Overview

Infotopics Apps for Tableau are available in two deployment models: Share and Enterprise.

Both options provide the same core product functionality. The difference lies in where the product is hosted, who manages it, and how it fits into your organisation’s security, network, and operational requirements.

This section helps you:

• Understand the differences between Share and Enterprise

• Decide which option fits your organisation

• Understand migration scenarios between both models

When to choose Share vs Enterprise

Choose Share if you want:

• Fast onboarding

• Minimal infrastructure management

• A fully managed SaaS solution

• Easy compatibility with Tableau Cloud

Choose Enterprise if you need:

• On-premises or private cloud deployment

• Full control over infrastructure and upgrades

• Custom security, networking, or compliance requirements

In practice:

• Share is most commonly chosen by cloud-first teams and Tableau Cloud users

• Enterprise is typically chosen by organisations with established IT governance or regulatory constraints
