Easily the worst software i have ever been forced to use, in the corporate environment. Ive been in IT support for > 20 years. The whole concept of storing data connections within these tableau workbooks means you basically cannot copy workbooks between environments. So its useless for regulated environments. The overly complex user permissions, The incredibly unintuitive tableau desktop development environment.. the list of problems is endless . I could spin up a node webserver with express js and have a simple excel-like dynamically updated worksheet probably within a week. i have been fighting with tableau for over a month. I have already told my boss that i refuse to work with this product and find me something else, or i walk.
