What is Tableau Cloud?

Tableau Cloud is a fully-hosted, cloud-based, enterprise-grade analytics solution designed to empower organizations with intelligent tools and insights where people already work. A fast, flexible, easy-to-use platform for data prep, authoring, analysis, collaboration, publishing, and sharing of analytics content, Tableau Cloud supports people and organizations across all stages of their digital transformation and data-driven culture.

Migrating to Tableau Cloud introduces time savings, agility, and reduced costs through automatic scaling without software or hardware maintenance. Plus, you always get all the latest capabilities, AI features, and enhancements.

Tableau Cloud allows for quick activation and configuration of your Tableau site, enabling analytics for anyone, anywhere.

We’re proud to say that Tableau Cloud is designed to fit any enterprise architecture with industry-leading security features, the highest certification standards like SOCII and ISO, out-of-the-box HIPAA compliance, and best-in-class governance capabilities to ensure your data is always in the right hands.

Get insights from all your data regardless of where it resides

Tableau offers tools to help customers who have a hybrid (on-premises and cloud) data strategy, or who need to access private cloud data in your cloud analytics environment.

Tableau Bridge

Tableau Bridge brings in data from private data sources into Tableau Cloud, maintains live connections, and keeps data fresh with extract refreshes. With Bridge, Tableau Cloud can securely access on-premises and virtual private cloud data.

Data Connect

Data Connect provides a new choice for those who prefer not to manage Bridge themselves. With Data Connect, Tableau takes on the responsibility of remotely operating, monitoring, and maintaining the software client, while the organization's team provides and manages the physical or virtual hardware.

Effectively grow and manage your analytics with Tableau Cloud Manager

Tableau Cloud Manager helps organizations efficiently grow and manage their Tableau Cloud environment across multiple sites. This makes it easier to expand to new teams or regions while meeting content security and data residency requirements.

With Tableau Cloud Manager, you can easily create and manage new, additional sites in the region of your choice. All customers will get access to up to three sites but depending on which Tableau Cloud edition you have, you could create up to 50 sites. Tableau Cloud Manager also enables admins to centrally manage multiple sites and the organization’s users and licenses across their sites.

Note: We are currently migrating Tableau Cloud to Salesforce's Hyperforce cloud infrastructure, and not all regions have completed the migration (for updates on the timeline, visit our Help article). Since Tableau Cloud Manager allows for a single deployment to have Sites in different regions, it is possible that one or more of a deployment's sites might be migrated to Hyperforce before others.
