Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Server

We use Tableau for eight lines of business. It gives each department a glance at their activity and compares it to previous quarters. We also provide an agency-wide section that is used for annual stats. It gives each department a way to get data on their own and knowing that the data is coming from one source, and most importantly that the numbers will be consistent.
  • Quickly get a feeling on how a line of business is performing by looking at a page.
  • Out of the box easy to use, setup and produce visual data.
  • Numerous ways to visually show the same data.
  • Tabular reports could be expanded.
  • Ability to quickly produce drill-down reports for quick numbers vs. visual displays.
  • The ability for any staff to have access to only view reports at no additional cost.
Better visually and ease of use.
Great for visual reports for board reports or presentations. Less appropriate to create quick add hock tabular reports.
