Intro

Tableau is very strong software using which you can easily create phenomenal and attractive data visualizations. Overall it is a very strong and helpful software and can help a data analyst or scientist a lot. Today we are going over different types of products that are available in the Tableau product suite.

Tableau Desktop

It is a phenomenal product that allows its users to write code and create custom reports. Using it you can easily create charts, reports, and workbooks and blend them to create a custom dashboard. Besides this, the dashboards and workbooks that you create using it can be shared locally and publicly. On the basis of connectivity there are two versions of the Tableau Desktop:

·         Desktop Personal: This version of the Tableau desktop allows you to keep all your workbooks and dashboards private. The workbooks that you create using it cannot be published publicly online.

·         Desktop Professional: In terms of functionality it is very similar to Tableau Desktop. The only difference between it and Tableau Desktop is that you can easily publish the workbooks and reports that you create using it online.
