Oxygen vs. Tableau
Oxygen is built for agentic analytics and operational workflows. Tableau is a leading visual analytics platform.
Overview
Tableau is a visual analytics / BI platform (Salesforce) focused on dashboards, exploration, and broad business adoption. Oxygen focuses on making analytics agent-native: ask questions in natural language, build data artifacts in natural language, and turn insights into workflows, automations, and apps.
Where Oxygen Wins
From insight to action
Oxygen bakes in automations and apps so analysis can become repeatable procedures and embedded workflows -- not just visualizations.
Agentic creation experience
Oxygen's Answer/Build engines and Data Factory are designed for building artifacts, not just visualizing outputs.
Ontology-first semantic layer
Oxygen Ontology provides the data modeling layer for agents, giving workflows context and meaning -- not just chart definitions.
Full-stack platform, not just BI
Lakehouse + ETL/orchestration + semantic modeling + agents + automations + apps in one platform. Tableau is a visualization layer that depends on external infrastructure.
Where Tableau Is a Better Fit
Best-in-class dashboarding
You need best-in-class dashboarding and broad adoption across business teams with familiar BI workflows.
Salesforce integration
You're deeply integrated into Salesforce and want analytics embedded into CRM workflows.
Common Co-existence Pattern
Keep Tableau for broad dashboarding and business team adoption. Oxygen connects to the same data sources, builds the ontology/semantic layer, and extends your analytics into agentic workflows, automations, and operational apps that go beyond what dashboards can deliver. Tableau visualizes; Oxygen operationalizes.
Tableau shows you what happened. Oxygen helps you build what happens next.
