Pros from Real Users Pros For our internal workflows and tooling, we now use retool for everything. It is super easy and quick to get our critical operations workflows built. Excellent support from their team too!		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Seamless and power-packed with tools. It is very generic and can be integrated with a lot of software. It gets frequent upgrades. The price is very decent. #1- Data collected from various sources gives us the best insights to analyze. #2- Salesforce connection is great. #3- Summarised Analytics gives very easy to understand and helps to take the best decision for business. Tableau offers a wide suite of visualization types and is quite powerful, sometimes even bypassing the need to do basic types of calculations (like ratios, you do that within Tableau so you don't have to calculate special columns in your spreadsheet). Clear interface for better visualization Simple to use - Drag & Drop Easily integrates with multiple data points Multiple graphical structures Great performance even with large amount of data Good documentation - The whole concept of drag and drop interface is quite novel and makes the software really easy to pick up and deploy. - Lot's of really interesting built-in and tested features that make the reports interactive. A lot of niche excel skills were needed to do this before. Cons It has limited tools for analyzing unsupervised data. Does not provide support for neural algorithms. #1- We enjoyed using this platform. No cons we ever faced. If your data is complex or irregular you do need to normalize the data and make sure each column's references don't break (i.e. referring to a cell in another book sometimes might cause problems). And the interface for Tableau isn't all that intuitive either, so expect to do some reading of tutorials. Oh and Tableau can be expensive if you're using it commercially. Expensive for individual license Advanced features require good amount of learning - It might not be so obvious initially but the software gets really expensive once you start deploying it in large teams. This makes it beyond reach for small businesses.
