// Analytics

The Tableau alternative built around the metrics that actually matter.

Tableau is a powerful BI tool — but you’re paying Salesforce enterprise pricing for dashboards your team could get from a purpose-built system in a fraction of the time. TailorStack builds analytics around your specific KPIs, data sources, and decision workflows.

Why teams leave Tableau

  • Tableau’s per-user licensing (£35–70/user/month) means costs compound as analytics adoption grows.
  • Dashboard creation requires Tableau-specific skills — your team depends on a small group of power users.
  • Real-time data requires Tableau Server/Cloud at enterprise pricing — most teams run on stale extracts.
  • Embedding Tableau in your own applications requires additional licensing (Embedded Analytics).
  • The Salesforce acquisition has pushed pricing upward and focused the roadmap on Salesforce ecosystem integration.

What you get instead

Custom analytics dashboards showing exactly the metrics your leadership reviews. Real-time data pipelines from your databases, APIs, and third-party tools. Embedded natively in your existing applications — no separate tool to log into. Role-based views for different teams. Automated report generation and distribution. No per-user licensing. Built in 4–7 weeks.
