Just signed up. I would love to have an alternative to Tableau. I will add comments/issues here as I find them:<p>1. Give me a demo. A real sandbox I can play with. If it exists, I couldn't find it. I took the <a href="http://chartio.com/product/tour" rel="nofollow">http://chartio.com/product/tour</a> and it wasn't mentioned in there. There is no mention of demo on the front-page either. EDIT: Took me forever to find a demo ( linked from: <a href="http://chartio.com/uses/excelcharts" rel="nofollow">http://chartio.com/uses/excelcharts</a> ). This should have been front and foremost because it is awesome!<p>2. No mention of Windows-based tunnel anywhere on: <a href="https://chartio.com/project/4095/settings/source/add/MySQL" rel="nofollow">https://chartio.com/project/4095/settings/source/add/MySQL</a>. Companies that don't mind paying $2500/mo for BI often use Windows.<p>3. No MS-SQL support. No ODBC/JDBC.<p>4. Export as XLSX, not just CSV. It's very easy to do these days. Make the columns pretty, auto-filter etc.<p>I will pay $20-30k easily to have a good BI solution within my own network that is easy for me to setup and manage and can handle a few tens of million rows of data (don't even need billions). Your site is not speaking to me. Your site is catering to eBay store owners and Wordpress site operators who embed Google Analytics. It's not the text-copy of the pages but the focus. Talk to me about a VM I can host locally. Mention Windows even though we all use OSX and Nix in our personal and web-app lives. Mention cubes. Speak to me as if you are in the same industry as I am (medical, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, communications).<p>Having just played with the dashboard for a few minutes, I think you have a great product and wish you best of luck.
