What can you do with Tableau Server?

Data for people, responsibly
With Tableau Server you spread the value of data throughout the organisation. Give your company the opportunity to work with data in a trusted environment – without restricting it to predetermined questions, wizards or graphs. You can rely on the fact that both data and analytics are managed securely and accurately. IT organisations choose Tableau because of the ease of use and scalability, the robust integration and the excellent reliability. You no longer have to choose between growing your business or securing your data – with Tableau you can do both.

In Tableau Server you can ask questions in a natural language
Provide the means to your organisation to ask questions about their data in a natural language environment. When you have questions about data once you have typed a question you are immediately about to get a visual answer. The technology behind Data questions understands the meaning of your question and provides relevant answers. There is no longer any need to understand the structure of your data or even how you design a visualisation. Thanks to our end-to-end web authoring functionality, it is easy to add additional data sources or create fully interactive dashboards.

AI-driven explanations for your data
Leverage the power of AI to explain data points with a single click. Based on advanced statistical models, Explain Data helps you uncover insights you may not have found otherwise.

Access anywhere, embed everywhere
Give external teams, partners, and clients simple and secure access to analytics, no virtual private networks required. Easily embed interactive dashboards on the web and within apps like Salesforce in just a few clicks.

Connect all data
Connect safely to any data source – whether locally or in the cloud. You can create and share data sources as live connections or as extracts, so that everyone can use them. You can easily work with frequently used datasources for companies: consider for example Cloudera Hadoop, Oracle, AWS Redshift, cubes, Teradata and Microsoft SQL Server. You can use our web data connector and APIs to have access to hundreds of other data sources.

Tableau Server ensures data management that strengthens the company
Management without compromise: manage metadata and security rules centrally. You can also create shared and verified data sources available to users or optimise your network environment by gaining insight into usage. With Tableau Software you can find the best combination between flexibility and control.

Security, the way you want it
Whether you work with Active Directory, Kerberos, OAuth or another commonly used solution, Tableau integrates seamlessly with many security protocols. You can do many things with Tableau Server: you can manage authentication at user and group level, you can maintain the security of the database with pass-through data connection permission and filter on a row level. Finally, you are able to keep users and information safe with multi-tenant options and consent controls.

Flexible to use
Whether you store your data locally or in the cloud, with Tableau Server you can easily integrate it into your existing data infrastructure: you can install Tableau Server locally, behind your firewall, on Windows or Linux, this way you can have optimal control. To use your existing cloud investment, run Tableau Server on Public Cloud with AWS, Azure or Google Cloud Platform.

Strengthen organisations with data
Tableau Server allows everyone in an organisation see and understand data. Every user has possibility to profit from it: from incidental users, who make data-driven decisions with dashboards, to data enthusiasts who authorise existing data sources, to data heroes who make visualisations and data sources and share them with the rest of the organisation.

Powerful monitoring and management
The Tableau platform is easy to use, scale up and monitor. You can easily track and manage content, users, licenses and performance. Manage fast access to data sources and content and easily scale up when you are ready.

Plan, control and manage your data flows
You can publish and execute flows in your server environment with Tableau Prep Conductor. You can plan the flows that you want to execute when you need them (day or night) and automate your data preparation processes so that new data is always prepared and ready for analysis. Proactive alerts let you know when your flows are not running as planned.
