"Was able to get a 5% increase YoY instead of 9% by emphasizing the delay in which we were informed of the price increase, as well as sharing that we were increasing our spend across other Salesforce products and wanted a flat renewal with Tableau as a result. "

"We needed to decrease our user count upon renewal. As we weren't able to sign a multi year, Tableau was not willing to decrease our cost (Creators went from $70 to $75). Our Viewer and Explorer license pricing remained the same YoY."

"Tableau, as a leader in the space, is challenging to replace, which makes negotiations challenging. We have seen the most success with deals that are kicked off early and involve a competitive bid.

"Double check your quotes multiple times for scope. We continued to ask for the corrected licensing but they kept adding in licenses we did not need.
