Alteryx
Analytics automation platform that blends and preps data, builds code free and code friendly workflows, and deploys predictive models with governed sharing at scale.
Overview
Alteryx helps analysts and data engineers move from raw data to insights using repeatable workflows. Drag and drop tools profile, clean and join datasets from files, databases and cloud warehouses; macros and analytic apps parameterize processes for reuse. Advanced users embed Python and R or leverage built in predictive tools for modeling.
Workflows run on desktop or in the cloud, with scheduling and governance so results are shareable and auditable. Templates and connectors speed integration with Salesforce, Snowflake and more. Pricing is packaged by edition with Designer desktop and cloud options and enterprise bundles; public pages list entry pricing for cloud Starter per user per month billed annually, while classic Designer desktop is often quoted per user per year.
Teams adopt Alteryx to standardize analytics beyond spreadsheets and reduce manual effort with reliable automations.
