Alteryx

Drag-and-drop data preparation and analytic automation platform that extends into predictive modeling.

Visit Alteryx Alternatives

Alteryx sits closer to data preparation than to a full ML platform: its core product is a drag-and-drop workflow designer for blending, cleaning, and automating analytics across spreadsheets, databases, and cloud sources. It extends into predictive and statistical modeling through built-in tools and an R/Python integration, so it is often used as a lightweight entry point to machine learning by analysts who are not primarily coders. Alteryx One, the current packaging, is organized around editions (Starter, Professional, Enterprise), user roles (viewers, basic and full creators), and metered automation runs rather than simple per-seat pricing. Alteryx Designer remains available as installed desktop software alongside the cloud-based Alteryx One offering.
