Anyone use this for work?
I just gained access to a license for a project and am getting familiar with it. I like the interface and it is a logical workflow but it is taking some time to grow accustomed to the functions all over the ribbon.

I was looking at something similar from Microsoft I believe...what do you use it for? I would like to apply some analytics to what I do

We have a large data pull (billions of data points) and the basic MS suite could not handle it. Another firm we work with said they use Alteryx so we are giving it a try to work in parallel with them.
Overall, its selling points are that you can blend/manage disparate data sources and then do analysis all in a single tool. It has great predictive and visualization suites/tie in (e.g., Tableau and Qlik) that help on the analysis portion.
To be fair, I am a brand new user that is just learning about its capabilities...so far I am extremely impressed. Coding knowledge is not needed to make it work...everything is workflow visuals (drag and drop icons) with R code in the background.

Do you mean SSIS when you say basic Microsoft suite? I've never witnessed a data breadth problem it couldn't handle, given proper hardware specs. Alteryx shines in its integration with Tableau. It is better suited for big data because that is definitely an area Microsoft has slow played. Are you analyzing those billions of data points in memory?

I'll provide more clarity. The data was too big was Excel and Access to handle so Alteryx was chosen.
What does this mean?
