Frequently asked questions
Are enterprise prices available?
Yes. Tableau’s subscription offerings make it easier than ever to plan and scale analytics across your organisation, including volume discounts where applicable. You can learn more about enterprise subscription licensing here.
How do I decide on the right mix of users for my organisation?
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 Online and Tableau Server?
The initial licensing cost for Tableau Online 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 Online, 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 organisation?
No, our add-ons are purchased at a Tableau Server deployment level or a site level for Tableau Online.
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.
