Tableau Pulse
A feature that sends managers short, plain-language summaries of key metrics in Slack, email, or mobile, instead of making them open a dashboard.
An analytics platform that answers plain-language data questions and automatically explains what is driving a change in the numbers.
Tellius is an analytics platform built around AI-driven search and automated insights. Users type a question in natural language and get an answer plus an automated root-cause and driver analysis explaining what is behind a change in the numbers. It includes built-in machine learning for building predictive models without a separate data science tool, and AI agents that automate recurring analysis tasks inside existing workflows. It serves regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and financial services, supports SAML single sign-on and API access on its higher tier, and can run in Tellius's own cloud, a customer's cloud account, or on-premises.
This fits a company with an analytics or operations team that wants automated root-cause explanations instead of building every chart by hand, and enough data volume to benefit from built-in machine learning. A workable start is the Premium plan, capped at ten users and about 50 million rows of live data, moving to the unlimited Enterprise tier as usage grows; both are custom-quoted, and third-party pages cite figures near $495 a month as a rough starting point, so confirm directly with Tellius. A 30-day free trial is available. The main thing to check is how automated insights are validated, since root-cause analysis can surface a real statistical pattern that is not actually meaningful for the business, so plan for an analyst to sanity-check any flagged findings.

Estimate assumptions: This scenario uses a category-based allowance, not a verified price for this product. Based on 1 production workspace. Confirm the vendor’s billing unit and current price or quote before budgeting.
Benefits have not been estimated: The current research does not estimate potential savings, return on investment, or how long it would take to recover the cost. Earlier benefit estimates are excluded.
Confirm current product identity, commercial packaging, data processing terms, sign-in and access rules, retention, integrations, support model, implementation effort, and rollback conditions.
Verify identity, package, availability, ownership, pricing, and security evidence before approving a pilot
Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
Define what success looks like for a test of Tellius and assign someone to lead it.
Once the requirements above are met, compare a small trial with how your team works today.
Track adoption, output quality, business results, and actual costs against the estimate.
Use the results to decide whether to stop, adjust, or expand the pilot.
Confirm encryption, how the vendor uses your data, customer data separation, how long data stays and how to delete it, activity records, sign-in and user setup, where data is handled, other companies that process data, past incidents, and what your team must manage.
Review before rollout: confirm how to export your data, revoke access, and return to your existing workflow. Assign an owner and test the rollback plan before expanding use.
Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
