Panorama Necto is advancing Business Intelligence 3.0 to the next level, bringing together the very best of Enterprise BI with Visual Data Discovery, providing enterprises with new ways to collaborate and create unique contextual connections.
Tableau is a tool for data visualization and business intelligence that allows businesses to report insights through easy-to-use, customizable visualizations and dashboards. Tableau makes it exceedingly simple for its customers to organize, manage, visualize, and comprehend data. It enables users to dig deep into the data so that they can see patterns and gain meaningful insights.
Make data-driven decisions with confidence thanks to Tableau’s assistance in providing faster answers to queries, solving harder problems more easily, and offering new insights more frequently. Tableau integrates directly to hundreds of data sources, both in the cloud and on premises, making it simpler to begin research. People of various skill levels can quickly find actionable information using Tableau’s natural language queries, interactive dashboards, and drag-and-drop capabilities. By quickly creating strong calculations, adding trend lines to examine statistical summaries, or clustering data to identify relationships, users can ask more in-depth inquiries.
Tableau has many valuable key features:
- Tableau dashboards provide a complete view of your data through visualizations, visual objects, text, and more.
- Tableau provides convenient, real-time options to collaborate with other users and instantly share data in the form of visualizations, sheets, and dashboards.
- Tableau ensures connectivity to both live data sources and data extraction from external data sources as in-memory data. This gives users the flexibility to use data from more than one source without any restrictions.
- Tableau gives many data source option, ranging from spreadsheets, big data, on-premise files, relational databases, non-relational databases, data warehouses, and big data, to on-cloud data.
- Tableau has a lot of pre-installed information on maps, such as cities, postal codes, and administrative boundaries.
- Tableau has a foolproof security system based on authentication and permission systems for data connections and user access. Tableau also gives you the freedom to integrate with other security protocols.
Tableau stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Some of these include its fast data access, easy creation of visualizations, and its stability. PeerSpot users take note of the advantages of these features in their reviews:
Romil S., Deputy General Manager of IT at Nayara Energy, notes, "Its visualizations are good, and its features make the development process a little less time-consuming. It has an in-memory extract feature that allows us to extract data and keep it on the server, and then our users can use it quickly.
Ariful M., Consulting Practice Partner of Data, Analytics & AI at FH, writes, “Tableau is very flexible and easy to learn. It has drag-and-drop function analytics, and its design is very good.”
Hi,
I’m afraid I don’t use SSAS however your colleague is right about Qlikview in that it uses its own OLAP framework.
Kind regards
Anita
If you are already using Microsoft SQL Analyis Services, you must be able to use the Microsoft BI Suite of tools to view the cubes.Every major vendor have their own suite of tools in the BI space.
My advice is Qlikview, is very powerful and not very complex to use, but you will need an IT guy with expertise and skills using and modeling with BI tools.
I've always used business objects. It's great because you can connect to so many different source systems and combine them in the reports.
We use Bime
Qlikview and Tableau are BI solutions , primarily analytical tools that provide insight. However for a complete solution a data warehouse and an etl toolset are required. If you are considering the 2 named vendors for BI then you will need to look elsewhere for the rest of the stack.
SAP offer a complete solution with Business Objects , Sybase IQ and Data Integrator. This is a fully integrated solution of enterprise quality and so well worth considering.
Kind Regards

You are right, QlikView and Tableau are complete solutions that includes ETL.
You can of course read a content of your cubes, but I think that better result you will receive when you will work directly with primary data.
You can load a free evaluation version of QlikView and test it at such pattern of your data and compare the result with your actual solution.
I am sure that user acceptance and satisfaction will be better with QlikView.
Similarly you can do the same with Tableau. I am not sure, but I think that Tableau has predefined ETL for SQL Analysis Services, so it could be easier to load data and build the test application.
Best regards,

We work extensively with QlikView and have had great success. With a team of 2.5 people we have built (according to Qlik) the largest Qlikview application across all industries in 3 months with no training and just using the Qlik demos as our learning tools. We current host our solution for our clients and they have instant access to over 10 billion rows of medical data.
We are in the process on adding a new version that will take this to a much more granular level with a lot more data. Check back in several months. We will be pushing 40-50 billion rows which is way outside anything Qlik thinks is viable but we have been on the bleeding edge before and are willing to push the envelope.
