Tableau is the world’s leading AI-powered analytics and business intelligence platform.
The Tableau platform provides the breadth and depth of capabilities to serve the needs of even the largest global enterprises in a seamless, integrated experience.
Speed and Ease: Better contextualized insights for everyone to make faster decisions. In Tableau, users can leverage the latest in generative AI models, AI-powered predictions, natural language querying, recommendations, and flows to uncover trusted answers to business-critical questions. Automatically discover simple solutions to complex business questions across the data lifecycle from preparation to actionability in other systems.
Deeper Analytics: In Tableau, people can create any data vizzes from tree maps to cohort analyses with a few clicks. More advanced users can connect to R or Python to extend their analysis even further to easily visualize model results. Non-technical users can ask previously unapproachable questions, while data scientists can iterate and discover deeper insights faster, yielding more valuable findings. Tab provides users with the ability to dive deeper into data questions at all data skill levels.
Trust, Compliance, and Governance: Tableau provides efficiencies of scale with solutions for the entire lifecycle as the trusted environment for your data and analytics — from connection, prep and data source management, data quality assessments and exploration to insights, decision-making and action. With the Einstein Trust Layer in our platform an org’s internal data is safeguarded with security guardrails from the product to our policies so teams benefit from Generative AI without compromising safety.
Flexible Platform: Tableau is flexible and fits into your existing tech stacks, instead of dictating it: SaaS/on-prem/hybrid with extensibility via mobile and embedded capabilities. Tableau connects to a wide range of data sources with out-of-the-box connectors, WDCs, and APIs. For Salesforce users, Tableau offers deep integrations into the Lightning Platform, Data Cloud, Slack, and other popular Salesforce technologies for additional value.

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).

Data Visualization

The overall experience is good. I have created many important visuals on the platform.
Pros
I think Tableau is up there when it comes to data visualization. One is able to create complex data visuals as one wishes. Secondly, one is able to perform arithmetic on the data as you create the visuals. Tableau is the best platform for data analysts and the whole business community.
Cons
When creating visuals, Tableau chooses the type of chart to use according to the type of data you have. For instance, one is not able to create a line chart unless data involving dates is used. This can be really annoying.

Although it integrates with many platforms and getting data into the system is easy, trying to manipulate and display that data compared to the likes of powerbi, I find difficult and cumbersome and wouldn’t recommend
Pros
Tableau integrated with a lot of other providers which was great for connecting data across the tech stack, and it easily allowed you to import data form excel or other files
Cons
The set up and learning curve was very difficult, the tool isn’t intuitive to use and setting up dashboards and real time reporting just felt very time consuming and difficult, never particularly got anywhere with it where I felt I was using it to its full potential.
