Alteryx Designer Cloud vs. Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud

For doing ETL and data transformations where your data is already in a cloud environment Alteryx Designer Cloud is ideal. It allows for the continued democratisation of data and analytics to permeate more extensively throughout a business, particularly those that are already in the cloud or have cloud services in place and are comfortable with procurement and consumption of these systems over and above desktop software. The ETL processing for data validation and wrangling uses machine learning to enable highly efficient data manipulation which saves lots of time and this is a distinct advantage over the desktop software. The expansion and integration of other Alteryx cloud services such as ML, Metrics Store and App builder will only strengthen this position

Collibra is well suited where you have multiple reporting environments and multiple source systems. Collibra works well in our environment because we can delegate roles and administration to departments or it can be used in a centralized environment. The ability to customize attributes and assets as well and integrate using the rest api is very important to us.

Our IT group presented Trifacta to me. They picked it out and among the crowd for me. This was way beyond ETL tools, SQL, or any programming language. It's just much faster and because it's sitting on Hadoop you bypass some of the slowdowns typically faced with RDBMS.

Collibra offers more features [than alternatives] and is easy for business users to use. We did a proof of concept with Collibra using the Cloud service that allowed us to kick the tires and get a comfort level before we made the investment. At the time of our purchase the market was very immature and is continuing to evolve.

Incentivized

• Increased productvity by 5x
• Reduced costs of running and patching desktop and server based software entirely

• ROI is hard to measure because there are so many soft benefits that come from the tool. We do have a variety of metrics that we track using Collibra to better gauge the maturity of data governance.
