I have worked on domains like Telecom and Network where in I have been using Tableau. Its really liked by senior management as it shows each and every bit very clearly to relevant stake holders. For example, Marketing head likes region wise revenue sale dashboard which gives region/sales manager/product wise sale.
Pros
There are many features which lot of users would have liked:-
1. Connection to almost all database
2. Many types of Charts can be created including Sankey, Doughnut, Maps etc.
3. Its has the feature of data blending and data extraction
4. Dashboards can be viewed on multiple devices like tablet, mobile and laptops.
5. Its really fast while drilling down or filtering out from any dashboard.
Cons
Its a bit expensive tool as compared to other data visualization tools however its a value for money.

All-you-need tool for data visualization
Reviewed on 2022/01/07
Pros
The tool is an all-you-need data visualization solution. It allows presenting data both in graphic and tabular form. Filtering and ad-hoc queries on existing dashboard are relatively easy to use for everyone.
Cons
Setting up dashboard was quite complex and required at least BI analyst effort.

We were on 30 days trial. The trial was about to expire but things didn't work correctly. Tableaus aggressive onboarding team made me sign for a one-year contract anyway. They promised to support us until everything works. But that did not happen. So I talked to them. Someone seemed to understand and said, he'd cancel the invoice and give us another trial and hopes, thins will work. After a few months, it worked indeed. So we purchased again. But: we never got a license even we already paid. Statement: the old invoice needs to be paid. So although we have a written confirmation, that the invoice is cancelled, tableau didn't cancel and now we have no money and no license. Very sad company. The product might be great but the philosophy horrible.
Pros
Once you have your data ready in a way, tableau is able to connect, it's an easy to use tool.
Cons
There's supposed to be a web data connector between Filemaker and tableau. This is not working. Tableau sales representative do not care about it.

Tableau Review
Reviewed on 2021/12/02
Pros
The ease of use and availability of learning resources. Tableau is intuitive and you are able to understand how it works very early in your learning. When you do get stuck, Tableau has an amazing forum where other Tableau users are willing to help you learn.
Cons
The different licenses are available. I understand why there it needs to be depending on how much access your company needs. From our end, we have a bunch of different users that you need to be sure you are purchasing the correct license.
