Hi everyone,
We are starting to talk about using Tableau Public at our institution. Are you using it, or have you decided NOT to use it? Please comment with your thoughts and any examples of how you are using Tableau Public.
I used it in a prior life when I worked in an academic program, and was the only (non-research) Tableau user at the university.
It worked reasonably well for non-confidential things like what courses would be offered in the coming years.
I'm not quite sure what their license terms are these days for Public - those are worth checking into. I'm a bit uncomfortable with putting anything on Public as I feel it opens up a risk of making an honest mistake and uploading the wrong dataset (especially if you have both Tableau Desktop Pro for internal stuff, and Tableau Public for external stuff).
