistics. It allows us to stop and think about the company's overall business goals.
Everything works, so I can't give it lower. But I also miss some "wow" effect to give it higher. It's not a captivating interface, animations, etc.
We used to use products from the Google family in parallel. After migrating to GA4, we use Tableau much more.

Do you think Tableau Desktop delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Tableau Desktop's feature set?

Yes

Did Tableau Desktop live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Tableau Desktop go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Tableau Desktop again?

Yes

The best scenario is definitely to collect data from several sources and create dedicated dashboards for specific recipients. However, I miss the possibility of explaining these reports in more detail. Sometimes, we order a report, and after half a year, we don't remember the meaning of some data (I know it's our fault as an organization, but the tool could force better practices).
