How to choose

How to choose a Tableau alternative

  1. 1

    What drives the bill

    Compare the total cost with how your team uses reporting. Tableau's listed rates vary by role and are billed annually, with at least one Creator required. Check how many people need to create, explore or read reports, and whether that role-based bill suits your business.

  2. 2

    Who owns your records

    Check where your records sit and whether you can keep them in a database your business owns. An owned version keeps the records with your business, rather than making access to them depend only on a reporting service. Consider who should see the records too.

  3. 3

    Fit with your rules and fields

    Your measures, fields and review rules may not match a standard setup. Check whether the option can reflect how your business defines results, handles missing values, keeps source evidence and assigns follow-ups. Enterprise DNA builds your version around how your business runs.

  4. 4

    What switching involves

    A switch can involve more than bringing across exported records. Tableau downloads depend on your permissions, and filters affect what gets exported. Report layouts, calculations, permissions and connections need separate migration work. Reconcile the reports and totals you rely on before leaving Tableau.

The option that fits

A version built around your business

Business Metrics for Claude Code gives you the same records in a database your business owns, worked with in plain language using Claude Code. Enterprise DNA brings your Tableau data across, builds a version around your measures, fields and review rules, then runs it for you. There are no per-seat plans. Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. If you prefer to start yourself, a free version is available.

Questions

Tableau alternatives, answered

How much does Tableau cost for a business? expand_more

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. Your bill depends on the mix of roles your team needs.

Can our current Tableau reports move across? expand_more

Tableau exports can be mapped and reconciled into the owned version, but available downloads depend on your permissions and filters affect exported records. Report layouts, calculations, permissions and connections need separate migration work. Keep Tableau running until the reports and totals you need match.

Will an owned version replace everything we use Tableau for? expand_more

Start with the reporting workflow you 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 need to be scoped and built into your version before you switch.

What happens to per-person fees if we move? expand_more

The free version has no per-person software licence. Hosting, maintenance and any agent subscription remain separate costs. For your installed version, Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. That is not a per-seat plan.
