- Users on G2 appreciate Tableau's "Ease of Use" score of 8.3, which suggests that new users can quickly adapt to the platform.

- Reviewers say that Tableau's "Data Source Access" scores are impressive, particularly in "Ease of Data Connectivity" at 8.8, making it easier for users to connect to various data sources. In contrast, KNIME Software's ease of data connectivity is rated lower, which may pose challenges for users needing to integrate multiple data sources efficiently.
- Users report that Tableau's "Reporting" capabilities, especially in "Data Transformation" with a score of 9.5, are superior, allowing for more robust reporting options.
