Hi everyone! I'm currently looking at Tableau for data visualizations. Has anyone integrated before and if so how was the experience, is it worth getting Tableau over Insight Designer(which cost more and have limitations) ?

Thanks!

Bryan

    @Bryan Alfaro
    I would suggest looking at Power BI which is a Tableau competitor and much cheaper than Tableau? There is a custom connector for Power BI (currently managed by Blackbaud user @Matt Thacker) if you want to use that connection. If you don't want to use that connection, you can also now get a lot of data via the QueryAPI that you can save as CSV files which you can use as data sources for either Power BI or Tableau reports.
