In their own words
Alteryx Designer
Alteryx Designer brings data preparation, blending, and predictive, statistical, and spatial analytics into a visual workflow environment. Users arrange drag-and-drop tools on a canvas that records each analysis step; the product page describes more than 300 automation tools. Its low-code and no-code capabilities cover spatial and prescriptive analytics, as well as extracting insights from PDFs, text files, and images. Ask Alteryx can build workflows from natural-language requests, and the AI Tool Palette can add LLMs to workflows. The product page lists connections to more than 80 data sources and outputs to over 70 tools, including cloud connectors such as Snowflake and Databricks. SDKs let users add custom tools and formulas using multiple programming languages. Designer Desktop requires Windows; macOS use is listed through a virtual machine. A separate Designer Cloud runs in a browser with current Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. Starter Edition costs $250 a month, billed annually, for 1–10 seats, cloud-only use, and CSV, XLSX, and JSON file sources.
