When discussing artificial intelligence, Salesforce inevitably comes to mind. Salesforce has rolled out its AI-powered tool, CRM Analytics (previously known as Tableau CRM & Einstein Analytics), designed to enhance the predictive capabilities within its Customer Relationship Management software.
In late 2020, Salesforce renamed Einstein Analytics to Tableau CRM. This platform continues to blend AI and Business Intelligence (BI), with Einstein Discovery remaining tightly integrated. The name “CRM Analytics” was chosen to clear up any confusion between Tableau and Tableau CRM.
Now, let’s explore some of the key features of Salesforce CRM Analytics that can enhance your current business model and significantly boost sales.
CRM Analytics, previously known as Einstein Analytics and Tableau CRM, is Salesforce’s native analytics platform. This powerful tool offers AI-driven, actionable insights, enabling Salesforce users to answer critical questions, streamline workflows, gain recommendations, predict outcomes, and respond proactively.

Salesforce CRM Analytics, also known as Tableau CRM, integrates seamlessly with customer relationship management software to generate dashboards and reports for predictive analytics. Salesforce designed this tool to be flexible, allowing it to connect with other CRMs and harness the power of business intelligence to drive better results. By addressing key business challenges, Tableau CRM provides businesses with deeper insights into their customers.
