What is tableau prep vs desktop?

Question

Could someone tell me what is Tableau Prep vs Desktop?

Answer 1

Tableau Prep is an ETL tool (Extract, Transform, and Load) that is used to cleanse large amounts of data, to enable them to be used by data scientists and analysts to harness insights.

Whereas, Tableau Desktop is a data visualization tool that is used to create interactively and attractive dashboards, from the cleansed data that has gone through Tableau prep.

Both tools serve different purposes.
