It makes it simple to explore trends, identify patterns, and share insights through dashboards, which helps teams make more informed decisions without requiring extensive technical expertise.

What I dislike most about Tableau is that it can have a steep learning curve for advanced features and dashboard development. Some tasks require significant configuration, and managing large or complex dashboards can sometimes affect performance. The licensing and overall cost can also become a concern for larger teams.

It provides a reliable, central analytics hub to track key performance indicators, monitor key stats and be able to see a breakdown of orders, average order value, revenue and compare M-o-M and Y-o-Y performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Large datasets can cause slow dashboard rendering, and extract-based reports mean data is often delayed rather than real-time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is seamlessly integrated into the Supply Chain Product (TMS and LCT by Blue Yonder) It is easy to configure reports by using the backend tables of TMS. Many consultants are also familiar with Tableau so it is easy to explain the reporting capabilities to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Look up works well for 2 tables but when i have to write a nested query like looking up value in one table, but displaying the result by referring to two or more tables, then it becomes cumbersome. Also we need to buy separate license for using Tableau on our server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Tableau very easy to build data models, which helps us establish context for our AI. I also appreciate that it's easier for non-technical users to use. The integration abilities with Salesforce and Slack are standout features that influenced our switch from Power BI. Plus, the initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the idea of having to go to a webpage to access a dashboard is kind of dated and not super valuable anymore. Nowadays, most people want the numbers where they’re already at, like accessing the data in dashboards within Salesforce or via their AI assistant, rather than going to a webpage specifically for reporting.

Tableau comes with deployment options such as Tableau Server (which we deploy on AWS cloud, but can be deployed on other public/private clouds or on-premises Windows/Linux) and Tableau Cloud (a multi-tenant SaaS solution). The REST API and the Metadata API (GraphQL) are crucial for integration and secured through PATs, JWT, SAML, or OpenID, with VizQL Server delivering the visualizations.

Key data components are a Hyper metadata repository and Hyper extracts for very fast in-memory analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I come from a non-tech background, but with Tableau I can still create impressive, interactive visualizations from complex data because it requires very little coding. It helps me turn raw Excel data into clear, attractive visuals, including charts, maps, graphs, and dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are two things I dislike about Tableau: first, it costs more than other similar tools. Second, when working with large datasets, it often becomes slow. I’ve noticed this especially while creating dashboards with large amounts of data, where performance can drop and it becomes slower. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Tableau for creating a lot of dashboards for sales and customer success teams. Tableau helps us build customized dashboards and reports by sharing from multiple data sources, which aren't supported in existing CRMs. It provides visibility to all the metrics for all responsible parties and distinguishable access types for contributors, editors, and creators. I love the clarity and almost real-time data visibility it provides to leadership. The UI and interface are amazing, making it very easy to build customized dashboards and reports. You can become a pro at creating in just a couple of months. I love creating multiple viewpoints for the same data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes data refresh seems to be lagging, which means your stats are not really up to date. That's something that can be frustrating. Also, I think Tableau could improve its functionalities for administrators, like user management and reporting on the adoption of the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tableau can have a learning curve, particularly when building more complex dashboards or calculations. It can also be challenging to maintain consistency and governance across dashboards as usage grows, and sometimes getting the right data model or source data in place requires significant effort.

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.
