Alteryx appears to be considerably more expensive, though. Shouldn’t it take a tool of comparable cost to replace Excel? Especially in self-serve use.
I’m not disputing the quality of the tool, to be clear. It seems like a good change and a totally reasonable line item. Just questioning what it will take to actually replace Excel in a widespread way.

- iagovar 6y agoThe answer to that is Knime. Not as polished, but still way better than Excel.
- leetrout 6y agoThat is a very interesting tool. I’m always interested in visual programming tooling. Thanks for sharing.
- hermitcrab 6y agoMy own Easy Data Transform software (https://www.easydatatransform.com https://www.easydatatransform.com) does a fair amount of what Alteryx does and is just $99 (one time fee). So cheaper than Excel!
- pyromine 6y agoHow is this better than power query? I know this has a visulaization of the transformations, but that's on the roadmap for PQ.
- hermitcrab 6y agoApart from the visual UI (which is a big deal, especially if you have lots of transforms): -wider range of input and output file formats supported (xls/xlsx, fixed width, json, xml, csv, tsv, yaml, html, markdown, vcard) -much faster -45 transforms to choose from -written from scratch for the purpose, rather than grafted on to an existing product -doesn't mangle your data like Excel does!
