Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Online

We use Tableau for reporting primarily to Execs for projects and financials. It's also used by our Product department for analyzing product changes, and to track how people are using our system. It's primarily used by the product department and IT, but is starting to make its way into other departments as we expand it.
  • Easy to understand dashboards, really good for managers and execs
  • Easy to create dashboards once you have the right data
  • UI layout for creating new dashboard is good
  • Formatting dashboards is a little technical, a more user friendly version would be nice
  • Ability to export reports out to other formats
  • More color and options would be good
Before we had Tableau we tried to produce reports in JIRA, which is fine as long as the data is there. We did not have all the data we needed in JIRA to make it successful. Tableau is able to pull data from many sources, so it is a more valuable tool.
Tableau has taken over as our default reporting tool for managers and execs. We also use it for reporting our financials to the CFO. The CFO then uses it to report to the board and rest of the company. The product department can easily create reports to show trends and how our system is being used; this helps guide future product changes.
