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.

The cost is rather steep, but I understand the limited market and massive development costs.

Very intuitive software. I really like the fact that it is used on an iphone app.

Great features, easy to use, great quality, and customer support is excellent.

I like its easy to use interface and display layout. The reports it is able to produce are also really useful and easy.

It is by no means bad, but I find I need to use another gps to accomplish everything I would need a gps to do. The gps functionality is limited to the inventory.

It has everything you need in a forestry software  and the fact that you can use it on a device like and iPad of iPhone  that you can use outside of forestry makes it that much more useful.

Keeping up with FileMaker and program updates that change the page layout and some of the formatting is a minor inconvenience.

Easy to customize data collection. Excellent customer support.

Great product for a reasonable price. The fact that it is an app on the iphone means I don't have to purchase an additional hand held data collector.

It is very simple to use and accomplish all of my goals and it is a very good  program to use. Very nice user interface on a big screen.

Any issues have been easilly rectified with customer service. Makes it hard when out in the field and experience an issue.

You can make really attractive, professional-looking websites without much design experience. They have some really good templates.

I am old school so the software is capable of doing more than I probably need but still a great tool.

Consulting Forester for 4 years. I consider it an excellent investment.

Ve had a great experience with Tig and the rest of the staff at Forest Metrix. They’re very responsive when any issues have come up.

It is currently difficult to collate non-tree data from sample points. Exporting photos is difficult and they aren't tagged by plot.

Ease of use for inclusion of graphs and tables into forest management plans.
