A client has a Tableau Cloud deployment. Currently, dashboards are available only to internal users.
The client needs to embed interactive Tableau visualizations on their public website.
Data is < 5,000 rows, updated infrequently via manual refresh.
Cost is a priority.
Which product should the client use?
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
Tableau documentation explains:
Tableau Public
Free platform.
Allows public sharing and embedding of fully interactive dashboards.
Ideal for small datasets and infrequent updates.
Does not require user-based licensing.
Embedding is unrestricted because all content is publicly visible.
This perfectly matches the scenario:
Public-facing website
Low cost priority
Small dataset
Manual, infrequent updates
Why the other options are incorrect:
A . Tableau Cloud (per user)
Requires paid licenses.
Does not allow unrestricted public embedding without expensive add-ons.
Designed for secure internal use, not public web-wide embedding.
C . Tableau Embedded Analytics
A paid embedding solution requiring proper licensing.
Designed for large-scale, secure, programmatic embedding --- too costly for this use case.
D . Tableau Server (per core)
Requires server infrastructure & licensing.
Far more expensive than Tableau Public.
Thus, Tableau Public is the correct, cost-effective solution.
