Rumor has it that they are moving away from Tableau and Alteryx . Going to Databricks, PowerBI and Superset. Any truth to this?

We were told to move from Tableau to powerbi nearly 3 years ago now.
The corporate Tableau license was recently re-upped. Its valid until I believe 2028. However, there is absolutely a shift towards powerBI with most new dashboard development happening there, and for good reason.
Alteryx, that's going to be team by team. There is an early shift to Sigma starting to happen. However, any shift in analytics tools is going to be slower as lots of well established teams have embedded processes that will take time to migrate. Heck SAS's demise has been talked about for years internally, and its still going strong despite the high cost.
Long term for those that survive…I don’t see this as a bad change. It’s actually a good move bc running reports and reviewing data from it is TEDIOUS! The platform as designed just does not provide me with the tools I need to do my job. It’s slow, has a huge lag and the kind of reporting from it, that I need to do my job well…is just not available through it.
@an they are using offshore resources.
I know several teams that manage hundreds of Tableau dashboards. It took years to build all, so even if they rated D or U it would take months or years to rewrite all and millions in labor. This has been a talked about for years until someone does the math on converting and realizes it isn’t worth the cost.
@OP 100% moving away from those and moving to the Microsoft suite of products.
Tableau is a garbage dashboard tool. PowerBI has always been ahead in this space
This company changes tool set about every couple years or they write it themselves to save $0.50 on buying a supportable product. Welcome to the island of misfit apps.
@a6 yeah and if they are moving away from this stack and it’s the stack your team is using ….
This is a lay off board...
Yes, been doing this work.
Yes, we moved to power bi 2 years ago.
