A recent survey revealed that data scientists spend about 80 percent of their time on data prep, the same task three out of four respondents cited as the most boring part of their gig. Sounds like the "sexiest job of the 21st century" isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Nevertheless, helping professionals get through the oft-complex and tedious process of poring over data is the reason why Tableau exists. Founded in 2003, the Seattle-based software company streamlines the task of data analysis with a user-friendly platform that creates clean, interactive visualizations within seconds. Featuring a speedy drag-and-drop format and flexible sharing options, Tableau is simple enough to use within a small company lacking an entire data viz department, yet it packs enough power to handle even the largest organizations' projects. And not only that, but its charts, maps, and graphs are useful in a variety of industries, from media to hospitality to retail to finance—heck, even Chipotle is using Tableau.
