I have no experience with Superset. Can you elaborate on a few points where you see it excel beyond Tableau?

I dont want to start a rant against Tableau. It's a powerhouse. It's a great superior software. But when it comes to optimizing cost and comparing the total cost of ownership and opportunity to stop paying for Tableau server license we voted in favor of Superset and mix of Reactjs+Echarts widgets.

If you have money, dedicated team of data analytics who are already familiar with Tableau - no need to torture them with other tools.

Honestly it's so hard to compare Tableau and Superset. Tableau has every feature and bell / whistle imagine-able. But it's heavy, desktop oriented, and pricey.

Superset is lightweight and open source, but only has 5% of the features. So it really depends what you need!
