It strikes a great balance between ease of use and advanced capabilities, enabling users to create interactive, insightful dashboards without heavy coding.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I dislike most about Tableau is its steep learning curve for advanced features, high licensing costs, and limited version control for collaboration. Also, performance can slow down with large datasets, and dynamic parameter updates require manual refreshes, which can be frustrating.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I’d recommend starting with the free Tableau Public to explore its features. Invest time in learning the basics, as advanced functions have a learning curve. Ensure your data sources are well-structured for better performance. If working in teams, consider Tableau Server or Cloud for collaboration. Lastly, evaluate licensing costs based on your needs, as pricing can be high for small teams.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Choose the right version (Desktop, Server, or Cloud). Check data compatibility with your sources. Use the free trial and training to get started. Optimize performance with extracts for large datasets. Leverage AI features like "Ask Data" for insights. Plan for collaboration with Tableau Server/Cloud.

What differentiates Tableau from other similar products?

It is more robust than other data analysis tools, especially in data import and visualization, which makes it much more robust and direct with what needs to be analyzed. The reports are more customizable than others, giving the option to filter depending on the data that needs to be highlighted and the data that needs to be removed from the data noise. It does not require extensive training to be able to use this platform, I have analyzed other platforms to be able to implement them in my organization, but Tableau was more comfortable and flexible for the end user.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I can import a large amount of data from different sources, both in local files and in connection with other platforms, no matter the amount of data, I can even import an entire customer database to be processed for further analysis. It does not require much knowledge to be able to implement this platform in any type of organization, the learning curve is not very steep so it will be easy to integrate and implement this platform. The data analysis is obtained in real time, so it does not require long waits for data processing, and filters can be applied to make the processing clearer and thus discard unnecessary information.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Working with an excessive amount of data can be a bit complicated, especially in terms of performance. I think it is poorly optimized in that aspect since I have worked with other analysis platforms and I have not had any performance problems with the same amount of data. This is important to me since I require speed to process the data and I feel that it is one more wall that I must overcome in order to have the corresponding analysis. There are certain functionalities that are not available in the desktop version that are available in the online version, one of them is the way to export the data to image or PDF.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It can be expensive for small companies, although this platform is essential if you want to boost your organization and see the strengths of the things that work best for you, you also have to analyze the return on investment because depending on your needs, the return may be low. On the other hand, I think it is an excellent tool for processing and later analyzing data, it is very complete with respect to data management tools.
