Migrating between SaaS and Enterprise

When migration is required

You may need to migrate between SaaS and Enterprise when:

• Moving from trial to production
• Changing hosting models
• Adopting new security or compliance requirements
• Migrating Tableau Server to Tableau Cloud (or vice versa)

---

What changes during migration

• Extension hosting URL
• Extension configuration references
• Deployment responsibility

---

What stays the same

• Core product functionality
• Workbook logic
• User experience

---

Important note on extension URLs

Tableau stores the extension URL inside the workbook. When environments change, the extension URL must be updated.

See Tableau Platform Support → Environment changes & URL migration for details.

Summary

• SaaS and Enterprise offer the same features
• The choice depends on hosting, control, and compliance needs
• Migration is supported and does not require rebuilding workbooks
