Tableau

A very powerful, affordable and easy to implement/adopt data mining tool. Very recommendable!All the elements needed for data mining and creation of reports that actually create intelligence in the business. Ability to slice all elements under a very easy to use interface (if you've used Excel's pivots, then you can use Tableau). Exporting ability and running is done in the background hence freeing the end-user.

There are times I wish you could do more statistical analysis in Tableau. They have some built-in components for this, but in my opinion, this is one of the weaker areas of the tool. I can't see the autosave feature anywhere, which is a very major drawback. Also, the application takes time to load sometimes.

Pros: Used it in my earlier company and the BI reporting was very easy. Plus the UI was pleasing.

Cons: Needs skills to use it.

Overall Experience: Great experience working with it. Business reporting is fun with it.

This is an amazing application which stands out for having a very balanced and dynamic design and interface, a huge graphic quality, fast performance, and efficient optimization, as well as having a range of tools that are very easy to use and complete.

Anyone will be able to make Pretty visualization without much prior experience and can decipher stories underneath data. It was really easy for me to pick up the tool and get on the speed. Great for visualizations but if you want a BI Tool for numeric/tabular reports especially for financial reports - you should probably consider some other tool. With that being said, it is totally worth the money for all other BI needs and seriously the best BI Tool available!
