Tableau Software

Posted on Jun 5, 2007 by Registered CommenterTom in | Comments3 Comments

I've been recommending Tableau Software to clients for several years now. It's an outstanding tool that front-ends both OLAP and relational. The improvements in version 3 are substantial.

I used to think of Tableau as a highly specialized front-end, but that's no longer the case. Because of the broadened display capabilities, it should be widely applicable. 

Two shortcomings remain: lack of programmability and inability to deliver via web interface.

I wouldn't have posted what I posted if I didn't think so, as I am not a shill.

A good starting point is the vendor's web site: www.tableausoftware.com
