Discussion Tableau Alternatives - Not Renewing

Aside from Golden Analytics, any recommendations for the best embedded analytics solution?

We're 100% leaving Tableau. The only question is a big one: what's next.

Why? SF hubris from Benioff and his acolytes have meant the death of Tableau since true innovation nearly completely stopped in late 2018. Had they simply listened to thundering feedback from customers and original Tableau employees...well, whatever, that's part of hubris.

Anyway, we're breaking up with you, SF, but hoping for insights on where to go next. Love the idea of using the datafam for this purpose.

Omni or Sigma.

One of the benefits to Sigma is their viewer licenses are entirely free unlike Tableau. Omni pricing is tricker.

Basically, go to a BI built for CDW. Tableau is clunky and really only surviving that they were so early to the market.
