Alteryx
I would recommend for every data preparation workflow / process where business users are involved. Alteryx is just easier and does not need any technical knowledge. The simple drag and drop surface is easy to learn, read and maintain. On the other hand I would now recommend it for big data (1 TB +) or data science. While it does provide some tools for data science and it's a nice starting, it is definitely not good for productionizing data science (yet).

Paxata can be highly useful to someone who doesn't like/have any experience with writing codes to treat data before using it as input into BI dashboards. Paxata can accelerate data cleaning in environments where a large amount of unclean data is generated and business decisions on the go are required. It performs really well while dealing with natural language.

Pros
Alteryx
- Pulling data from multiple disparate data sources.
- Allows users to see the data at every step of the workflow to be able to cleanse, analyze, and optimize the data.
- Provides an analytics platform that is easy for users of all levels to thrive in whether they are just starting out in their analytics journey or they have a master's degree in Data Science.

- Visualize distributions in large data sets effectively which enable the user to quickly spot outliers and treat them appropriately
- Provides recommendation to merge datasets based on matching column values
- The cluster and edit feature in my opinion is its most powerful feature and reduces cardinality in column with text

Cons
Alteryx
- A larger library of data sources being leveraged/licensed through Alteryx directly similar to the Experian and Dun & Bradstreet data that is available now would be ideal for additional data enrichment.
- The ability to take R and Python-based data insights/model outputs/forecasts/etc. and pull directly into downstream tools and reporting is a bit lacking and could use improvement.
VP of Strategic Analytics

Paxata
- Doesn't provide recommendation on how to impute values
- There is a lag quite often
- We can say whether a column has errors or quality issues in the first look

We've developed a working partnership with Alteryx. As an enablement suite, we're continuing to innovate and deliver great products with use of Alteryx in our solutions. Alteryx use expands to our global product development teams and is in use in multiple parts of our organization. Alteryx also delivers Experian demographic content to other clients in their product offering. We're highly likely to renew, but that decision is way above my pay grade.

There's really not a problem involving data I've come across that I couldn't figure out how to use Alteryx to solve. Their community and help features are very useful, even though the drag and drop functionality combined with a curiosity related to the thrill of solving will get you there 95% of the time.

I use many programs and compared to others, Alteryx virtually never goes down, freezes up or gives an application error. Over a 4 year time period that I have used this program, any of these may have happened 3 times. It is an incredibly stable program that I feel completely confident in.

The User Community provides the first line of support where thousands of users are willing to share their experiences and assist. In the rare cases where they are not able to help then Alteryx is always willing to jump in and help solve the issue.

There is really not much to it (the installation, that is). Once you get it installed, along with any of the add-ons (demographics, R, etc.), you are up and running almost immediately. There is really no additional setup. You can immediately begin blending data, running demographics, performing spatial queries, running predictive analysis, etc. And for many of these functions, the learning curve is quite easy.

Alternatives Considered
Alteryx
Alteryx is feature-rich and allows our team to blend multiple data sources and types together with ease. We are able to really speed through workflow development while strengthening the quality of the output. I would say that Alteryx is able to outdo the other products in the areas of speed of development, quality of output, and ease of scale. The continued releases of additional add-on products to Alteryx Designer allows us to continue into new areas (essentially no ceiling to our growth).

Paxata is a much better tool when it comes to handling natural language but Talend provides recommendations on how to impute missing values and outliers. Paxata provides recommendations on dataset tie-ups and joins but Talend doesn't provide any such recommendations. In paxata you can visualize distribution of data in a column and filter them by dragging and selecting the section you'd like to retain

Return on Investment
Alteryx
- On average, we see the time to deploy to be around 10% of what it would take a SQL team.
- One major client reported a task deemed impossible by a team of around 20 IT employees using SQL over the course of 9 months was done by one consultant using Alteryx in just over 12 days.
- The impact is huge. Every user can now do what every coder can do in a fraction of the time—no need to learn to code.

- It saves time to clean data
- It reduces the requirement of too many data engineer/stewards and hence adds positive impact on the return of the business
