Frequently Asked Questions
Are enterprise prices available?
Yes. Tableau Enterprise Subscription Plans make it easier and more cost-effective to empower everyone with trusted and governed data, driving greater success at scale and better business outcomes. Contact us to learn more about Enterprise Subscription Plans.
How do I decide the right mix of users for my organization?
Choosing the right mix of Creators, Explorers, and Viewers depends on a few different factors. Please read here for more information on this topic.
Why is there a pricing different between Tableau Cloud and Tableau Server?
The initial licensing cost for Tableau Cloud is slightly higher to account for the additional infrastructure we use to host the service. However, many customers see a lower total cost of ownership with Tableau Cloud, because they no longer have to pay for hardware and maintenance expenses.
Do I need to purchase the Data Management Add-on or Server Management Add-on for my entire organization?
No, our Add-ons are purchased at a Tableau Server Deployment level or a site level for Tableau Cloud.
What if I have fewer than 100 users, can I buy the Data Management or Server Management Add-on?
Yes, you can buy either add-on for a fixed fee. Please contact sales for additional information.
