I love how intuitive the drag-and-drop interface is for building visualizations. You can go from raw data to a pretty polished dashboard without writing much code. The variety of chart types and the way it handles blending multiple data sources is also a big plus. And once you get the hang of calculated fields and parameters, it's really flexible for more advanced analysis too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It gets expensive fast, especially once you're licensing it across a team. Performance can also lag with really large datasets or complex dashboards, so you end up spending time optimizing extracts just to keep things snappy. And version control/collaboration on workbooks is clunky compared to more modern tools. There's no great way to track changes or work on the same dashboard simultaneously with someone else.
