Choose the Tableau deployment that is right for you
Enable a data culture with trusted data and collaboration across your organization.
Tableau Cloud
Fully hosted by Tableau
If you don't want to install software or purchase hardware, choose a fully hosted, cloud-based, enterprise-grade solution on the world's #1 analytics platform with Tableau Cloud, a fast, flexible, easy-to-use self-service platform designed to fit your enterprise architecture. It includes Tableau Pulse and Tableau Agent to help you accelerate your data culture with AI-powered insights.
Tableau Server
Deploy on the public cloud
If you prefer not to manage on-premises servers but want full control of your software, deploy Tableau Server (on Windows or Linux) on Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, or Microsoft Azure. You benefit from all the great features of Tableau Server, with the added scalability of the leading public cloud solutions.
Install on-premises
If your organization's software and data is on-premises, you may want to keep your analytics there too. Tableau Server installed on-premises, whether on Windows or Linux, gives you full control of your analytics software while ensuring all your content remains behind IT's firewall.
Tableau Desktop
Visualize and analyze even when offline
Access an intuitive drag and drop interface to uncover the hidden insights you need to make impactful business decisions faster, even when you are offline. All while leveraging trusted and governed data in a secure self-service environment.
Collaborate with your team and share your data discoveries
Tableau gives you the power to see your data in a whole new way. Explore and answer critical business questions in just minutes — but don’t keep these insights to yourself. What if you could quickly and securely share data, reports, and dashboards with your team, company, and customers?
Tableau’s sharing and collaboration options make that easy, whether your data is on-premises, in the cloud, or spread across a hybrid deployment. Simply choose the Tableau option that best integrates into your existing data environment: Use Tableau Cloud for a fully-hosted solution, deploy Tableau Server on your preferred cloud platform, or install on-premises.
