We are SMB company looking to implement a BI tool to provide operational dashboarding capabilities and possibly use the tool to consolidate our financial statements. Has anyone used Tableau that could share their experience? Ease of implementation, use and overall performance?
Does anyone have experience using Tableau?

Tableau is a great BI tool. I have been using Tableau for over 18 months and it is a great tool to perform visual analysis of your data. Tableau server works great for operational dashboarding, but would not be the best tool for consolidating financial statements. It can be done, but Tableau was not designed for financial statements. It has a lot of flexibility and implementation for analysis is very easy. However, it is key that all analysis through Tableau ties to current reporting at least at a high level.
