I'm currently looking into web based BI tools and have Tableau on my radar at the moment. Is splunk able to do traditional relational database reporting for business users or is the value more in IT operations? I'm googling, but finding a whole lot of handwaving.

Splunk can read/write to relational databases.

Hey, how can I get in touch with you? I think I can help you evaluate better (and learn in the process).

Not a strength for Splunk.

Splunk is not able to. Check us out at chartio.com

This comes across as juvenile and shady. At least expand on it a bit.
