It is just great. Functionality, UX. What often stays underappreciated is the Tableau community. Even though the support far from being the best one (I guess company grew too big), one can always find the answers in the community or simply share a sample workbook and others will help.
Pros
I love almost everything about the Tableau. It is a pure joy to create and analyze report. The data visualization capabilities are simply the best on the market and it is so easy to use that it is just mind-blowing. One can connect Tableau workbook to almost any imaginable data source and in a matter of minutes create a great report.
Cons
It is really hard to think about the cons, but if it is really necessary then Tableau Prep can be quite slow if the file tend to combine more than three sources with the number of columns exceeding a 100. Even if the number of rows is fairly small (less than 1000).

I found it comfortable to use, the only notable drawback is its support which is paid. But the rest is very remarkable.
Pros
Most useful is being able to use the drag-and-drop function, which saves time creating data visualizations in a simple way. Analyzing the data is a plus, it can be done with filters or my favorite "trend analysis".
Cons
Tableau support is not free, you must pay for a plan to access it. And the stability issue itself is a negative factor as well, as it slows down for large amounts of data.

My experience with Tableau for general reporting and board meeting presentations has been outstanding. Its compelling visuals have significantly enhanced my ability to convey messages and sentiments during high-stakes reporting to senior stakeholders.
Pros
Tableau stands out as one of the most polished and visually appealing reporting tools available. The interface is impressive and facilitates a user-friendly setup experience.
Cons
Tableau is quite on the expensive side but is definitely worth the investment.

I really love using it for maps and interactive dashboards but I prefer to prepare my data in another software (Excel or Alteryx) before using it in Tableau.
Pros
I love its map functionalities - it's so simple to create a detailed map of locations of company X in country Y or locations of various companies in country Y on a heatmap with population density. You can divide your map by different categories, use different colours for different categories and it just has so many possibilities that it's really fun to use.
Cons
Connecting different data sources can be a little frustrating - you need to be careful with your file extensions and always double-check your data types.

Pros
I like the endless possibility of working with the raw data sets and making them easy-to-understand charts.
Cons
The system is a bit slow if you handle a large data set. Also, it is very complex, so it takes a lot of time to learn how to use it best.

Data exploration on steroids.
Reviewed on 2024-05-12
Pros
Its outstanding visualization capabilities, has appealed to me the most. The quality of my data visualization activity on Tableau is far superior to what I have gotten from substitute business intelligence or analytics tools.
Tableau's infusion of generative AI into my data visualization and analysis experience, enables me to integrate predictive modeling into my Tableau workflow, thereby improving the quality of insights I generate from my data.
Cons
Tableau comes with a steep learning curve and it is simply not for early stage data professionals. To learn to use Tableau effectively, a user must have had experience using lesser visualization platforms in the past.

My overall experience with Tableau remain good in terms of gaining a lot of knowledge on creating visualisations, making various types of charts for different types of data dimensions etc. Tableau gave me a start to my journey into data analyst and has enabled me to dive into huge datasets and create useful and meaningful charts on the data according to the requirements and also to improve my visualisations with time. In other words I learnt what type of chart is suitable for what type of data, how to show performance, efficiency as concept and also tableau provides a huge online community, resources and tools for supporting and developing various types of dashboards through tableau community.
Pros
Pro:
A) Data Visualisation Capabilities - great tool for data visualisation
B) self explanatory and intuitive
C) advanced tools provides
D) huge variety of visualisations can be created
E) ease of using large excel file and Combining them to use for visualisation
F) drag and drop features
G) story
Cons
Does not have much of cons but listing them as much as I know:
A) bit tricky when it come to work with date and time functions
B) some specific charts not available
C) cannot write sql queries directly into tableau
No statistical analysis possible
Sometime it is difficult to operate and navigate through calculated fields

The ease of use of this software is advantageous with respect to real estate, as it allows for the analysis of price trends, occupancy rates by zones, yields and much more. This has allowed us to obtain a greater economic benefit.
Pros
The best thing about Tableau is its limits, as it adapts to the needs of the organization. From small to large, the limits depend on the organization, not the software. And also the way the data is visualized is easy to understand.
Cons
While it can work with any type of data, it becomes optimal when working with structured data, so you must have staff capable of structuring the data into rows and columns or you will not be able to take full advantage of the software.

There is a limit on external images that you can import in your Tableau workbooks. Sometimes Tableau is quite slow when processing heavy tables.

Tableau gives you the tools to create whatever reports you need for your business. It is very user friendly, and we use it daily for pulling information from our cooperative software.
Pros
What I love about Tableau is how easy it is to quickly change, modify and filter reports to produce the exact data visualizations that you need. In the office, we use it a lot for simple reporting measures.
Cons
It might just be our software, but we are unable to change the visuals for our reports. Font style, size and colors are not able to be changed from our view, but it would be nice to have the option.

It is a market leader because of its foothold and community. Not a bad option for teams but competitors have caught up and passed them.
Pros
Customization options were nearly endless with time and resources.
Cons
User adoption was difficult because it was not as intuitive as other products. Seemingly easy visualizations were quite difficult to set up resulting in time spent figuring out seemingly basic options where that time could have been spent elsewhere.

Overall happy, and willing to keep using Tableau and learning more.
Pros
Tableau is an easy tool to use and learn. Depending on the complexity of data projects and reports, Tableau can be considered a flexible tool that can transform data into insightful charts. Its web blog and public catalog have a lot of help, ideas, examples, answers, and solutions to problems which proved to be very helpful on a lot of occasions.
Cons
The challenging part is that sometimes I get outcomes that are different from what is expected in terms of values. It is difficult and sometimes time-consuming to debug and understand how Tableau reached these values and errors.

I used it first as a user viewing data in a retail environment. Reports were easy to keep updated and the data viewing choices meant different managers were able to customize the look of their data.
Now I have used it creating reports for myself. I enjoy using it more than salesforce reports as I get that extra level of customization and think that it simply looks better.
Pros
The customization of your dashboards is unparalleled.
The tools to get started help anyone, even those with basic or no sql skills to be able to put together basic reports.
No better solution in my opinion for being a hub for KPI tracking across a company.
Cons
The learning curve is steep.
Imported data needs to be clean or you are going to struggle with larger datasets but that is true of all data visualization tool.
