Tableau Desktop- Does it require Tableau Server ?

    Does Tableau Desktop Professional require Tableau Server? I know they are two different products that are shipped separately, but I am wondering what your business requirements would be if you were to use both Desktop and Server?

    Basically, what can you do with Desktop and Server that you cannot do with just Desktop?

    You do not need Tableau Server for the use of Tableau Desktop! The advantage of Tableau server comes in if you want to use collaborative features and distribute dashboards easily inside the organisation

    Tableau desktop is for creating some visual thing from the raw data like flat file or the data which is on the server,

    and beside that Tableau server browser based used to publish from tableau desktop and manage the dashboards through mobile and browser. hope you got the answer between tableau desktop and server.

    Yes, These 2 are two different products.Please find below definitions in layman terms:

    Normally Desktop is used to create all different visualizations by connecting /blending different data sources & its mandatory for every one to use this

    However, Server is not a mandatory product but you can use this to store your daily data (which will help you to run your queries faster as compared to when you connect to some external database or source)

    Hoping this will help everyone to understand. Thanks!
