Tableau Public is a free platform to explore, create, and publicly share data visualizations online. Users can create data visualizations using the site's web authoring tool or by downloading Tableau Desktop Public Edition for free after account sign-up.
Another main limitation of Tableau Public is that unlike the paid Tableau Desktop tool, with Tableau Public you cannot save your workbook locally. It only allows you to save and publish data into the cloud (and publically available). The main limitation here is that you cannot save it and perhaps send it to someone else with a paid version of Tableau to work on.
On May 17, 2013, Tableau launched an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange,[44] raising more than $250 million.[45] Prior to its IPO, Tableau raised over $45 million in venture capital investment from investors such as the NEA and Meritech.[45]
