Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Online

As a department it has allowed us to take reports that were previously in spreadsheet format and create combined dashboards that are easy to understand. The department sends these out to a variety of teams across the business and it allows for people who are less technical to see and understand in-depth data in an easy to read format.
  • Easy to [use] UI
  • Generates intuitive charts maps and graphs
  • Takes a wide variety of data sources
  • Hard to build up adhoc reports.
  • One off joins of reports are unnecessarily difficult.
  • Cost for license prohibits us from getting as many users as we’d like!
  • Allowed for quicker understanding of data and decisions made quicker
  • Allowed for decision makers to have access to better cleaner data to make the right call
  • Freed up analysts time from building reports for different teams
  • Scheduling means less issues around when different teams get their data and therefore can adapt to issues quicker.

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

Yes

Are you happy with Tableau Cloud's feature set?

Yes

Did Tableau Cloud live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Tableau Cloud go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Tableau Cloud again?

Yes

The user interface is clean and modern with very quick accessibility to most of the common actions. The flow of actions is simple to understand and follow to build up any data analytics models or visualisation you need.
We had some implementation issues with an API call and existing software and they were quick to respond with an in-depth solution which worked for us and was easy to implement without too much pain
Tableau Online is well suited for taking a large amount of data sources and combining them into a single, understandable representation of the data, in the form of dashboards and graphical representation as long as these are regular. It is less suited to adjusting to ad hoc reporting or one offs.
