Overall Satisfaction with Tableau Online
It is a software, amongst others, offered by some departments for data sharing, visualization and promoting collaborations.
- Data visualization: a wide range of them available and pretty plots.
- Drag and drop: no need for complex coding.
- Real-time interaction with the data.
- Pretty expensive
- Inability for scripting could sometimes be a handicap
Spotfire can do similar things, but Tableau's plots are prettier in my opinion. However, if one needs to perform complex calculations on the data first, Spotfire can do it better than Tableau. So, it depends on the task at hand.
