Here are 10 things I love about Alteryx (I also have a thing for rhymes):
10 – The name…ALTERYX…like mine, has many pronunciations.
How do you say it? It doesn’t really matter.
It can fall like a tear or rip like a tear…
Or it can do ‘all the tricks’ -
I prefer the latter.
9 – I get to build something… as poetic as this Haiku:
Click. Drag. Drop. Connect.
Intersect spatial object.
Expect. Run. Correct.
8 – I can build it anyway I want.
So there!
7 – What I build is repeatable.
I used to have to develop by checklist.
No step could ever be missed.
Now it's ~build and run~ and then run and run…
It is this way my work is more fun!
6- What I build is improvable.
5 – When I get stuck, someone always knows the answer.
Once upon a time, when you had an Alteryx question there was just @Ned-
He’s still here, and no one has more cred,
only now, Alteryx knowledge is more widespread.
You see, the Alteryx Community has the best and brightest heads,
posting great information, thread after thread!
4 – Regex gives (.*) -any single character zero or more times- super powers!
3 – My best work is in there.
Everytime a workflow is shared, I beam with pride
The last 11 years have been a wild ride...
From icons to docs, each and every release,
To ideas, GUI text, and regression test beasts.
Demos, training, and replicating bugs...
Hearing anyone say they love Alteryx feels like a thousand hugs!
2 - Someone once told me, you learn something new every day and THAT’s what makes life worth living.
Every time I place tools on the canvas I learn something. Every. Single. Time.
1 – Alteryx lets me do some pretty awesome things.
Like brainstorm with my team on storyboards for a promo video, create 100 or so new badges for the community, learn about astronomy to create a fun rank structure, create a homework app for my kid, or even a little online research for the best top 10 lists of all time.
