![]() ![]() Union by position or manual instead of just by name. IMO: Things Alteryx does that Tableau Prep doesn't (or doesn't do well yet):Ĭustom renders of documents (PDF, Word, Powerpoint, etc) with multiple components (text, images, charts, etc.)Ĭustom emails with dynamic (to, from, subjects, etc.), text, images, and attachmentsĭetailed error logs for troubleshooting (errors, conversion errors, warnings, messages) Alteryx also has significantly more tools that perform more functions. This alone might be enough to build your business case. Check your data sources to see which are available in each product. And Alteryx offers A LOT more.Īlteryx has more input and output options. However, advanced power users will want all the functionality that Alteryx offers. It is easier to learn and has a more intuitive user experience for most beginner users. They are both great products! Tableau Prep gets the job done for basic data connections and light data transformations. Hi train new users in both Tableau Prep and Alteryx. Finally, the data interpreter is a nice little feature that Prep (and Desktop) has for quick and simple - but often necessary - fixes. Together, Alteryx and Tableau round out the process by leveraging the power of Alteryx to easily discover, prep, blend, enrich, and analyze data before sharing insights at scale through beautiful Tableau dashboards. The only major downside I can think of immediately is having to pay a decent chunk for each Alteryx license, whereas Prep (should) already be included with Desktop if your organisation already uses Tableau. Tableau is great at helping people understand their data visually, but that’s just a fraction of the entire data analytics process. For other commonly-used tools like Summarize and RegEx I also find Alteryx way more user-friendly and less confusing to use. ![]() The predictive suite is awesome as well, with the option to bring in external tooling to allow for R/Python packages and also the ability to build and store custom macros and such, too.Ĭustom layout of the canvas in terms of where tools can be dropped and organised, also with the help of containers to help arrange sections of the flow and enable/disable groups of tools with one click.Īs mentioned at the outset, Alteryx already has capability for multi-row and multi-field applications, along with other ‘low-hanging fruit’ features that are needed often, like Record ID. The examples within each tool are brilliant and in terms of the interface itself, there’s a lot of guidance/self-explanatory configuration. I have experience using both and would say that Alteryx is far more intuitive, especially for new or inexperienced users. They are only just set to release a few features which Alteryx has had for years, such as Record ID and multi-row functionality. Alteryx effectively visualizes the flow of data and what happens at each stage. After watching the Tableau conference the other week, it’s clear they are quite far behind. ![]()
