   Powerful Data Visualization Tool with a Steep Learning Curve

   I’ve used Tableau to analyze and present data for business reporting, and its strength is clearly in visualization. Turning raw data into interactive dashboards is fast once you understand how the tool works, and the end results look polished and professional.

   However, getting to that point isn’t instant. New users may struggle with calculations, data modeling, and performance tuning. Licensing costs are also high, which can be difficult to justify for smaller teams or individual users.

   Tableau works best for organizations that rely heavily on data-driven decisions and can invest time and budget into analytics. It’s not the easiest or cheapest option, but the output quality makes it worthwhile

• Ask HN: How do you sync ongoing brwoser work between desktop and laptop?

  Before, I used to use a Chrome (now Firefox as well) plugin, named workona [1]. This was great if it worked properly all the times. But it doesn't, it's quite buggy. Then, Edge added workspaces and tab syncing and, well, it works great... But I really dislike Edge. Starting by the CTRL-TAB shortcut that simply doesn't work as intended (I know there are some hacks around it, but they are hacks, and don't work as... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Arc Will Change the Way You Work on the Web

  You mean like Workona? This browser sounds a lot like their extension https://workona.com. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• Mega list of extensions for making the internet less distractive

  - Workona for tab management. I used this a few years ago with reasonable success; only stopped because I didn't need it badly enough at the time. I've been struggling with tabs lately and remembered it yesterday; I've reinstalled it and I'm very pleased so far. I'm a web developer and like to hop between projects, and for each thing I'm doing, I keep a million tabs open... And now that I have a hybrid work... Source: over 4 years ago

• It feels like that sometimes

  This is the main reason I pay for https://workona.com . All tabs get auto-saved. Source: over 4 years ago

• Looking for an app that may save windows arrangement with specific apps and chrome urls and multiple monitors?

  I'm pretty sure that there won't be one single app to solve it all so I'm gonna try to address the Crome part. For that, you can use Workona or Cluster. Source: over 4 years ago

• Tableau Certified Data Analyst Exam Readiness

  Hey everyone, I'm interested in taking the Tableau Certified Data Analyst Exam Readiness course through tableau.com to prepare and get Tableau certified. I had some questions about the course, such as are the videos pre recorded or in person, do you have access to the material once the 90 days expire, and I was also wondering if anyone had input/advice for this course. Thanks! Source: about 3 years ago

• Where to publish knowledge sharing on Tableau reverse engineering and data dictionary generation?

  Could anyone recommend what media I should approach to publish my work (internet or print). I could try the Tableau forum in tableau.com but it's not very active + Tableau may be unappreciative as my work overlaps with their (pricey) data management solution. Plus it needs to be some high visibility / reputable media to count for my career development. Any recommendations welcome thanks!!! Source: almost 4 years ago

• I have huge loads of data in Redshift. How can I make this available to end-users after performing few procs and queries? It should be available online.

  Tableau public: tableau.com. Big player but your data will be made public and not really user-friendly data model. Source: over 4 years ago

• What tips do you have on evaluating various BI tools for business needs? What are the essential criteria's you would include when evaluating different tools? The goal is to have an unbiased, objective approach.

  For example, we have a project to compare Tableau, Power BI, and InetSoft. The need for strong pagination-based email delivery eliminated Tableau. AWS's Linux instance is the targeted platform which makes Power BI less than ideal. Source: over 4 years ago

• Anyone go into Data Analytics after this program?

  I just started learning Tableau because our dept is transitioning into Tableau from Power BI. Since I already have years of experience with Power BI I just went over their tutorials from tableau.com and got onboarded pretty quick. I'm still learning it but I'm at least able to build out reports and get things done. Its not too difficult to pickup one BI tool when you have experience with another. Source: over 4 years ago
