Easy to learn

•••
You don't have to be super techy to understand it. You can learn how to use Desktop over the course of two days.

Top Con

Addictive

•••
Once you start using Tableau you don't want to use any other software anymore. So if your manager is obsessed with e.g. Excel, you may have issues.
