Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop

I use Tableau to analyze the asset data of our clients to manage the inventory lifecycles and monitor hardware and software usage. Tableau helps in generating reports with live data and has improved decision making. I mainly have to make sure that the assets are covered and user we assign permission has the right one which can be identified with its interactive dashboards.

Pros

  • It has drag and drop feature which makes it easy to create visuals
  • The dashboard is very interactive and can be managed with just a few clicks.
  • Tableau can handle large datasets with ease.

Cons

  • Well, I find the data refresh configurations a little complex.
  • License can become costly for small organizations
  • Integration capabilities are very limited
  • Tableau has excellent predictive analytics, ensuring all the asset coverage is renewed.
  • its automation features help in reducing the time and effort for quicker decision making
  • Massive data sets may require third-party tools to do the ETL process.
Well, it's been a great help in doing the analysis and creating interactive dashboards to minimize the manual work so the reports can be fetched according to the requirements and further analysis can be done to find insights. Moreover, the user interface of Tableau is friendly which can be learned quickly.

I find Tableau useful to analyze and creation of creation of reports easy for daily analysis like the utilization of assets. It also helps find insights like how much assets of a client are going to expire and has to be renews in next 90 days. However, it could become difficult and complex for new joiners to configure the data refresh.
