Tableau is an innovative data visualisation software that lets you connects to nearly any data source, from spreadsheets to Hadoop. With its intuitive drag-and-drop design, Tableau brings data to life in a visually appealing and interactive way. Because of its versatility and its revolutionary approach, Tableau has been named a leader in Gartner's BI Magic Quadrant report for the fourth consecutive year.
