The Problem

Why teams leave Tableau

Creator vs. Explorer vs. Viewer licensing is confusing and expensive

Salesforce acquisition brought price increases and ecosystem pressure

Server/cloud migration costs are substantial

Performance degrades with large datasets without optimization

Requires trained analysts to build and maintain dashboards

Data extracts and refreshes consume server resources
