Strength of Alteryx Designer against Azure Data Factory from Data Blending aspect?

Question

We know that Alteryx Designer is a very powerful tool to prepare and blend data, but when promoting to IT and management, they would always ask why not using cost effective options like Azure Data Factory to do the same thing.   Do you have any comparison summary that can highlight the outstanding advantage of Alteryx?  Many thanks!

When you aren't in charge, you don't get to off-load and the question, switching it over to someone else. Typically you already have Azure Data Factory so you have to justify using Alteryx instead.

It would be really good to know the advantages of Alteryx

I would ask how many people can deliver value from Azure compare to Alteryx. In which amount of time and at which risk (man key risk is probably higher).

The goal of Alteryx is to democratize analytics so every one can create value at scale.
