Comprehensive NetSuite Data Access and Discovery
Make NetSuite Data Tableau-Ready Instantly
Many SaaS and NoSQL sources don't support SQL-like queries, often requiring complex transformation before use in Tableau. The NetSuite Connector simplifies this by exposing rich metadata for automated data discovery, with intelligent row scanning, type detection, and relationship mapping. It also supports unstructured data, letting you explore your NetSuite data natively within Tableau's familiar interface—no prep work required.

The CData connector enables you to interact with NetSuite using standard SQL—the language Tableau speaks natively. Whether you're using Tableau's visual query builder or writing Custom SQL, the connector translates your queries to retrieve real-time data from NetSuite. With comprehensive ANSI-92 SQL support including filtering, GROUP BY, JOINs, and aggregations, you can perform complex analytical queries even in Live Connection mode, joining NetSuite data with other data sources seamlessly.

Getting Started
Does the NetSuite Tableau Connector support Tableau Cloud?
Tableau Cloud does not support the deployment of custom connectors. As a result, deploying reports that connect NetSuite and Tableau cloud is not possible with the CData Tableau connector for NetSuite.
Instead, NetSuite Tableau cloud connectivity is possible through CData Connect AI. Connect AI is a SaaS platform that provides real-time access to all your cloud data from Tableau Desktop or Tableau Cloud. No coding, installation, or special skills required.
Where can I find the Tableau NetSuite connector download?
All of the CData Tableau Connectors for NetSuite integration are freely available for download online. A 30-day trial of the Tableau NetSuite download can be found alongside other supported Tableau NetSuite integration technologies like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, SQL Server SSIS, and more.
What is the difference between a Tableau NetSuite Driver and the CData NetSuite Tableau Connector?
Unlike a Tableau NetSuite driver, CData offers a native Tableau NetSuite connector for a seamless and optimized experience. Tableau drivers typically rely on an ODBC or JDBC layer, requiring separate tableau add ins, installation and configuration. A NetSuite Tableau driver delivered this way can introduce latency due to external driver dependencies. In contrast, CData connectors provide native Tableau analytics connectivity, delivering optimized performance through direct integration.
