In-Depth Features of Tableau Advanced Management

Operational Insights

For Tableau administrators, understanding the nuances of your environment is crucial. In Tableau Cloud, the Activity Log provides detailed data on user actions, helping you audit and control data and content permissions. Admin Insights further allows tracking of adoption, content usage, and visualisation performance with customisable dashboards.

In Tableau Server, the Resource Monitoring Tool helps track how Tableau's processes affect your hardware, with alerts for potential issues before they escalate, ensuring smooth operation.

Content Management

The Tableau Content Migration Tool offers a no-code solution that simplifies content promotion across development and production environments. This tool allows users of all technical levels to easily define migration plans, enhancing efficiency and consistency in content management.

Security Enhancements

Data security is paramount, and Tableau provides robust options to protect your data. In Tableau Cloud, manage encryption keys with options to create, rotate, audit, or delete, leveraging Salesforce Shield Key Broker for a comprehensive defence strategy. For Tableau Server, integrate with AWS KMS or Azure Key Vault to centralise key management, enhancing security and compliance.

Scaling Your Analytics

Scale your analytics smoothly with Tableau. Tableau Cloud offers up to 5 TB of storage and enhanced capacity for concurrent operations, ensuring data is available when needed.
