The Tableau vs Power BI Rap Battle: So Cringy it’s Addictive

Over Thanksgiving break, I decided to mash up the classic data-geek debate of “Tableau vs Power BI” into an AI-powered rap battle. Three rounds of diss tracks with AI on the mic.

I’ve screened it with a few folks, and the reviews so far? Fun. Cringe. Silly. Freaking awesome.

Sometimes technology takes itself a little too seriously. This is meant to be silly, and a balanced showcase of where things stand. Not since the East Coast vs. West Coast battles of the ’90s have we seen such fierce loyalty between two groups of data sense-making professionals.


Where do I stand on the debate between Tableau and Power BI?

Working at DataTools Pro where I am using Tableau daily, yet migrating Tableau into Power BI at BIChart I have preferences depending on the use case.

I choose the right solution that works best for the team, skills, investments, and what leads to the highest adoption!

I will let the community continue to debate. Check out the site, sign up for notifications over the next couple weeks, and enjoy!
