Hence, Tableau will complement and accelerate innovation focusing on customer needs.
Salesforce CRM analytics will continue to remain at the core
Salesforce is proud to have one of the best analytics for CRM with its Einstein Analytics and Datorama products.

Tableau will outstretch Salesforce into data-driven engagement
Tableau is powered with capabilities to lead data-driven customer engagement. For instance, it can provide better insights about campaign performance, offers, customer activity and website engagement to help enterprises to optimize marketing tactics. To the sales team of a company, it can impart increased pipeline metrics, seller performance, and forecasting of their sales funnel.
And here’s how Tableau addresses customer support: Tableau renders detailed visibility into emerging issues, agent performance, customer health, as well as resolves customer service bottlenecks. It helps enterprises to optimize costs associated with call-centers services and other ways to deliver better experiences. All these data-driven capabilities are believed to outreach existing Salesforce capabilities.
Salesforce will broaden its reach beyond CRM

Isn’t this a good thing? Also, enterprises can eliminate the need to depend on different technology vendors to help them manage the offerings and services. Now salesforce consulting services in creating better customer experiences are highly impactful.
