- Cloud benefits like agility, ROI potentially sacrificed by remaining on-premises
On-premises analytics with data in the cloud
Pros:
- Easier to scale data
- Fewer resources required to manage infrastructure
Cons:
- Tableau Server on-premises must connect to cloud data
You'll want to consider:
- Authentification options for cloud and on-premises systems
- Data connectivity, networking, and security
Cloud analytics with data on-premises
Pros:
- More flexible and scalable analytics
Cons:
- Time, resources, and new business processes required with cloud shift
- Fighting against data gravity
You'll want to consider:
- Tableau Server deployed in public cloud vs. Tableau Cloud hosted SaaS
- Tableau Bridge to connect to on-premises data
- Data connectivity, networking, and security
Everything migrated to the cloud
Pros:
- Greatest access to cloud benefits across flexibility, scalability, features, and costs
- Holistic cloud adoption has advantages for improving data culture
Cons:
- Resources and expertise required for simultaneous migration
- Potential disruptions to analytics services depending on cutover/implementation
You'll want to consider:

Deploy Tableau in the cloud
Connect to your cloud data
We needed to reduce the burden on IT so we could make other upgrades more easily, like adding single sign-on and row-level security. By going to an online, cloud-based option, we no longer had to manage our Tableau infrastructure at all.
