Tableau Public vs. Whatagraph

Tableau public is the best platform to build dashboards for your personal profile and share with recruiters. It's always good to keep ourselves updated on the latest features, create sample dashboards and save them to a personal profile. Tableau public is free and doesn't need any subscription. anyone can create an account and start building reports.

Whatagraph is especially important and useful for client-facing reports, as well as internal optimizations and monitoring. Some of the data/widgets/AI don't reliably use the context I give them when generating reports, so that could be improved.

• Data visualization: lots of different options, including bar, scatter, pie, waterfall charts to explore relationships between variables, and to present findings/trends to different teams
• Integrates readily with limited, though different data sources: TXT, CSV, TDE, Access
• Exports reports for review of different dashboards: client-ready/team-ready, with a clean and tidy presentation in PDF format (or hardcopy)

• Allows us to customize data/reports to better explain to clients what's happening in their accounts. Its not a key event, its a conversion type.
• The graphs and charts always help show specific data, like demography or spend.
• A coworker said it works like Google's preferred UA, making it much easier to build tables, charts, etc.
• Joins/Blends have become SO much easier and let me combine data in the ways I need.

• Tableau Public (both Desktop and Server) like their "for a fee" counterparts offer very easy to learn and use tools to transform data into pictures and gain insights into your data. Most organizations report a reduction in development time of 10x vs. other similar tools, due to the intuitive user interface. That said, with Tableau Public, published workbooks are "disconnected" from the underlying data sources and require periodic updates when the data changes. Users are limited to 1 Gb of storage space per user ID and password as well.
• I would like to see better options for public sharing of visualizations and data from within the "for a fee" products as more and more organizations are moving in the direction of data sharing with partners and their communities.

It's free, right? I'll keep using the free version. So the real question to ask is this? Will I pay $999 for the Personal version or $1,999 for the Professional? Yikes! That is a big stretch. I'm not sure about that. The product comparison chart is at: http://www.tableausoftware.com/public/comparison

Tableau public is a great training tool to understand the basics of Tableau before buying it. A great tool to extend Excel's visualization and to publish data for others. Not useful for anything you need secure. No ability to access databases. Static information only.

I think anyone in digital marketing can use this platform to find good basic information. It's accessible for someone like me, who's looking for deep dives more often than not, but anyone with time can use it easily.

I found it sufficient, and fast. I could easily "kick the tires" with Tableau on my data so I got up and running fast.

Start at the end and work backward. Identify the business case / issue and questions the end users have, then identify the data needed, and where to get it.

Google Charts/Drive is sufficient for simpler data sets, but it does not integrate with other web platforms and the visualization does not look as professional. I'm not aware of any other competitors that offer the same package as Microsoft.

• I save so much time on monthly reporting using Whatagraph + ChatGPT. Like 30 hours a month, at least.
• Sometimes adjusting filters on already-built reports takes time because EACH filter must be adjusted per widget, rather than changing one shared filter.
