What does Tableau still have over Microsoft Power BI at this point? In the beginning Power BI started out pretty weak compared to Tableau, but over a couple years they make huge investments and seem to even be ahead in some areas. For example, it used to be Tableau didn’t support 3rd party or custom visualization, although I haven’t checked recently if that’s changed. So much development effort is being poured into many of these competitors, any useful comparators have to be pretty new.

Looking at the Gartner report posted above[0], it appears that Power BI has problems with data volumes, support, and (IMO the biggest issue) is it's cloud-only. For some businesses, e.g. healthcare, the lack of an on-premise solution may be a showstopper.
