Tableau is a business intelligence and data visualization platform, now part of Salesforce, for exploring, analyzing, and sharing data. It targets analysts and business users who want strong self-service visualization, with embedded analytics and AI features (via Einstein and Tableau Pulse). The platform is proprietary but self-hostable via Tableau Server, and Tableau Public offers a free option for public work, with paid per-user plans beyond it. It sits in the mid pricing tier. Tableau carries SOC2, ISO27001, and HIPAA compliance.
