Very good at collating data and presenting with multiple graphs and layout. Best for daily reporting and checking stats.

It is excellent to have a variety of quantifiable metrics for our website. It helps us make business decisions about projects.

Would certainly recommend for it's value for money benefit.

There are many things about Data Studio I liked. I liked being able to make beautiful, fully customizable reports integrating data from multiple sources.

I love that is easy to use, it has great customization, and really easy share.

I loved the fact that there are templates for interactive web page dashboards that help shortcut visualizations and common display formats for data.

Ability to integrate with Big Query. Different charts that are available.

I like the interactive way you present the reports. An advantage of using Google products is that there is a large community that contributes with tutorials and experiences.

But once the reports are setup and all the metrics are tracking, the reports look beautiful and presenting results to a group or a team is a breeze.

It's a fast way to put together a visually appealing dashboard without a lot of the 'frills' of the bigger players like Power BI.

If you do not change the data sources when copying a report, if you change it later, the original report will also get affected which became a cause for embarrassment for us at one time.

Another great free tool from Google. Exciting to see how this evolves and compliments Google Analytics data with reporting.

There are still a number of functions which can be done in GA which are difficult or impossible in GDS.

Also, this tool have a perfect integration for reading data from Google Sheets.

I liked how this product was easy to use and navigate.

A great solution for non-essential dashboarding solutions.

Lack of metrics functionality and aggregations that you need to do from the query side. Also visual customization are really poor for graphs.

Can’t move files to Team Drives. Separation between data and visualization is confusing.

I really like it it is really easy to use and i love it and i dont really like how people try to use u for your money and try and scam you but other than that its really helpful.

It's relatively easy to use and helps effectively visualize data. All of our clients love the reports that we are able to put together for them.

Another cool thing is the range of features it offers to compete with all major players in the market but at such an impressive pricing.

The inability to leave comments is a bummer. Every other Google product you can leave comments and tag people.

But yes, Google Data Studio will deliver all info you need in a beautiful interface - don't worry. Good price, clear and light interface, access from any device.

Loved having the ability to add our data sources to create intelligent and aesthetically pleasing charts.

Being able to automate analysis because of the ubiquity of Google sheets connectors made this an incredible free option for a non profit organization.

It really is the poor man's business intelligence automation tool.

The Google share settings annoy me but that isn't specific to this program, just Google as a whole.

Very useful application, for what it is proposed. And its price is quite good for what it provides.

Google Data Studio has the ability to create your own visualization Community Visualization and ready-made reports can later be used as templates.

I also like the fact that one can creates his own visualisation. To have this level of customisation is quite impressive.

Ability to create custom reports from Google Analytics data. Ability to style/format reports as you wish - fonts/colours/graphics etc.

I really like it it is really easy to use and i love it.

Fantastic user interface. The data visualization functionality is very powerful and really helps tell the stories behind the data.

Its greatest strength is its flexibility to accept almost any kind of data and form them into displays with each other.

I helped integrate our project with tableau (embedded in our page html files). Overall a good experience with nice results and happy users.

I use this on a daily basis to check the stats of my surveys for my job. I love how convenient it is to see how great of a job I am doing for customers.

I love this software because its easy to pull in data from excel and create meaningful visualizations like stories and dashboards.

Have a good community support and documentations. It dose provide a 30days free trial on the tableau application, after which we need a product key.

Amazing and interesting its support and community support available online makes it more better then thought of.

Main business problems for using Tableau are analyzing metrics for daily operations, specifically failure rates and tracking completion.

There are some limitations (eg. email alert layout is extremely limited, you can only drag the date range filter as opposed to selecting dates). Some of our dashboards load very slowly.

There are great visuals right out of the box, and very clever interactions that allow you to drill down.

Great at helping us understand our clients better and using data more effectively.

Overall a high value application, with planty of options and gave me an excellent solution for a costum dashboard.

I for one use it to visualize our budget spend and how we're doing. It helps when creating presentations, no likes looking at numbers.

Tableau does lack functionality and is hard to use. There are scaling issues.

Tableau is one of the best business intelligence tools available in the market. The visual interface is really good and easy to use.

I loved the graphics and the ability to integrate large amounts of data. It gives tutorials right in the application so you can get assistance.

The support we pay for is almost worthless. We frequently solve the problem ourselves and it is time consuming to submit everything via their helpdesk with nothing to show for it.

Very powerful engine with capability to connect to varied data sources. It can be used to make some exceptionally amazing visualizations.

Overall experience is quite awesome This tool provides great insights from the data as we can use variety of charts to visualize our data.

If one is really skilled with the tool, complex visualizations can be created. I was thrilled to see a new feature that connects tables and was released in 2020, called noodles.

If a cheaper license is provided for small businesses, it will help lift improve its ROI. Tableau training was super helpful to me in grasping its user interface.

It is difficult to navigate and get started on the platform. Requires some training before you can be let loose on the platform and create your own reports.

In addition, there are large amounts of libraries of visualizations that you can use as inspiration (a great online community).

Working with Tableau has been a great experience. The time the implementation team took to help me out was great.

All in all, this is a great software with a lot of abilities to make an impressive presentation.

Some limited features/functionalities prevent you from doing basic things (such as formatting) or require complicated workarounds.

Reasonably priced, attractive graphics and ease of use is nearly unparalleled.

I dislike how it can be difficult to give end users access to the live updating dashboards that we do make through the software.

I love the interface of the dashboards and the ease of use once they are assembled. The dashboards are really cool.

Easy integration with existing data sources and nice charts analyzing all the data. Any one can understand without any prior training on the analyzed charts.

Tableau has great visuals, fairly intuitive UX, a big plus is the huge online community.

Love the ease of sorting through data and organizing into an attractive presentation.
