Tableau

Gartner Magic Quadrant

Gartner continue to position Tableau as a Leader, and had this to say in their annual Magic Quadrant for BI Analytics:

Strengths:

• Strong automated insights and data preparation features: Tableau’s robust automated insights and data preparation capabilities empower users to analyze data more effectively. Key features include Einstein Discovery for key driver analysis, Data Guide for correlation analysis, and Tableau Pulse for proactive tracking of trends and outliers across collaboration platforms such as Slack, MS Teams and email. Tableau also streamlines data blending and transformation for comprehensive analysis.
• Flexibility and scalability: Tableau supports flexible deployment across major cloud service providers such as Azure, Alibaba Cloud, Google Cloud and AWS. However, potential buyers should note that this flexibility is specific to Tableau Server when deployed in a virtual machine (VM) on another CSP, which can leverage Tableau LangChain for agentic capabilities. Tableau Cloud, the SaaS application, is solely available on AWS. Tableau also supports operations across data lakes, on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments, allowing organizations to use their existing data assets and respect their governance policies efficiently.
• Strong user community: Tableau customers frequently highlight the platform’s strong user community, service expertise, and product functionality and performance as critical factors in their decision making, according to Gartner Peer Insights reviews. Its community-driven knowledge sharing provides significant value, especially for new Tableau users. The community is an active partner in driving Tableau’s product strategy and innovation.
