Tableau Public
Tableau Public is cloud-hosted and managed by Tableau at no cost. Dashboards that are explicitly intended to be shared publicly may be suitable for Tableau Public. Potential drawbacks are that published dashboards will be viewable world-wide and there is no capability for automated data feed refreshes.
