I could be OK with it if it exported some crappy machine-generated SQL, which lots of other tools can do. But yes, when you use these tools you're at the mercy of the vendor and their willingness to play well with others. From a purely selfish perspective Alteryx is a disaster for me because I often need to see inside business process and Alteryx obstructs this more than other tools. But users swear by it so I have to grudgingly admit it's a "good" tool.
