Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop

I work in market intelligence and Tableau has solved our problem of data visualization. We use it to create diverse understanding of available data and generate clear view of our sales numbers. It helps us create dashboards to avoid rework on slides and allows us to connect different databases to prepare actionable view of data.

Pros

  • Data visualization
  • Dashboards
  • Forecasting
  • Combine mutiple data

Cons

  • User friendly interface
  • Leas loading time
  • Less license fee
  • Very expensive license fee
  • Training requirements
  • Not so good after sales support
It is a good tool for data visualization and helps develop insightful dashboards.
