We only have one license because of the cost. This means that only one user can edit reports, etc. This makes it very difficult as the user who runs the daily report isn't necessarily the user who we would want to create new reports or edit existing ones. More than one license is too expensive and working with a single license is annoying.
Pros
We use it mostly to create a daily report. Once it is setup, modifying the dated is simple enough to produce the same report daily.
Cons
It is very slow when trying to modify an existing report to add something new. Takes many minutes to load after each additional join. Takes a very long time to create new reports. Also, I would like to see the SQL that is being run in an easier way (currently can edit the log files and find it, but very annoying and difficult to find the queries in a text editor)

My overall experience with Tableau has been good. There are plenty of features that I know how to use, and many more that I am still learning. I learn something new about the software everyday.
Pros
I like the flexibility in presentation and in data preparation and the beautiful data analysis features to Tableau.
Cons
Tableau has a learning curve that similar pieces of software don't have. It is not ideal for the beginner data analyst.
