Instead of Tableau

Stop renting Tableau. Own your business reporting.

We build your reporting around the measures you run the business on, bring your Tableau exports across and run the system for you. Agree what each number means, see what changed and keep the action beside the result.

Tableau Enterprise lists Creator at AUD161, Explorer at AUD98 and Viewer at AUD49 per user per month, billed annually. At least one Creator is required. Taxes are extra and final pricing can differ.

What the subscription buys

Three roles. A recurring bill to create, explore and read.

Tableau prices its analytics service by role and edition. For a business using it to review a monthly scorecard, the useful starting point is the reporting work itself: definitions, results, comparisons and decisions.

edit

Creator licences

Enterprise Creator lists AUD161 per user per month on annual billing. These are the people building the analysis and preparing the reporting workflow.

search

Explorer licences

Enterprise Explorer lists AUD98 per user per month on annual billing. People who explore the shared analysis sit in a separate licence role.

visibility

Viewer licences

Enterprise Viewer lists AUD49 per user per month on annual billing. Reading and interacting with shared dashboards is also a licensed role.

calendar_month

An annual commitment

The displayed monthly rates are billed annually. Compare your renewal with the reports people actually use and the decisions those reports support.

admin_panel_settings

An edition with administration

The Enterprise edition adds administration and data-management capabilities. Identify which access, source and governance requirements your owned version must meet.

dashboard

A visual analytics service

Tableau supplies visual analysis and dashboard tools. Your monthly operating review also needs agreed definitions, source evidence and accountable follow-ups. Those records can belong to you.

Your owned reporting desk

A number is useful when someone can explain it and act on it.

Definitions

Agree what each measure means

Keep the owner, calculation, unit and review date with the result.

  • check Separate currency, counts, hours and percentages.
  • check Record whether higher or lower is better.
  • check Keep a named owner for every definition.
  • check Review personal-information measures against their recorded purpose.

Results

Compare without disguising gaps

See the latest result and its target by month and segment. Missing values remain visible.

  • check Show zero separately from an absent result.
  • check Calculate percentages from the underlying counts.
  • check Keep each region and reporting month separate.
  • check Show the previous observed month beside a change.

Evidence

Know what was included

Preserve the source, filter scope and original imported records with the reporting history.

  • check Keep the original export and extra source columns.
  • check Check a sample import before loading it.
  • check Skip unchanged source rows without adding them twice.
  • check Stop a changed-row import for reconciliation.

Decisions

Keep the follow-up beside the number

Join performance results to your own review deadlines and actions. The question can include what happened after the report.

  • check Show stale results beside overdue follow-ups.
  • check Assign an action with an owner and due date.
  • check Preserve the old target when agreeing a new one.
  • check Produce review papers and action briefs in your brand.

Switching

How to switch from Tableau

A move usually involves exporting the records your account allows, mapping them to monthly measures, and reconciling both systems before you retire Tableau.

  1. 1

    Export the records you need

    Export what your account allows, usually as CSV or Excel, and check with Tableau if you are unsure about export options or permissions. Choose the monthly result data, segments and periods you need to carry across. Review the filters before exporting because they affect which records are included. Keep track of the export scope so you can check what the data covers.

  2. 2

    Map and test each measure

    Prepare a flat CSV and match its date, segment and value columns to the fields for each measure. Include a source key where available, and numerator and denominator fields for ratios. The free import handles one mapped measure at a time. Run its test option before loading records, so you can review the proposed import and correct the mapping first.

  3. 3

    Review the import checks

    Check the test-run findings and source-row details before loading. Identical batches do nothing, unchanged source rows are skipped, and a changed existing source row stops the whole batch. Remove unnecessary personal data before importing because extra columns and the original CSV are kept in the database. Resolve flagged rows and confirm the export scope before you proceed.

  4. 4

    Compare both systems

    Keep Tableau and the new database running side by side for a short period. Reconcile every period and segment you plan to use, and check that each measure has the right definition and source scope. Investigate differences, including missing results versus zero, and confirm that the reports and totals you require match. Matching totals do not prove that the source data itself is correct.

  5. 5

    Switch off Tableau

    Retire Tableau only after the required reports and totals match and your team has checked the new reporting workflow. The base system is for monthly measures, targets, source evidence and follow-up actions. Workbooks, calculations, permissions, schedules and connections need separate migration work. If you rely on interactive exploration, live connections or staff access, scope and build those requirements before you switch.

Where the real effort goes

The main work is mapping your own fields, definitions, filters and business rules, then choosing how much history to bring across and reconciling it by period and segment. Workbook layouts, calculations, permissions and connections need separate migration work. When you have Enterprise DNA run it, they map and reconcile your Tableau exports and build your definitions and rules.

Questions

Instead of Tableau, answered

Are we replacing all of Tableau? expand_more

Start with the reporting workflow you actually need. The free version holds monthly measures, targets, source evidence and follow-ups, with branded reports. Interactive exploration, live connections, workbook calculations and staff access are requirements we scope and build into your version before you switch.

Can you bring across our existing reports and history? expand_more

We map and reconcile your Tableau exports. Available downloads depend on your permissions, and filters affect the records exported. The free import loads one mapped measure at a time. Report layouts, calculations, permissions and connections need separate migration work. Keep the current service until the required reports and totals match.

How do we know the numbers are right? expand_more

Keep the definition and source scope beside each measure, then reconcile every period and segment. The free version separates missing data from zero, uses underlying counts for percentages and stops imports that change an existing source row. These checks support review. They do not prove that the source itself is correct.

What happens to the per-person charge? expand_more

The open-source base has no per-person software licence. Hosting, maintenance and any agent subscription remain separate costs. Enterprise DNA agrees a setup fee and then a retainer for your installed version. Team access is designed around who should see which records.

Can the reports look and work the way our team expects? expand_more

Yes. The free version produces read-only reports and review papers in your business name and colours. We build the screens, interactive views and connections your team needs around the owned records. Personal-information and access requirements are reviewed as part of that work.

Bring the Tableau bill and one report you rely on.
