    Gephi is for exploring one type of graph, while Tableau is a dashboard for combining and looking at multiple datasets through a variety of customizeable graphs and reports.

    Tableau is a tool for much more than visualisation, and gephi is a good tool for certain kind of data visualisation but not so prolific.

    Gephi is exclusively directed towards network graphs. It does not offer analysis of any other kind of data.
