What are the pros and cons of using a program like Tableau vs. Illustrator to create visualizations? I’ve just started a new data viz job where I have access to Tableau and an opportunity to purchase illustrator (which I’m trying to justify to myself). I get the impression that Illustrator could be very useful for creating visually appealing one-off charts and graphs—which I know I will be doing a lot of. Any insight is appreciated!

Tableau is really good at linking to an underlying data source like a cloud database and creating visualizations that update automatically as you get new data. It has some support for analysis but not much, so for complicated stuff you want to preprocess it somewhere else
