I absolutely love Tableau - I’ve been using it virtually daily for about 10 years. I feel like it’s been less and less widely-used since Tableau Software was acquired by Salesforce. At my org (and many others) leadership are pushing for PowerBI since it’s cheaper (get what you pay for in my opinion).
Just curious if anyone else is feeling this / what tools you’re exploring these days. I wish some open source project like Apache SuperSet would turn into a viable Tableau replacement but it’s just not the same.
My workplace is also pushing long-term for Power BI (and/or some kind of Amazon tool attached to an aws data lake), but you are right, it’s not nearly to the level of Tableau. My office will be sticking with Tableau for the foreseeable future.
I also have a lot of interest in the open source space. In addition to Apache SuperSet, I’m keeping an eye on the development of both Grist and Redash. Depending on community interest and support, I see these becoming potential open source alternatives to Tableau. I currently self-host Grist and am quite impressed with its potential.
