Hi, we recently upgraded our on-prem Tableau Server from 2020.4 to 2023.3.14. Since we don’t upgrade often, we want to ensure we are on the most stable version that will serve us for the next 2–3 years with minimal issues. Should we consider upgrading to a newer version, such as 2024 or any upcoming LTS releases?
Our server hosts 50 users, runs on windows. Stability, security patches, and long-term support are our priorities. Any insights on the best version to settle on for long-term use would be appreciated!
The Tableau Server release cadence is now every 8 months, see https://www.tableau.com/blog/tableau-updates-product-release-cadence
The latest version is 2024.2.7 from https://www.tableau.com/support/releases/server
My advice to clients is always "update frequently", I would not recommend upgrading every 2-3 years as you stated. If you upgrade frequently, upgrades are not hard. The longer time you leave it (as in bigger jumps in versions) the harder the upgrade might become.
