Difference between PowerBI and Tableau

Differences Between Power BI vs Tableau


Below mentioned are some of the major parameters which differentiate Power Bi and Tableau :

Cost : Power BI costs almost ten times less compared to Tableau. Further, to get the most out of Tableau one will need to build data warehousing leading to inflation of the cost.

MICROSOFT POWER BI PRICE

Microsoft has a simple pricing model that reflects the same approach employed in Microsoft Office 365. Users can choose one of two pricing paths. Power BI Pro is priced at $9.99/user/month, is classified as “self-service” BI, and is included with Microsoft Office 365 Enterprise E5.

TABLEAU PRICE

Tableau assumes a deeper level of usage, at $500 per user, per year, with no limit on data. Tableau also goes well beyond a simple per-user subscription model to provide a wide range of licensing options based on the specific role individuals play within an organization. For example, end-users who only need to consume data wind up costing less than end-users who create data.


Large Data Sets : Tableau still ranks better than Power BI when it comes to handling the huge volume of data sets.

User Interface : Power BI has a more intuitive interface and is much simpler to learn than tableau.
Data Visualization : Tableau is the preferred tool when it comes to Data Visualization whereas Power BI focuses more on predictive modeling and reporting.

Programming tools Support : Both the softwares can connect smoothly with programming languages.
