Overall Satisfaction with Alteryx Designer Cloud

Designer cloud is a game changer for Alteryx since it allows users who are comfortable with cloud delivered services to benefit from a similar user experience to Alteryx desktop products. Since it's functionality is growing rapidly it won't be long before the tooling available is also the same but for the meantime, being able to do ETL, prep and blend and other important functions to wrangle data without the costs of managing the infrastructure is very exciting. This coupled with the other elements of the product suite in the cloud such as Alteryx Auto Insights and ML make for a very strong cloud offering.
  • Cloud based prep, blend, ETL and machine learning based data wrangling
  • Low code no code data extraction, transformation and outputs to multiple sources
  • ability to connect natively to AWS Snowflake and other industry standard lakehouse providers
  • The current functionality is not as extensive as the desktop products but this is being recitifed quickly with monthly updates
  • The interface is slightly different to the desktop products but this only takes a few minutes to work out
  • Cloud based
  • automated workflows
  • Flexible and fast data connections to data warehouses/lakes
  • integration with other Alteryx cloud products.
  • Increased productvity by 5x
  • Reduced costs of running and patching desktop and server based software entirely

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.
