It seems to be having no integrated strategy towards BI. I have found you observations very useful.Ģ It is definitely a mystery why Microsoft with all its resources in terms of money and people is not investing in making a DV tool whether within Excel or out of it. Reply Deleteġ Thanks for sharing so many of your observations on the DV platforms. In any case, if you need to choose the DV tool now and connection to SSAS Cubes is the Requirement, you have only one choice - Tableau 7.0. I have a good news (rather rumor) for you but you will have to wait for a while: I guess/hope that the next version of Spotfire (4.x or 5.0 or 6.0?) will have the ability to interact with SSAS cubes. Links you provided are not completed and they only can help with multistage extraction of Data from Cubes when Data will arrive into Spotfire, all Cube infrastructure will be gone/lost. Yes I used the latest to compare: Tableau 7, Qlikview 11 and Tableau 4.0 (version of Tableau Server still 3.3.1)Ĭ. In addition internal Qlikview data structures (Columnar database and associative Queries) in Qlikview can be used to emulate the Multidimensional Cubesī. and that is LIMITED) but I saw very smart Qlikview developers were able to get data from SSAS cubes with sophisticated Qlikview Scripting. Qlikview will not inherit any cube infrastructure (dimensions, measures, KPI, etc. Kindly appreciate your valuable feedback.Ī. Going through some of the blogs in TIBCO community it is indicated that TIBCO can be connected to SSAS OLAP cubes through Application data services ( ) or through Linked Server Your assessment on Spotfire indicate none for Multi-dimensional. On Which version of Spotfire is the assessment done? (I can see that Tableau 7 and QlikView 11)Ĭ. And what do you mean by Limited for QlikView?ī. Your assessment on these tools indicate that for Multi-dimensional, Tableau is very good and QlikView is limited and Spotfire is None.Ī. Our current BI system is built on Microsoft BI suite with database on SQL Server and OLAP cubes on SQl Server Analysis Services and hence we are looking for DV to connect to SSAS OLAP cubes.
TABLEAU READER VS SERVER MANUAL
Our Organization is looking at DV tools to reduce manual efforts for reporting, improve operational efficiency, perform smarter analytics. It's indeed a very valuable information before investing on DV tools. Thanks for your post on the DV visualization tools comparison (Spotfire vs Tableau vs QlikView) on Basically conclusion is simple: each product is better for certain customers and for certain projects, there is no universal answer (yet?): Funny thing is that even I used 30+ criterias to measure and compare those two brilliant products, final score is almost identical for both of them, so it is still warm and fuzzy.

So I modified it a little to bring it up-to-date and you can see it for yourself below. Tableau here: named "The future of BI in two words" which made me feel warm and fuzzy about both products and unclear about what Ted's judgement is? Fortunately I had a more "digitized" comparison of these 2 Data Visualization Leaders, which I did a while ago for a different reason. Meanwhile today Ted Cuzzillo published an interesting comparison of Qlikview vs. How does your company handle this? (Note: we're a US-based company).Some people pushing me to answer on recent Donald Farmer's comments on my previous post, but I need more time to think about it. (3) Does anyone have experience with Tableau & GDPR? I'd assume that with the upcoming legal changes, we'd likely want to have an onsite server rather than the cloud, but I could be mistaken.


(2) Do we need to buy server licenses? If so, who will need them? Every user, or just the 3-5 power users? If we have a server, will Reader-users be able to access workbooks that were developed by the aforementioned 3-5 Tableau power users?

(1) Will these users require a paid license as well, or can they use the Reader? Then, we'll have an unknown number of users that will need access to said workbooks (C-Suite, exec level, etc.).
TABLEAU READER VS SERVER PROFESSIONAL
We'll have maybe 3-5 users that will actively develop vizzes (which, to my understanding, requires the $70/mo Tableau professional license). Long story short, I am trying to find a solution that works best for my company. Specifically, I never had to figure out licensing, since I was able to get a student license during my time in school. Truthfully, most of my tableau experience comes from BI classes during grad school, so there are many things I don't know/remember. When I say "expert", I mean that I have more experience using Tableau than any of my co-workers in marketing, finance, fp&a, etc., however, compared to everyday Tableau users, I'd consider myself a novice. My organization is (finally) considering Tableau, and as the designated Tableau "expert", I was tasked with exploring our options.
