Comprehensive Data Access and Visual Dashboards Hindered by Sluggish Performance Issues

One of the biggest strengths is the ease of use when building dashboards and exploring data. The drag-and-drop interface is intuitive and makes it quick to create meaningful visualisations without a huge learning curve. It's also very flexible in terms of how you can structure data and build calculations, which allows for more advanced analysis when needed. Performance is generally strong, and it handles reasonably complex datasets well. It's also a very polished product overall, with a consistent and reliable user experience.

My number one complaint is that Tableau is incredibly slow. The more data you add to the dashboards, the slower it gets. And then if you want to use drop downs to switch views and toggle or re-sort data, it becomes nearly unusable. We are on Tableau Cloud, and toggling data and loading most dashboards takes anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. This is painstakingly long to try and work with any of the data analytics.
