Tableau Reviews & Product Details

What do you like best about Tableau?

The best thing about Tableau is how easy it is to create beautiful, interactive dashboards once you're comfortable with the tool. It handles large datasets well, and the visual customization options are awesome. I love how it lets you bring data to life — makes it easier to explain insights to non-technical folks. Drag-and-drop interface is super helpful for quick analysis too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tableau?

The initial setup and learning curve can be a bit painful, especially if you're coming from Excel or Google Sheets. Some of the formulas and calculated fields feel unintuitive at first. Also, publishing dashboards and managing permissions can get confusing. It would be great if the user interface was a bit more beginner-friendly. Pricing is on the higher side too for small teams.

What do you like best about Tableau?

I use Tableau daily in my role on the marketing and analytics team. It helps us create dashboards to track campaign performance, user behavior, and business KPIs. Tableau makes it easy to connect to different data sources like Google Sheets, Snowflake, and Salesforce. I like how you can just drag and drop to build charts, but also do deeper analysis using filters, calculated fields, and level of detail expressions when needed.

Implementation was smooth and handled by our internal team. It didn’t take long to connect our main data sources and start building reports. The platform is easy to use once you get used to it, and it’s great for sharing dashboards across teams.

Tableau also helps our stakeholders explore the data on their own, so the analytics team doesn’t have to answer every small request. That saves us a lot of time and improves decision making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some features are hard for new users to understand at first, especially advanced calculations. Dashboards can get slow if you're working with large datasets, so we sometimes have to optimize them or use extracts. Also, Tableau can be expensive if you need a lot of people to have access.

What do you like best about Tableau?

You can pull a comprehensive set of agent metrics into one place—performance, solved rate, star ratings, SPH, etc.—without needing to chase it down in separate tools. The ability to export to Excel gives you control to slice and analyze the data how you want—even if it’s frustrating at times. You’re likely managing a lot of agents, and Tableau can handle large data sets, even if it’s not real-time. It's built for big-picture views across the team.

What do you dislike about Tableau?

Data lags behind, which means you can’t act on issues immediately. By the time agents see results (if they do), the moment to improve may have already passed. Even though you can export data easily, you have to spend time editing it in Excel—filtering, cleaning, formatting—just to make it usable. This defeats the point of an automated tool and adds to your workload. If data sources aren’t perfectly maintained, the dashboard can break or display errors, leaving you stuck or reliant on another team to fix it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Consitional formatting is a bit difficult in tableau, I have to individually change for each row and can't have selective rows/conditions integrated into it. Excel provides this in a better way.
