its a very powerful tool, and works reliably and seamlessly, but sometimes dashboards take a bit long to load, especially when connected to live big datasets. and costing is on higher side but for smaller teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best is Tableau's fundamental design philosophy, which emphasizes data exploration and visual storytelling over just rigid reporting. The drag and drop interface is intuitive enough for a business user to interface is intuitive basic charts, but the platform truly shines when an analyst needs to move beyond standard bar line charts. Features like advanced mapping and the ability to finely tune every visual element allow us to create highly customized, interactive dashboards that summarize complex data beautifully.

While the visualization is top tier the data preparation and native ETL capabilities are limited compared to competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

well most of the part is very easy to use.. but some of the more advance calculations and customizations require practice to master. its dashboards can also become slow when handling very large datasets. it would be great . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Tableau is how effortlessly it transforms complex datasets into visuals that are easy to interpret and act on. The drag-and-drop interface feels natural — you can explore data without writing a single line of code, yet still build highly customized dashboards when needed. I really appreciate how seamlessly it connects with different data sources like SQL, Excel, and cloud platforms, and allows you to blend them together in real time.

The interactivity in Tableau dashboards is a huge plus — you can filter, drill down, and visualize relationships instantly. It’s especially helpful for explaining insights to non-technical stakeholders since the visuals do most of the talking. Overall, it bridges the gap between technical data analysis and clear business communication beautifully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tableau is an incredibly powerful platform, but it does take some time and patience to master all of its features. The basics are straightforward, but once you start getting into calculated fields, data blending, or parameter actions, the learning curve becomes noticeable. I’ve also found that when working with very large datasets or multiple live data connections, performance can dip a bit — dashboards might take longer to load or refresh.

That said, these issues are minor compared to what Tableau offers overall. Once you understand how everything fits together, the flexibility, control, and visual quality of the dashboards easily outweigh the initial complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

See we work with Enterrpise customer across the globe. Tableau has been a helping tool in these ways

1. We are able to easily understand the customer API consumption and services, via graph and simple bar charts.

2. It is helpful for both pre sales and post sales team to understand the current oppertunity status and contract utilization

3. It also helps us to create dahsboard, without much of coding, which is cool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Has a Tableau user from almost a year now.

1. The rendering of page takes time, UI response is really slow.

2. Performance slows down, understanding it has to work with lots of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Tableau’s powerful and intuitive filtering capabilities.

With multiple orgs, teams, and roles, it’s incredibly easy to drill down and view data that’s most relevant to your scope.

For example,

1. we can quickly identify AMIs older than lets say three months,

2. services performing below four 9s availability,

3. cloud components with high spend, or

4. containers running vulnerable Docker images, all with just a few filters.

And since these are something that you do quarter on quarter or year on year. These dashboards usage are very frequent and eliminate the cross team dependency . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, Tableau works great, but when handling very large datasets, the visualizations can become slow to load.

The user interface also has room for improvement in terms of responsiveness and modern design Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
