Should visualization tools like tableau or looker be used for multi-tenant systems

Question

Tableau, Looker, and Apache Superset are examples of visualisation technologies that should not be utilised for multi-tenant solutions. A product with thousands of users might benefit from data analytics. This has to be safe so that business A can't view the visualisations of company B. In order for this to operate, these tools must be able to determine if a user has permission to see data. After the user has logged in, this is generally accomplished by cookies.
These third-party technologies should not be used to verify that data is only accessible by authorised individuals. Instead, Ruby on Rails with d3js, highcharts, and other libraries is the best solution. Data can be maintained much more easily using the same authentication techniques that you use to log in, and the data is safe.

Answer 1

Looker actually does a great job with multi-tenant data. Looker is frequently used for this purpose.

You may tie attributes to users to require the proper SQL to be produced, ensuring that the user only sees data that is relevant to them.
