Why migrate from Tableau to Bryntum for scheduling?
A limited scheduling tool can reduce your team’s capacity to plan and adapt to the demands of work. In comparison, an equipped scheduler supercharges planning and productivity.
Find out why using Tableau as a scheduler (or Gantt chart) is limited and how Bryntum Scheduler’s many features will boost your team’s productivity. If you’re ready to make the move, our guide to migrating from Tableau to Bryntum Scheduler and responsive support team will make the switch easier.
Bryntum Scheduler is built for scheduling
Tableau is a trusted visualization tool for business intelligence data. You can configure Tableau’s Gantt chart and layouts to build a basic planner that displays scheduling data, but it’s not built for the job.
When you use Tableau as a scheduler, you don’t get to enjoy:
- Interactive editing: You can’t click and drag events to resize or reschedule them, or double-click on a task to update the time, date, or resource details. Instead, you need to change the scheduling data.
- Task dependencies: You can’t visualize task order and hierarchies.
- Recurrent tasks: It’s time-consuming to repeatedly add individual recurring tasks to the Tableau scheduler.
- UI customization: Tableau has limited design options.
Bryntum Scheduler provides interactive editing, task dependencies, recurring tasks, and many more features out of the box. Plus, it has a crisp, cool design by default. Migrate to the scheduler built for visualizing, editing, and optimizing your time in a great-looking UI.
What if you have loads of tasks to schedule? Bryntum Scheduler handles thousands of tasks without compromising scrolling performance. Give it a go in our Big Dataset demo.
