Connect to all your data
Whether it’s in a spreadsheet, a SQL database, Hadoop, or the cloud, you can connect to any data, anywhere. Access big data with a click. Combine disparate data sources without writing code. Discover what all your data has to say.
Explore and discover
How many opportunities are hiding in your data? Tableau Desktop is a product that everyone can use to ask new questions, spot trends, identify opportunities, and make data-guided decisions with confidence.
Tell powerful stories
Create interactive presentations. Control the narrative while allowing your audience to explore. Let your data do the talking.
Answer deeper questions
Real analytics demands more than a pretty dashboard. Build new calculations from existing data, drag in reference lines and forecasts, and access statistical summaries. Experiment with trend analyses, regressions and correlations.
But wait! There's more.
Big data, live or in-memory
When you want to take data offline or bring it in-memory, Tableau’s Data Engine lets you extract data for ad-hoc analysis of massive data in seconds. It combines advances in database and computer graphics technology so you can analyze huge datasets on a laptop.
Governance and sharing
Communicate with data in a whole new way. Curate data models and build dashboards, then share them securely using Tableau Server or Tableau Online. Create a culture of data-guided decision-making around a single source of truth.
Always innovating
Tableau's software moves as fast as you do. We invest more in R&D than anyone else in the industry. There's always a new release around the corner. Learn about what's new in Tableau 10.

Jetsuite:
Let your data take flight.
Right off the bat, it was very easy to use. We were using some other tools, and it took weeks or months. With Tableau, we were able to do it in a quarter of the time. The senior-level executives were astounded.
Carlson Rezidor:
Answer tough questions.
One of our senior executive members asked for a very complex visualization. We wouldn't have even been able to answer the question before. It took us an hour to put together a visualization and send it back. We are now able to answer business questions in minutes versus days.
