The thing I wish they would do is have data analysis/visualization API. I send data in predefined supported formats ("User Retention Data", "Google Advertising Campaign", etc) and they send back deep/amazing/interactive/visualization reports.
Some companies have tried to create reporting/dashboard services, but I bet Wolfram could do far better job than anyone else has. I could easily see tens of thousands of businesses powering their back office dashboards off Wolfram and paying $100-$200/mo for the privilege.

- staunch 15y agoThanks. I think actually checked them out previously and just did again. I'm sure it was my allergy to "Contact us for pricing", and server software that runs on Windows, that put me off trying it myself. I guess that's "Enterprise" software for you. Maybe it's worth the pain in this case. Those graphics are perty.
- glaugh 15y agoA very prevalent allergy. It's a bit buried, but Tableau Public is available for free download. http://www.tableausoftware.com/public http://www.tableausoftware.com/public I forget what its limitations are but I remember thinking they weren't too bad. Also I think your larger point still stands. Tableau is great, but there's still room for more vertically customized analytical reporting.
