How we score tools →

Tableau is the enterprise business-intelligence platform for turning messy data into interactive dashboards. UK finance, marketing, and operations teams connect to spreadsheets, databases, and warehouses, then build visualisations without code. Pricing starts around £55/user/month (Creator licence), with Viewer licences cheaper. It integrates with Snowflake, BigQuery, and Excel. GDPR compliance is covered under Salesforce's DPA. Tableau is powerful but pricey and has a learning curve — it suits UK companies with dedicated analysts. Lighter alternatives like Looker Studio or Power BI may fit smaller teams better.
