About Tableau
Tableau is a Salesforce-owned business intelligence and data visualization platform used by analysts, data teams, and executives to create interactive dashboards, reports, and exploratory visualizations. It supports connections to hundreds of data sources and offers both cloud-hosted (Tableau Cloud) and self-managed (Tableau Server) deployments. In 2026, Salesforce introduced Tableau+ bundling Tableau Next with agentic analytics and natural language querying via Tableau Pulse, though pricing for Tableau+ requires a sales conversation.
