Tableau can connect to files, relational and Big data sources to acquire and process data. The software allows data blending and real time collaboration, which makes it very unique. It is used by businesses, academic researchers and many governments to do visual data analysis. It is also positioned as a leader Business Intelligence and Analytics Platform in Gartner Magic Quadrant.
