Tableau Public is a free edition of the Desktop product. With this edition, data can only be published to the Tableau public website and does not allow work to be saved or exported locally.TableauActive platform for data analysis2019-03-30T00:24:27.311ZTableau Public is not used as popular as MS excel by students on campus in terms of data analysis and visualization. However, lots of engineering students and those who are dealing with data analysis have been using Tableau for many projects and research. Tableau Public, together with Tableau desktop, is available on computers for students from the engineering departments, the statistics department, and the business school. Using Tableau Public can create a viz that makes results from data analysis more approachable to your audience and the data can be obtained from any engineering experiments, statistic analysis, market surveying, etc.,Tableau Public can work with data that are differently formatted, such as MS Excel, .txt file, Google Sheets, not sure about MS Access.
GUI interface of Tableau Public is not that hard to start working on; Also, it can generate codes for the operations and so it is relatively easy to visualize and correct mistakes.
Lots of Tableau Public users upload their work to the online community, users can easily find very good figures/graphs that are similar to their problems and so they can use these figures/graphs as templates to modify and make their own ones.,Tableau Public is a free version which has limited space for data importing. Upgrade the software involves a large fee.
When importing data to Tableau Public, data file needs to be filtered out clearly, which means all columns need to be consistent, no extra space. Otherwise, it will cause problems in the dataset in Tableau Public.,9,RStudio and Tableau Desktop,9,10,Tableau Desktop, RStudio, Original Software QualifyVerified UserTableau Public is a great community-driven dashboard program2019-01-02T14:29:23.576ZTableau Public was used during the initial onboarding stages of the Tableau platform (when we were making decisions about what dashboard program to implement organization-wide). It was used across the entire organization in different capacities: as an analyst, I primarily worked on requirements gathering for dashboards from clients and internal teams, and then built the dashboards to the gathered specifications. Data engineers built APIs and data pipelines to provide the requisite data to test the platform. Clients and internal team members used Tableau Public to view and present different reports based on the data from different platforms. Tableau Public, like Tableau (corporate or enterprise), is a dashboard program meant to work with large datasets and visualize and present that data in digestible formats. In this sense, it addresses the issues of understanding the story data tells: its viz capabilities are great for summarizing data (say, monthly spending performance), and identifying trends using different visualizations.,Data visualization: lots of different options, including bar, scatter, pie, waterfall charts to explore relationships between variables, and to present findings/trends to different teams
Integrates readily with limited, though different data sources: TXT, CSV, TDE, Access
Exports reports for review of different dashboards: client-ready/team-ready, with a clean and tidy presentation in PDF format (or hardcopy),The biggest drawback to the Public version of Tableau is that any data used in the program is 'public' and therefore not secure: workbooks are saved to the cloud, rather than locally
Tableau Public limits data ingestion to 10 million rows per source
Limited connections - can't connect to SQL databases to ingest data (must be through CSV, Access, TDE, or text files),10,QlikView, Google Data Studio, Microsoft Power BI and Power BI For Office 365,5,6,Trello, Basecamp, Marketo, Pardot, Google Ad Manager, Google Authenticator, Yahoo!

Simple - the training was shorter than other efforts I have done and the creation of materials effortless with helped with user adoption. Users liked the product so they were more inclined to learn it.
Customization - Being able to run short sprints was a key for my project and using on-the-go features allowed the customization by non-developers quickly.,Data analytics - this was not the strongest at forecasting models or any sort or predictive analytics.

Try Public2017-06-27T16:41:09.724ZTableau Public is the free/lite version of the Tableau visualization tool intended for publishing public data using public data sources. Unlike Desktop, there are no data connectors with the exception of Excel or CSV text files. And there is no security. It is software that is intended to extend visualization of data for public consumption with both the data and the visualizations freely downloadable by anyone accessing it.,Tableau public is a great training tool to understand the basics of Tableau before buying it.

In addition, visualizations that our company and / or customers want to publish on their website and share with community members are excellent applications for these tools.,Tableau Public offers free tools for creative people to learn the products with minimal investment "up front", as well as providing a place to share data visualizations and insights with the world. Visualizations are hosted (for no charge) by Tableau Software and may be accessed by members of the local community (via links from an organization's website) or from anywhere in the world. Workbook(s) published to Tableau Public may be downloaded by viewers to see techniques used by the creator, and get good ideas.
Tableau Public Premium is similar but removes the download functionality. This works well when the publisher wants to share access to the visualizations (e.g. on the organization's website) but NOT share the underlying workbooks nor data, keeping both confidential.,Tableau Public (both Desktop and Server) like their "for a fee" counterparts offer very easy to learn and use tools to transform data into pictures and gain insights into your data. Most organizations report a reduction in development time of 10x vs. other similar tools, due to the intuitive user interface. That said, with Tableau Public, published workbooks are "disconnected" from the underlying data sources and require periodic updates when the data changes. Users are limited to 1 Gb of storage space per user ID and password as well.
I would like to see better options for public sharing of visualizations and data from within the "for a fee" products as more and more organizations are moving in the direction of data sharing with partners and their communities.,10,,10,We use Tableau internally across the organization, as well as provide a suite of developed visualizations to K-12 Education and Government customers across the United States.,10,10,10,30,5,Internally, we use Tableau to monitor support call staffing and usage, monitor training class evaluations (by trainer and by topic), manage development projects, and visualize customer data (products by geographic location).
K-12 Education customers use Tableau for analyzing assessment data, attendance, grades, behavior (discipline), demographic data and trends. Many visualizations integrate multiple data sources to understand the "big picture" of what factors affect student performance, risk of dropping out of school, etc.
Government users have visualizations for financial, payroll and human resource applications, tax collections, appraisals, and records management.,One recent example is tracking support call data. Our company delivers 25,000+ support call tickets in a given year, and the workload varies dramatically during the year, with different peaks and valleys for K-12 Education and Government customers. We created a visualization where we report prior calls by month and project out staffing needs for the next 6 months using Tableau. Since we deployed this about 6 months ago, our staffing numbers have matched our workload requirements signficantly better, leading to improved customer service and reduced wait times.,K-12 Education - we are developing some new Balanced Scorecard visualizations for school districts to set district goals / targets and use Tableau to monitor progress against these targets throughout the year.,Yes,Price

We escalated the issue to Tableau, their research identified the problem really was with our data having unexpected values in a specific field, and was not really a Tableau issue at all. With this information, we were able to correct the database and correct the offending data quickly.,Connecting to data, creating visualizations and dashboards are all significantly easier with Tableau vs. other products.,None,Yes,10Steven BohlenderInteractive Data Visualization Shared on the Web2013-07-28T20:44:30.468ZIt works easily with Excel (.xls Excel 97-2003) format workbooks (see the related negative comment below).
It allows quick and easy reformatting of visualizations and charts.
It facilitates chart building because you can see which charts' input requirements are satisfied by your data, without leading you, lock step through a "chart building wizard" or other nonsense.,Modern (.xlsx) workbooks are not accepted in the free (public version). The public version accepts only a limited number of inputs from Microsoft Access and Excel (.xls 97-2003 format).
It seemed unable to read an Excel workbook with more than three pages.
You MUST post your results to the web. No confidential data here!,Quick visualizations.
Clean design. If you are a fan of Edward Tufte or Stephen Few, then you favor a lean, clean look. That seems to be Tableau's default. I appreciate that.,10,10,Tableau helps me to quickly visualize my data and report on it.
Tableau public lets me (in fact requires me) to post the results in a public forum.
