Our experience with WebFocus has been incredibly nice.

The connections it supports to Legacy Data are many.

Too much effort is required to move to a new edition.

It is a bit difficult to learn and use.

Tableau presents your data in such a unique way that you can’t abandon yourself from falling in love with it.

It seems somewhat confusing at the start, especially, the mapping portion is very complex.
