we've shifted to plot.ly for visualization and moved away from expensive BI tools. We set up python/pandas scripts on CRON to output realtime data to our local plot.ly web server, which makes a local copy of the data and updates the chart. You simply embed the chart as an iframe where ever want internally, and BOOM, you've got a real time chart (beautiful I may add).

Considering enterprise BI software/platforms these days can costs upwards of 4k per month, this is roundoff error.
I agree, just doesn't fit the projects I wish to use it for.
