Unfortunately having tried Superset, Domo, Tableau, and others everyone is still far behind Tableau despite the performance of Tableau being utter garbage when you have more than 10k rows. The flexibility in the types of ways you can arrange, color, and label graphs is unmatched. They really get what you need to showcase data effectively whereas everyone else is just a fancier Excel with SQL support.
Given the lack of quality I've seen in certain other big tech company viz tooling, I'm not sure Airbnb will be able to make Superset competitive either.
- dminor 5y agoWe moved from Tableau to Looker and it blows me away how much you have to spend to get good performance and a good dev experience.
- fifilura 5y agoCould you please be a bit more precise here. What blows you away, Tableau or Looker and in what direction does it blow? My (somewhat shallow) impressions of tableau is that it was built as an excel 2.0. Including all the bells and whistles. But it was not really tailored to our use-case of visualizing SQL data (without all the bells and whistles). We had some requirements that does not seem to be supported in superset though. The filters implementation is horrible as mentioned, and the killer feature is to be able to group by a {{variable in a dropdown}}.
