The key takeaways are that Tableau is a data visualization tool used for business intelligence. It was created at Stanford University and allows users to create interactive visualizations and dashboards from various data sources.

The different types of Tableau tools are developer tools like Tableau Desktop and Tableau Public, and sharing tools like Tableau Server, Tableau Online, and Tableau Reader.

Data analytics in Tableau is classified into two parts - developer tools which are used for creation and sharing tools which are used for sharing visualizations and reports created using the developer tools.

TABLEAU HISTORY
• Tableau software is of software company headquartered in Seattle,
Washington, United States that produces interactive data
visualization products focused on business intelligence.
• The company was established at Stanford University’s Department
of Computer Science between 1997 and 2002.
• Professor Pat Hanrahan and Ph.D. student Chris Stolte who
specialized in visualization techniques created the software in the
department of computer science with the aim to explore and analyze
relational database and data cubes
• It is derived from French word Tableaux which means a group of
models or motionless figures representing a scene from a story or
from history.
A list of Tableau tools:
• Tableau Desktop
• Tableau Public
• Tableau Online
• Tableau Server
• Tableau Reader
Data analytics in Tableau is classified into two parts:-
• Developer Tools:- The Tableau tools which are used for development
such as the creation of charts, dashboards, report generation and
visualization are known as developer's tools. Tableau Desktop and the
Tableau Public, are the example of this type.
• Sharing Tools:- The role of these tools are sharing the reports,
visualizations, and dashboards that were created using the developer
tools. The Tableau tools that fall into this category are Tableau Server,
Tableau Online, and Tableau Reader.
Tableau Desktop
• Tableau Desktop has a rich feature set and allows us to code and customize
reports. Right from creating the reports, charts to blending them all to form a
dashboard, all the necessary work is created in Tableau Desktop.
• Based on the connectivity to the publishing option and data sources, Tableau
Desktop is also classified into two parts-
• Tableau Desktop Personal:- The personal version of the Tableau desktop keeps
the workbook private, and the access is limited. The workbooks can't be published
online. So, it should be distributed either offline or in Tableau public.
• Tableau Desktop Professional:- It is similar to Tableau desktop. The main
difference is that the workbooks created in the Tableau desktop can be published
online or in Tableau server. In the professional version, there is full access to all
sorts datatypes. It is best for those who want to publish their workbook in Tableau
server.
Tableau Public
• This Tableau version is specially built for cost-effective users. The word 'Public'
means that the created workbooks cannot be saved locally. They should be kept
on the Tableau's public cloud, which can be accessed and viewed by anyone.
Tableau Server
• The software is correctly used to share the workbooks, visualizations, which is
created in the Tableau Desktop application over the organization. To share
dashboards in the Tableau Server, you should first publish your workbook in the
Tableau Desktop. Once the workbook has been uploaded to the server, it will be
accessible only to the authorized users.
Tableau Reader
• Tableau Reader is a free tool which allows us to view the visualizations and
workbooks, which is created using Tableau Desktop or Tableau Public. The data
can be filtered, but modifications and editing are restricted. There is no security
in Tableau Reader as anyone can view workbook using Tableau Reader.
Download and Installation of Tableau
• Tableau is available in two ways:-
• Tableau Public (Free)
• Tableau Desktop (Commercial)
Tableau Public
• Tableau Public is a free and open-source.
• Tableau public data source can connect to Excel and Text files.
• Tableau public can be installed on Window and Mac operating system.
• Data and Visualizations are not secured in the Tableau public because it is
available in public.
• In Tableau public, data cannot be obtained from different data sources as it is
limited to connect only Excel and Text files.
• Tableau public uses the details at Personal level.
Tableau Desktop
• Tableau Desktop is a paid source, personal edition- $35 per month and
professional edition- $70 per month.
• Tableau desktop data source can connect to any data source file,
including databases, web applications, and more.
• Tableau desktop can also install on Window and Mac operating system.
• Data and Visualization are secured in Tableau desktop.
• In Tableau desktop, data can extract from various data sources and
stored as Tableau extract file.
• Tableau desktop uses the details at Professional and Enterprise level.
ADVANTAGES:
• Data Visualization:- Tableau is a data visualization tool, and provides complex
computation, data blending, and dashboarding for creating beautiful data
visualizations.
• Quickly Create Interactive Visualization:- Users can create a very interactive
visual by using drag n drop functionalities of Tableau.
• Comfortable in Implementation:- Many types of visualization options are
available in Tableau, which enhances the user experience. Tableau is very easy to
learn in comparison to Python. Who don't have any idea about coding, they also
can quickly learn Tableau.
• Tableau can Handle Large Amounts of Data:- Tableau can easily handle
millions of rows of data. A large amount of data can create different types of
visualization without disturbing the performance of the dashboards. As well as,
there is an option in Tableau where the user can make 'live' to connect different
data sources like SQL, etc.
• Mobile Support and Responsive Dashboard:- Tableau Dashboard has an
excellent reporting feature that allows you to customize dashboard
specifically for devices like a mobile or laptops. Tableau automatically
understands which device is viewing the report by the user and make
adjustments to ensure that accurate report is delivered to the right device.
DISADVANTAGES
High Cost
• Tableau is not the most expensive visualization software, especially compared to
such business intelligence giants as Oracle’s and IBM’s solutions. All the same,
the license is quite costly for most small to medium companies, which makes it
one of the considerable Tableau’s disadvantages.
No predictive analytical capabilities
• Tableau Software allows users only to analyze what has happened. It does not
support any predictive or statistical capabilities. For example, Tableau does not
support SAS, S+, R, etc.
No version control
• There is no option to revert back to previous levels of data in Tableau. The
moment the dashboards and reports are published on the server, it is not possible
to go back and recover old data.
