It has a lot of features whereas some smaller types of products have very limited functionalities. Some options though have a much easier way of sharing/introducing new users, while for Tableau some extra configuration is required.
Pros
The best feature is the data visualization aspect of it; the tool can pretty much do and extract whatever analysis needed from the database.
Cons
Tableau is a tool that needs a great technical background for working on - without some extensive training there could not be multiple users in the organization. The level of investment is as any other data visualization tools, so depending on how much the tool will be used and how many users the company has, it might be a big financial investment.

Overall I do not miss using Tableau. It had a lot of features and add-ons that you could use but many of them served in a limited capacity.
Pros
Honestly, the KPI management was the main thing we used Tableau for and it worked well but the system had many bugs and issues. The data that it put together once it was going was beautiful but the time and energy to get it to that place was tricky.
Cons
The system was so easy to break or go down. Anytime we integrated a new data plug it would always take a while to populate the data etc.

Overall, great! I’ve introduced Tableau to numerous clients, and they’ve all been extremely pleased.
Overall, great! I’ve introduced Tableau to numerous clients, and they’ve all been extremely pleased.
Pros
Visually compelling, easy to use software. Great online support, both through Tableau and other users of their product. 12+ year user. I absolutely love it.
Cons
My only complaint is the inability for pixel perfect, PDF printing. Personally, I don’t print things. BUT a lot of people still do. The lack of functionality requires us to be more than a one stop shop.

I was using Powerbi desktop before but it couldn't handle a large amount of data, whereas Tableau can handle a large amount of data very well and it is fast. Tableau viewer monthly plans are budget-friendly. I really love using Tableau
Pros
It is very much easy to implement and the dashboard is quite decent. Very efficient software for businesses in terms of reporting
Cons
Tableau creator monthly plans are a little bit high. Customer support needs to be improved.
