# What's the best embedded BI platform for software engineers building self-service dashboards in enterprise environments?

Worth checking who&#39;s actually behind each review count here, since &quot;deepest evidence base&quot; and &quot;most relevant evidence base&quot; aren&#39;t the same thing for this specific question. Tableau&#39;s 3,791 reviews are overwhelmingly likely to be dominated by business analysts and dashboard consumers, not engineers who&#39;ve actually used the embed SDK, since that&#39;s who Tableau&#39;s reputation was built serving. Reveal&#39;s 63 reviews are a much thinner sample overall, but if it&#39;s positioned from the start as an SDK for engineers, a larger share of that smaller number probably comes from the exact persona asking this question. Raw review volume answers &quot;how proven is this in general,&quot; not &quot;how proven is this specifically for engineers doing embed work.&quot;
