• Best Data Visualisation Tool

  Plotly Dash is a opensource, cross-platform & free. It's also free and super easy to host on something like Heroku for small projects. Throw in another tool here: Jupyter Lab - you can experiment in the latter, build some amazing dataviz yourself using tools like Plotly Express, even add in some interactivity with widgets - then, when you're ready you can refactor your code into a dashboard in Plotly Dash. With a little code & knowledge, you can build something Tableau-like fairly rapidly, and you have the full power of python & data science libraries at your fingertips (BI tools have python integration, but it's very clunky). They have a growing open source community of libraries (built with react & python) and examples/galleries, so there's lots out there to copy. To illustrate this, here's a dashboard built in Plotly over a couple of nights at the start of the pandemic: https://github.com/nite/covid-19 - this should illustrate how quick & easy it is to build something tableau-like, and how to host it in docker/heroku. There's a jupyter Lab notebook in the notebooks directory, and a link to the dashboard live in the readme (takes a min to spin up if no-one has hit it recently)
