If we look at Gartner's Analytics & BI magic quadrant from Feb 2019 (https://www.qlik.com/us/-/media/B0DCF50C816448EEAC8981B0238781B1.ashx https://www.qlik.com/

If we look at Gartner's Analytics & BI magic quadrant from Feb 2019 (https://www.qlik.com/us/-/media/B0DCF50C816448EEAC8981B0238781B1.ashx https://www.qlik.com/us/-/media/B0DCF50C816448EEAC8981B02387...) it becomes clear that Tableau(Salesforce) & PowerBI(Microsoft) are the driving force in the area. The move to buy Tableau likely comes from an interest in enhancing cross-compatibility between Salesforce+Tableau, the ability to provide a more robust service offering that can compete with Microsoft (e.g. If you buy our CRM solution, we will give you Tableau for a 25% discount) and a concern that another big player would have come in and taken Tableau.

I’ve used PowerBI but it feels extremely limiting if you have a coder background. Don’t know a single person who likes the BI tools that exists today and I’ve worked with a lot of BI people. I’m convinced BI people becomes coders solely because of the bad tools that exists today. Intelligent autocompletion, git and strong types? No! But here, have some drag and drop!

  PowerBI is not for developer. It's for Data Scientist/Business Analyst. Someone will come and build the dataset (or known as model) and the BA/DS can start building visualization that make sense to tell story about the company (or to tell the story about something). It's a whole different market/profession.

  PowerBI is working hard to accommodate developers - for instance, we now have the ability to create custom python visualizations (https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/python-visualizations-in-power-bi-service/ https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/python-visualizatio...)

    A great start! If you could export a PowerBI dashboard to python and back that would come a long way.
