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.
