Mode vs Tableau
Today’s marketplace requires truly modern business intelligence tools that prioritize a user-first choice of analysis including SQL, Python, and R-notebook workflows for every day analysts in addition to robust visualizations for every team and business user.

Data Visualizations ≠ Business Intelligence
Tableau’s one-way, legacy approach to business intelligence centers highly visual dashboards for non-technical business users, but falls abruptly short for the core needs and critical functions of modern data teams and analysts.

Mode is the only platform that includes preferred workflows and code-based tool options like Python notebooks, and SQL-based analysis for deeper statistical reporting. One platform, built for true iteration, allows analysts to seamlessly switch between a cloud-based SQL Editor and connected Python notebooks, while business users can still create and share visual dashboards and reports in minutes.
Tableau Vizes are built from static data models
Tableau’s data extraction process is extremely cumbersome and time-consuming
Simply put, Tableau halts iterative analysis. In order to update a Tableau Viz with new data, the user must leave Tableau, prep and load the new data model in their external SQL editor, and possibly change the logic. In addition, standard SQL, Python and R integration is all done outside of the Tableau.
With every possible capability built right into the UI, Mode’s one-platform approach enables faster speed to insight and is built for true iteration. Analysts will never experience a tool switching tax in their workflows and business users can still get the insights they need.
Community ≠ Customer Support
With Tableau now seated under Salesforce, the support team is more unresponsive to customers than ever. From set up to every day issues, many Tableau users are now solely dependent on each other in community forums for troubleshooting and solutions.
Mode’s award-winning support team response quickly resolves issues within an SLA that ensures 99.9% availability every quarter.
