Our verdict

Tableau Public (the desktop app is called Tableau Desktop Public Edition) is the free way to learn Tableau. Analytics students use it to build dashboards and publish them to a Tableau Public profile as a portfolio. Anything you publish there is visible to everyone, but the desktop app can also save workbooks locally, so you can work on private data offline. The download form asks for your email.
