What is the difference between Tableau Desktop, Tableau Server, Tableau Public and Tableau Online?

Tableau Interview Question :

What is the difference between Tableau Desktop, Tableau Server, Tableau Public and Tableau Online?
Ans: Tableau Desktop:- All your development is done here. From creating reports, charts, formatting them, putting them together as a dashboard all the work is done on Tableau Desktop.

Tableau Server:- The dashboards you create are shared with other users using Tableau Server. When you upload(publish) a Dashboard to Tableau Server from Tableau Desktop, other users can access those Dashboards by logging on Tableau Server.

Tableau Public:- It's a free product from Tableau. Visualization Enthusiast can play with data using Tableau Public. It has its limitation. You can only use limited data(no. of rows), can only connect excel or text file (no database connectivity) & anything you save in Tableau Public will be saved on Tableau Public Sever which anyone can download (no confidentiality).

Tableau Online:- I haven't use Tableau online but it's an alternative to Tableau Server in which the servers are on Cloud. Servers are not maintained by users but by Tableau guys. Needs subscription fees.
