What are Data Visualization Tools?

Data visualization tools like Tableau, QlikView and Tibco Spotfire are designed for data analysts and technically-oriented business users. The focus of these tools is primarily ad-hoc analysis of multiple data sources by business users and analysts. These tools provide data analysts with an intuitive way to more easily visualize large volumes of data to graphically expose patterns and outliers hidden in the data.

Data visualization tools replace the traditional rows and columns of traditional data presentations with graphical pictures and charts. This view is ideal for early-stage analysis on data that can’t be interpreted by looking at the raw data, usually because the datasets are too big. Data visualization tools allow users to identify patterns visually before conducting more rigorous analysis.

These tools have been very successful, largely because of the low cost of implementation and because they do not require IT support. Ease of use is another key feature encouraging adoption. Visualization tools allow end users with some comfort level in data analysis to access multiple different data sources and display the results in visually compelling ways. They also attempt to minimize the amount of prior analytics knowledge the end-user needs to surface basic insights and business intelligence.

Data Discovery & Data Visualization

Data visualization capabilities are often found alongside data discovery capabilities. However, more specialized tools have also emerged to serve each distinct use case. Data discovery tools focus more on centralizing data accessibility across disparate sources. In contrast, visualization tools focus on the actual graphical analysis of said data. Business Intelligence platforms that emphasize self-serviceability unify the entire pipeline for organization-wide visibility into data and actionable business intelligence.

Free & Open Source Data Visualization Tools

There are a range of free, freemium, or open source data visualization tools. Many of the leading data visualization products, such as Tableau or Microsoft Power BI, have free versions for personal use. These can be helpful for individual power users that are not as concerned with data privacy or broader organizational use. However, Most organizations will need to pay for licenses, or take on more maintenance costs in the case of open source tools, in order to leverage a given tool across the business.

Data Visualization Features & Capabilities

  • Pre-built visualization formats (heatmaps, scatter plots, etc.)
  • Location analytics / geographic visualization
  • Predictive analytics
  • Support for machine-learning models
  • Pattern recognition and data mining
  • Integration with R or other statistical packages

Data Visualization Tools Comparison

When comparing different data visualization tools, consider these factors:

  • Automated Insights: Many data visualization vendors advertise some kind of AI capabilities, but the effectiveness of these features will vary. Consider whether each tool will automatically surface insights based on the data being analyzed and make intelligent recommendations, as well as whether it can generate visualizations based on natural language queries.
  • Point Visualization Tool vs. BI Platform: Is the business’s specific need for a tool to easily and quickly visualize data for reporting, dashboarding, and presentations? Or is there a need for more advanced business intelligence and insights? A point solution is likely ideal for the first use case, while a broader BI platform may better serve the second situation.
  • Native Data Integrations: Does each product have prebuilt pipelines from your commonly-used data sources? This will greatly reduce the costs of implementation and maintenance over time if so.
  • Freemium Options: Do you need a visualization tool for personal or individual use, or is the product for the broader organization as well? In the former case, consider free or freemium versions of products that can save costs for individual users.

Pricing Information

Data visualization pricing is usually per seat, per month. Vendors will also offer different tiers of pricing that unlock more advanced integrations with data sources, white glove support, and other features more valuable for larger organizations. On the other end, some products also offer free or freemium versions for individual users.
