I would endorse for corporation reporting, functions well with a huge database
Excellent for setting up planned reports, complicated reports can be accomplished with IBM Cognos Report studio.
Hard interface, particular features aren't logically positioned, and charts aren't excellent when downloaded into Excel.
Viewing and extracting data is good and creating visuals like graphs, charts, scatterplots, etc. is awesome.
While building visualizations, it took too long.
Incredibly functional software, latest model has excellent abilities plus the workspace inclusion.
Extremely poor customer support.
It is a bit difficult to learn and use.
Tableau presents your data in such a unique way that you can’t abandon yourself from falling in love with it.
It seems somewhat confusing at the start, especially, the mapping portion is very complex.
