Interesting to see news of MicrosStrategy’s release of a free tool called ‘Analytics Desktop‘. In the various press releases I’ve seen it seems to be being pitched as a challenger to Tableau Public. Time will tell if it is in the same league but its a positive move and creates a new accessible option for those not already served by any of the other tools out there.
MicroStrategy Analytics Desktop is a fast, user-friendly visual analytics tool. Designed for self-service, it empowers business people to analyze and understand data without specialized expertise.With Analytics Desktop, it takes just minutes to create stunning, interactive data visualizations and data-driven stories that create new insight and new understanding.
