I Cheated On Tableau with Power BI

[@ericsbrennan]

Can you also compare Tableau to PowerBI from a corporation deployment standpoint? How does each stack up when administering the corporate site. User login, Folder management and protection. Tableau has a really robust server and then site admin options. I can lock folders by groups or individuals. Each project then has a large array of settings to allow or limit users from filtering, downloading, editing, Saving. Tableau also has their subscriptions and alert messages that can be sent to anyone that subscripts to them when data meets and certain criteria. Everyone always compares the building piece, but it is difficult to find the consumption comparison.

I'll see what I can do - I work with corporate implementations of both, but I can't show any videos of the actual implementations because it's all proprietary. I'll see what I can find elsewhere though. :) The short answer is they're pretty similar, but Tableau is more centralized, whereas Power BI is more distributed. You can do a lot of the same things. I get the impression a lot of the Power BI development over the last few years has been catching up with what Tableau already does well.

1:33 False! In PBI you're not limited to joining on one field only.

Funny you mention this - I was having lunch with someone today and I mentioned this. Turns out I was using an out of date version. I'm going to add a note to the video.
