Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Desktop

I use Tableau as part of teaching business analytics at a university level.
  • Visualization
  • Data Filtration
  • Basic Data Cleansing and Mashup
  • Joining different data sets
  • Publishing to more formats
  • Increased flexibility to annotate visualizations
More flexible and easier to use than Lumira
SAP BusinessObjects Lumira
Best suited for visualizing data that has been properly cleansed, integrated, and prepared for analysis.
