"Best Data Visualization tool with interactive dashboards & integration with different data sources"
What do you like best about Tableau?

1. Easier integration with most of the data sources available, which helps in automating the reports and creating great visuals 2. Entitlements and data governance policies that help in securely maintaining and reporting client data and controlling user-level permissions 3. Tableau Viz of the day is one of the best platforms in showcasing unique and interactive dashboards with different use cases encouraging people to collaborate and share different ideas 4. Excellent support from Tableau user community and great articles on knowledge base, which helps in troubleshooting the queries 5. Customizations of views is another great option that comes handy while creating dashboards

What do you dislike about Tableau?

1. Tableau from many years offers limited standard views like a bar, scattered, and line plots which can be further improved by adding new plot designs to the palette 2. Tableau dashboards sometimes have performance issues, particularly while connecting to databases or reading from a data dump, which slows down the interaction with the dashboard, this can be fixed by changing the internal search options to get the dashboard up to speed even with extensive data 3. Even though we do have Tableau public, but it has limited features, and pricing can be improved to help mid and small level organizations adopt this tool 4. Not a one-point solution for all the work as it can only be used as an endpoint to showcase the job but lacks in data preparation and transforming skills

What problems is Tableau solving and how is that benefiting you?

Inaccurate and less efficient reporting through excel macros and manual works, which is prone to human errors and involves a lot of FTE, and is dependent on FTE. By using Tableau, we can automate the existing dashboards and reports and move them to server, thereby removing the manual dependency and is less prone to errors with interactive visualizations

"The optimal platform for both presenting and comprehending data."
What do you like best about Tableau?

What I like most about Tableau is that it can be connected with almost all the datasources, thus we do not have to worry if the dataset will be compatible with Tabkeu or not.

What do you dislike about Tableau?

Sometimes there can be lag in showcasing the data when the datset is either large or from different datasources. Othere than this the overall experience had been wonderful.

What problems is Tableau solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tableau helps to present the data in a more brilliant way that is more convenint for the users to narrate to the end users.
