Alteryx can be both a value accelerator and a shadow IT factory in medium and large companies. The ever changing balance is determining your organizations ability and willingness for constant dialogue between value and sustainability. Organizations must develop a "SDLC for Alteryx" as well as define uses cases that are appropriate. Otherwise organizations can only accelerate 'shadow IT' and possibly fragment both IT spend/resources and increase data/support risk due to fragmentation.

Alteryx is described as a no code/low code framework and toolset. I recommend you approach it as a low code accelerator. Without training/knowledge of core database, scripting/coding essentials, SQL, R, Python basics, and other technology skills, your users will generate less than optimal value both short and long term. Server costs will be higher, workflows will be unoptimized, sub optimal coding practices, and data security dos and don't will all be areas your organization will eventually need to face possibly after bad habits are the norm.
