Just to offer a different opinion: I know a lot of people who have been switching away from Tableau or not choosing it and using a different solution (or multiple) instead


I evaluated 15 different similar solutions and trying to settle on one. Curious as to what your friends are switching to.


I've been meaning to write a blog post about this actually. Maybe I'll actually do it :)

I guess it depends what you're trying to do. What part(s) of what Tableau offers do you care most about? How big of an organization?

Chart.io is one product I evaluated that met our requirements. We cared most about collaborative querying and the ability to run templatized reports (including regenerating them via the API) so we ended up going with Mode Analytics


Did you look at Looker or PeriscopeData? +1 on that blog post comparing the different options.
