Hi,
I'm looking for a reporting tool that can be linked to Limesurvey.
Tableau looks good and seems to be able to connect with lime with little programming (wihc I can't do myself).

Does anyone ever try it or have another webreporting tool ?

Any ideas are welcome.

I'd suggest R:
github.com/cloudyr/limer

Thanks for the advice.

I've heard of R. The trouble is that R is not really a user friendly tool ... (is there a graphic interface or something like that ?) and I don't thing you can manage a complete online reporting (with limited acess, filter, ...) with R

Tableau seems more easy for a simple user, even if I'm not sure I can really do online reporting with it.

Without knowing Tableau in detail (I only had researched about it a little bit before), I would guess that it can connect to a MySQL database and draw data from there. Limesurvey data is all in a MySQL database.
I couldn't find any current pricing on Tableau, but I always had in mind that it was really pricy.

Actually the price is not very high regarding the results and the look and feel of the analysis (we talking about 1.000 USD for an access). It is still less expensive than developping a complete ad hoc tool for lime.
After having a long demo with the Tableau team, it appears that it won't fit my need. The main trouble is that tableau doesn't allow to have multiple access to the reporting without buying a license for each access... Well when you have more than 500 persons that should log to their results the budget to consider is way to expensive.

Otherwise if someone need a beautifull tool to analyse the survey without need to share online the report with client, respodent... thats seems to be a good and easy to do solution (link with mysql possible)

I'm now starting to investigate Qlik... more news in a few days

Exactly that is what I mean with expensive! I find 1000 USD for one access already quite expensive. Now if I want to give access to my clients I need to buy extra licenses. This makes it unviable for the type of usage that usually comes with reporting survey results.

For creating internal dashboards for a small group of C-Level executives in a big corporation it might make sense, but for surveys in the adhoc area that change all the time and clients are different for each project, this is just not a viable business model.

Did you already look at datastudio.google.com ? Still in beta, but might be worth a look.

Well Clik is quite the same than Tableau and the Google stuff is not available in my counrty...
If someone have an idea because I'm not sure that I want to developp the tool myself...

Maybe shiny.rstudio.com/ is interesting for you.

However, when you need the pro features I think it is getting expensive as well: www.rstudio.com/pricing/

Ouch. they are very pricy...

I think that i'll go with my devlopment team to develop my own reporting tool

The community server is missing access management. Third Party SaaS means submitting survey data in foreign repositories. That is no option for me.

Is that no issue with datastudio.google.com as well?

Interesting concept are the RNotebooks, which might be distributes as html pages and still offer interactive elements.

Perhaps they can be used as little dashboards with containing, encrypted data.

I don't think we will see many users here with sophisticated dashboards. They already use different tools than Limesurvey.
Limesurvey should provide a authentication framework and allow third party devs to create plugins for reporting.
The developer of reportico seems to be going in that direction.
github.com/reportico-web/limesurvey-reportico

yeah, but what I have seen from Reportico so far was rather last century / millenium. Design wise.
