### Pros

"the flexibility of calculated fields and LOD (Level of Detail) expressions, they let me build fairly advanced metrics without having to preprocess everything in SQL."

"The dashboard and visualization tools are simply mighty enough to transform millions of retail transactions into beautiful and easily readable daily sales reports."

"Tableau makes it easy to turn complex data into clear, interactive visuals. Once you understand the basics, building dashboards and exploring insights feels smooth and efficient, though some advanced features take time to learn."

### Cons

"Navigating on a mobile device is quirky and the flow is unforgiving."

"Now I am used to it, but I found in the beginning it was hard to navigate the setup of site. When we onboard new users I see them struggling as well when trying to learn all the features."

"Occasionally there is difficulty with linking to external data sources that slows down the completion of our tasks."
