"There’s a lot of room to expand end-user deployment of BI and other analysis software, and Tableau’s new offerings strip away some key barriers to that goal. Very easy to deploy and relatively smooth to use, this model is like no other BI product, and it will make many shops rethink the way they roll out BI. "

"From the moment I saw it, I was impressed with Tableau. Data driven decision making is at the core of the quality movement in hospitals and Tableau enables us to literally see our data and discover important patterns and trends quickly and efficiently.

Kaleida Health

"Tableau’s simple and intuitive interface enables Kaleida Health to make sense of the more than 1 million patient encounters we have per year while identifying outliers, trends and opportunities that had previously remained hidden in the data, allowing us to drive positive changes in health care to the community we serve. Tableau’s effectiveness in improving our business processes was immediately evident upon deploying the technology. We’re now able to discover trends and patterns in our data that were impossible using other tools."

"’The whole point (of analytics) is to use the data to make better decisions.’ And that, (Professor May Holcomb) said, is what Tableau has allowed students to do, by making data manipulation far easier. ‘With Tableau, you just click and drag....

"Tableau is by far the easiest to use for beginners, as it is highly intuitive, and allows you to easily manipulate the data in a user interface, rather than coding SQL statements (although you can do that, too). From my perspective, it encourages creativity and data exploration among people who might not be predisposed to using it."

Jon Boeckenstedt - Associate Vice President for Policy and Planning

Kaleida Health

"The hardest part (about using Tableau) was continuously pushing myself and my team to think out-of-the-box in terms of how best to present the data visually. I had been so used to presenting data in a bar chart or line chart format (as those were the limitations of spreadsheet graphing tools we had used), that my team had to learn to think creatively about the story we were trying to tell (or to discover) and break the mold on how we had been doing things for the past decade or so before we used Tableau. It takes a different mindset, but once you break old habits, the process of analysis and discovery becomes fun again once the focus is on insights gained, as opposed to heavy lifting of manipulating and staging the data to be graphed in a traditional spreadsheet."

Dan Gerena - Director

Tableau is another service that takes charting to a whole new level...The amount of control you get and the intuitiveness can put Excel’s charting to shame any day. You can easily edit the Axis labels, the scale, colors, shapes being used in the charts. In fact there are so many options that mentioning them here in a sentence or two won’t do justice to the application. That being said, it is just as easy to use the default options and create charts and graphs quickly.

Few of the many users I’ve listened to have used that word—it’s not really “professional”—but I recognize in their stories that same devotion and respect I’ve felt for well-designed, simple and responsive machines that speed you along to wherever you want to go. Imagine it: an inexpensive piece of software that digests whatever data you feed it, that you can learn quickly, and that then helps you reveal the data’s story the way we all understand it best, visually. What you realize at a glance is often surprising, gut-wrenching or thrilling."

“I REALLY don't like to sit through software training. I usually prefer to root around for myself and figure it out on my own, at least initially. But I really haven't had time or much luck doing that with Tableau, so I decided to just bite the bullet, put on the headphones and shut off everything else for an hour and watch the introductory training video.

I have to say it was WONDERFULLY helpful. Stuff that had me stumped, I get now. The presenter was organized, clear, and did a great job. I'm anxious now to start working with my own data to see if I can do the kinds of things in the video, then I'll definitely be hopping onto the next-level training video... I'm so excited to finally have Tableau to work with!”

“Data validation and user testing are often difficult and time-consuming phases of large IT deployment projects. But in our case, we used Tableau and it was a lifesaver. It helped us mine our validation and user testing data rapidly so we could literally see quality and consistency issues. Instead of wasting days manually sifting through mountains of exception reports our teams were able to validate the integrity of the output data in minutes. Yes, Tableau is great for users to analyze in-production databases but IT teams can benefit by using it to analyze and diagnose databases before they go in-production.”

“The basic problem with most business intelligence applications is that they are too difficult to set up and use. As a result, IT people spend a massive amount of time and money setting them up only to find that a very small set of the end user population has the skills to master the application. The good news is that providers of business intelligence applications are starting to make some progress on the problem. Tableau Software is rolling out a 4.0 release… What all this amounts to is a major step in the right direction towards developing the next generation of business intelligence applications.”

That can turn thousands or hundreds of thousands of records into simple, colorful charts that highlight data patterns by region, date, product, numbers--virtually any way the user decides.

Ultimately the analytical report solution will be at the fingertips of our end users. We selected Tableau as our main solution for developing custom dashboard and analytical reporting that will access our data warehouse and publish to a report portal accessible via a secured website. We have a predominately nontechnical user base that will require analytical reports and dashboards to be user friendly and yet analytical enough to be able to dynamically interact with the data."

Though Omniture's data is exhaustive, the visual analysis and ad hoc capabilities as well as the ability to compare two nominal variables are really poor. Tableau enabled me to do that in seconds. I took the Omniture data, exported it to a huge Excel file I created, and then performed the analysis."

“The world will be at Tableau’s doorstep soon enough… If I had to boil down all the stories I’ve heard so far from users about Tableau software, it would go like this: We heard about it or found it somewhere, perhaps by chance. We had data to analyze, and someone said let’s try that visualization thing you have. Wow, in a day or so we had figured out something astounding about the data. We’ve been using it ever since.”

"Tableau is designed to make it very easy to see the results of changing one data element at a time, for example to find whether a particular variable helps to predict an outcome.

"Hopefully Chabot will be proved right in his prediction that Tableau will be the new Acrobat in the next 5 to 10 years. From personal experience with using the product, I think if there’s a product out there that is on the cusp of achieving this, then that product is in fact Tableau."

“People using Excel PivotTables for analysis take note. If you use Tableau once, you’ll never use an Excel PivotTable again. Tableau is great for analysis and even makes the work fun.”
