How to read the Emotional Footprint
The Net Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment towards particular product offerings. It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

Dashboards with heavy filters makes it freeze & lag which delays my work and hinders the business process.

Since tableau is a very powerful tool for visualization using multi source data I would say try tableau public first which is user friendly and free of cost where you can make & publish your dashboards on a public tableau forum and interact with other dashboards made by users and then plan for deployment if you are in a team.

User-Friendly BI Tool That Delivers Clear Insights
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Tableau from other similar products?
Tableau stands out because it鈥檚 easy to use yet powerful. You can quickly create visuals without being a data expert, but it still offers advanced features for deeper analysis. Its wide data connectivity and strong user community make it a reliable choice compared to other BI tools.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Exploring data is easy. The drag-and-drop interface lets me create meaningful visualizations quickly without needing to write complex code. Plus, the dashboards are interactive and look clean, which makes sharing insights with my team a lot smoother.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Tableau can get pretty expensive as you scale up, especially if you need a lot of licenses. Also, sometimes the learning curve can be steep for new users who aren鈥檛 familiar with data visualization concepts. A bit more built-in guidance or simpler onboarding would help.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you are thinking about Tableau, I would say it鈥檚 a solid choice if you want powerful, flexible data visualization that鈥檚 still user-friendly. Just be prepared for some upfront learning, especially for your team鈥檚 beginners. Also, keep an eye on licensing costs as your usage grows. But overall, it鈥檚 great for turning data into clear, actionable insights.
