A Cloud Guru (Linux Academy) vs Alteryx

• The videos are short and easy to ingest. This is super important! Long videos get boring and people lose interest quickly
• New training videos for new technology are always being added regularly
• In addition to new videos, existing training videos are updated when software or technology changes, ensure that you always have current information while you're learning

• Alteryx does a great job of allowing more beginner Analysts to automate many of their routine process but also allowing advanced Analysts to ability to leverage deep statistical modelling for predictive analytics.
• Given the visual workflow nature of Alteyrx, the learning curve is not steep.
• The Alteryx Gallery allows non-technical consumers to execute complex workflows by leveraging an intuitive web interface.
• Alteryx allows data scientists to bring their own programming language to Altyerx, such as R or Python.

• The merger with A Cloud Guru has confused things a bit. They're slowly replacing the Linux academy branded training with ACG training (which is fine) but if we found ourselves losing access to training videos while we were in the midst of watching them
• A more robust community would be nice. There's the Slack channel, but I wish there was more robust community features
• It would be nice to be able to download videos locally on desktops and laptops. This helps greatly with rewinding the video to reiterate key learning points

• Sometimes the desktop version of authoring tool crashes! It's been unstable in the previous versions but gets better. Even if it doesn't crash, it used to be slow or not responding.
• When running several version of database drivers in local machine or server, it is tricky to set up database connections. Often you have to figure out it by googling the problem and solution. There are not many knowledge bases from Alteryx.
• Alteryx project file creates .bak file automatically. It is useful to prevent for the purpose of back up, sometimes it's not necessary. But it is not changeable for some reason. By default, it always creates backups.

• Alteryx does an excellent job of integrating consumer and spatial data to calculate and visualize things like locations within a certain drive-time radius.
• For visualization purposes I had to move the data to excel for some decent graphs.
• It can become very expensive.
