All-you-need tool for data visualization
Reviewed on 07/01/2022
Pros
The tool is an all-you-need data visualization solution. It allows presenting data both in graphic and tabular form. Filtering and ad-hoc queries on existing dashboard are relatively easy to use for everyone.
Cons
Setting up dashboard was quite complex and required at least BI analyst effort.

Esperienza estremamente negativa
Reviewed on 23/11/2021
Pros
No comment, non vedo particolari vantaggi se non che non trovo competitor
Cons
Dopo il periodo di prova ti annullano l'account perdi tutto il lavoro di setup fatto, non ti vengono incontro.
Inoltre per attivarlo dopo aver sborsato 800 euro è complicatissimo.

Tableau Review
Reviewed on 02/12/2021
Pros
The ease of use and availability of learning resources. Tableau is intuitive and you are able to understand how it works very early in your learning. When you do get stuck, Tableau has an amazing forum where other Tableau users are willing to help you learn.
Cons
The different licenses are available. I understand why there it needs to be depending on how much access your company needs. From our end, we have a bunch of different users that you need to be sure you are purchasing the correct license.
