I have to second Microsoft's Power BI.
The price point for Tableau was just too much for our medium sized public
library. After doing some searching, I discovered Power BI and am using the
free desktop version. It has all the functionality of the full online
share-able version and, did I mention the cost?
To be fair, I was able to get Tableau to function much more quickly,
however the lack of institutional license was the killer. I just couldn't
justify the expense.
