Getting Started
Does the Zoho CRM Tableau Connector support Tableau Cloud?
Tableau Cloud does not support the deployment of custom connectors. As a result, deploying reports that connect Zoho CRM and Tableau cloud is not possible with the CData Tableau connector for Zoho CRM.
Instead, Zoho CRM 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 Zoho CRM connector download?
All of the CData Tableau Connectors for Zoho CRM integration are freely available for download online. A 30-day trial of the Tableau Zoho CRM download can be found alongside other supported Tableau Zoho CRM integration technologies like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, SQL Server SSIS, and more.
What is the difference between a Tableau Zoho CRM Driver and the CData Zoho CRM Tableau Connector?
Unlike a Tableau Zoho CRM driver, CData offers a native Tableau Zoho CRM 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 Zoho CRM 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.
