What differentiates Tableau from other similar products?

We have tried many BI software, such as Microsoft's PowerBI or the Pentaho suite. PowerBI is very complete, and Pentaho has a very good Communitiy version. Tableau is a very well-rounded product, as it has many features, without being too many, and ease of use.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Dashboard generation is really simple, even using concepts such as OLAP Cubes, which allows us to build Dashboards whose queries are very fast.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The cost of the software is high compared to other options such as the Pentaho suite, but its simplicity of use and support makes it worth it.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Since Tableau allows us to use its free version, I recommend trying this version first, checking its features, building dashboards, etc. before purchasing the product.

Pros

Trustworthy
Fair
Helps Innovate
Continually Improving Product
