SAP BI4 (former called BusinessObjects) is a BI platform which includes front end tools for reporting , analysis ,dashboarding ,visualizations and other data requirements.
What you can compare is tableau to SAP Lumira which is an agile visualization and data story board self-service BI tool.
In SAP BI4 you can build universes (using IDT ) that support hadoop integration.
Once you set that, the entire reporting tool SAP BI4 platform hosts support universes and can consume data through them (Lumira,web Intelligence,Crystal reports,Design studio)
You can also search for tableau Vs. Lumira, see what you can find,remember:
Comparing two different tools is one thing, understanding what your organization and users requirements is all about is a different thing
Read here for further details about hadoop integration with SAP BI4:
As I said: BO is an old name (one of many) of the current SAP BI4 platform
The question remains: which BI tools are you comparing?
Web Intelligence and old desktop intelligence do not belong to the same category of BI tools that Tableu and SAP Lumira belongs to, therefore I still don't get what you are trying to compare
If you alreasy have SAP products, you can use Lumira as alternate for Tableau. Latest version of Lumira 1.27 has Hadoop support. Download trial version of Lumira and explore.
Next version of Lumira which is scheduled to release by end of Aug 1.28 version has enhanced features and more support for Hadoop.
In general I would say that products like Tableau and QlikView have the maturity advantage: they are products that evolved over more than 5/ years while Lumira still got some catching to do in order to be a mightier candidate as well as catch up with the entire SAP BI4 platform capabilities (Security, integration, scheduling, better visualizations and more)
As Yadav mentioned, Tableau is more matured product. If you already have BI platform, i would recommend to use Lumira, Lumira product development planning to push this product with frequent releases to address the missing features that competitors has.
Lumira has integration with BI platform, so you don't need to use/maintain multiple tools enterprise level.
