Amazing product for data preparation/ETL

What differentiates Tableau Prep from other similar products?
Tableau Prep is an amazing product, my organization uses Tableau and to prepare the data we were manually doing it with python but it took a lot of time to create the ETL pipeline and it wasn't user friendly for business users. So we moved to Tableau Prep which is a completely workflow based and no code tool. This has helped us create data pipe lines for multiple dashboard since it is very easy to learn and user friendly even for the business users. The performance and support to tableau products is better than other BI tools.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The feature to create data extracts directly as an output is great. Since we are able to publish that data source in Tableau server and we are able to connect directly and create amazing visualization.Also it has amazing features such as adding rows , aggregations , Script etc
What do you dislike most about this product?
Tableau Prep has a lot of bugs. I have been using 2020.3 and have tried updating as well. But the bugs didn't disappear but I am sure the engineers are working to fix this. But other than that it is a great data preparation tool
