PowerBI & Tableau together in one org.. Any examples?
Many thanks to all for your responses.
I've now been using both Tableau and PowerBI for the last week or so. I'd definitely agree with you about the shaping and modelling capabilities inherent in PowerBI - there's a lot in there, and for someone coming via the Excel route, it's fairly straightforward to pick up. Some aspects of Tableau aren't quite as intuitive as a long-time user might think, especially when you've gotten used to PowerBI.
However, what I didn't realise about Tableau is it's ability to let you 'play' and discover - it's got great visuals, sure, but what BI vendor's software these days doesn't? For the analyst Tableau's got the edge as it's actually the ease with which you can uncover "unknown unknowns" that they like.
With PowerBI I think you still need to have an idea of what you're trying to show - with Tableau you can stumble over something, so for an analyst it's a powerful tool. (Having said that, the "SandDance" plugin for PowerBI is touching on this sort of ease of discovery, and I'll certainly be bringing that up.)
Again - many thanks for the assistance on this topic.
Hi L33,
Power BI provide many built-in visuals and custom visuals for us to visualize data. You can take a look at links below:
