"The level of interactivity that the product provides is valuable to me."
"Its performance is pretty good, and the development time is very low."
"The solution is being delivered to our customer, who appreciates the insights generated from the reports. It is easy for them to drill into the details and use interactive charts."

"The most important feature in Tableau is visual analytics."

"The tool needs to improve its pie charts. Regarding Plotly, I find the online documentation somewhat challenging to navigate, especially when dealing with many parameters. Searching through thousands of parameters can be a tedious and less straightforward process. While the documentation is available online and serves its purpose, I often encounter difficulties in finding the information."
"I would like Tableau Prep to be integrated with Tableau Desktop. I would also like more customizations for tables."
"The solution does have scalability issues."
"The pricing is a bit higher than the competition. They'll need to lower it to stay competitive."
"If you wanted to create something without making it an extra column in the data set, you can't just rename it to a more user-friendly short name."
"From a downside perspective, some of the more advanced modeling techniques are actually fairly difficult to do. In addition, I just fundamentally disagree with the way you have to implement them because you can get incorrect answers in some cases."
"Tableau has so many functions, so sometimes it's hard to find the right solution quickly. I have to search multiple menu bars to find the right command."
"The product needs to allow for better ways to drill down more effectively on the information at hand."
"The user experience for less savvy or non-technical people (from my experience)."
