What 411 Arbolus experts think of Tableau

The NPS distribution skews positive, with scores of 8–10 being the most common from both end users and influencers. Renewal intent among high-spend and long-term users is stable, yet some cite cost and the impact of Salesforce's acquisition as emerging concerns. Stickiness is strong among mature deployments but less so in teams pressured by licensing costs and integration challenges. Key feedback themes include market-leading data visualization, intuitive dashboards, and strong integration—contrasted with cost escalation, growing complexity, and requests for more native AI features. Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
