Alteryx was founded by Dean Stoecker, Olivia Duane Adams, and Ned Harding in 1997. Initially, the company focused on providing geospatial analytics software. Over time, it expanded its offerings to include a broader range of data analytics and visualization capabilities, eventually evolving into the data analytics platform known as Alteryx.
Alteryx enables users to prepare, blend, and analyze data from various sources. It provides a user-friendly interface to perform tasks such as data cleansing, transformation, and predictive analytics without requiring extensive coding skills.
Alteryx supports connectivity with BigQuery, Redshift and Snowflake, using legacy technologies, such as ODBC. However, cloud support and data scalability is limited, handling datasets with a few thousand features.
Alteryx is a closed-source product, but it can integrate with some open source tools.
