Alternatives to Tableau
Enterprise data visualisation platform.

- What is Tableau?
- Tableau is a business intelligence and data visualisation platform from Salesforce.
- What does it do?
- Connects to databases, warehouses and files, then builds interactive charts and dashboards by dragging fields onto a canvas. Publishes those dashboards to a server or cloud site where colleagues filter and drill down.
- Who is it for?
- Analysts and BI teams at mid-size and large companies with governed data and many dashboard viewers. Heavy for a startup where a few people query the warehouse directly.
