Tableau makes stunning visualizations, but it doesn't know a Gantt chart from a grocery list. SlideStrike was built for construction.
Tableau's pricing makes project managers wince. Here's what you're really paying for.
Especially construction and project management teams
$35/month just to VIEW dashboards. $115/month to create them. Plus infrastructure, training, and hidden fees.
TCO adds up quickly for teams
Users report lag and slowdowns when dashboards get complex. Too many filters or data sources? Get ready to wait.
Performance degrades at scale
Minor changes require rebuilding entire sheets. Renaming a column? Manual updates everywhere. It's maintenance nightmare.
Hours lost on maintenance
Tableau has no concept of task dependencies, critical path, or milestones. Want a Gantt chart? Build it manually with no drag-and-drop.
No project management features
One price. Unlimited viewers. No surprise fees. Share with your whole team without license anxiety.
Optimized for construction data from day one. Fast with the kinds of datasets project teams actually use.
When your data structure changes, dashboards adapt. No manual rebuilding. No dashboard sprawl.
Real Gantt charts with dependencies. Critical path analysis. Milestone tracking. The tools project managers actually need.

Like buying a fancy paint set when you need to build a house. Beautiful colors, but where are the blueprints?
Like hiring an architect who already knows construction codes, building standards, and speaks your language.
Upload your project data and see real construction KPIs in 60 seconds. S-curves that matter. Gantt charts that work. Insights that drive action.
