One of the best and the easiest softeware I've ever used.

Marvelous visualization, intuitive in use, no training required, auto-creating dashboards, sharing comments, etc.

Stories or presentations can be added, price should be revised, requirements for accommodating the engine on the server should be minimized.

While building visualizations, it took too long.

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.
