Alteryx version dedicated to Mac OS X?

[Atabarezz]

Idea:

An Alteryx version for Mac OS X sounded like a nice idea... Although there are options for using bootcamp with windows 7-8

or some virtualisation software as mentioned in a community post here.

Rationale 1 (Competitors do it):

First of all there is no need to neglect a customer segment using Mac's.

• Rapidminer Studio comes with a dedicated OS X version,
• Knime has Mac OS X support 
• Weka has Mac OS X support as well
• SPSS Modeler is Windows only but SPSS Stats is Mac OS X compatible.

Seems SAS was compatable in the last decade, but they dropped it. Now SAS is not OS X compatible but

still with the "SAS OnDemand" version Mac users can easly get a hands on experience.

Rationale 2:

The Mac Pro Beast has 7.2 TFlops of computing power with the help of dual ATI graphics cards.

It would be awesome to install Alteryx on one...

Any news on this? It has been more than a year since the last official communication.

I hope the team can do something to have native support for MacOs

This is an absolutely must.

I wonder how much of market share is Alteryx losing by not having a MACOS version?

Tableau Prep Builder is growing quickly (and just yesterday it was announced it will soon run on Browser!) and it came since first version with MAC compatibility.

So here we are, still. 

Any updates on a mac OS version?  Is it fair to say that there's no appetite for that market or population? Yes, vmware is an option, but should that be the answer? 

Looking forward...

I am a Mac user. I would also prefer not to have to use a VM to run Alteryx.

Many tools from other competitors have the Mac version....

For a company to ignore this issue for 5 years is a bit of a bummer.  When will Alteryx realize they are offering the same concept as Apple: a more user-friendly, productive product that anyone can pick up and intuitively use?  Alteryx is the Mac of python/r, so why not connect with a customer base that wants user experience more than anything by natively supporting Alteryx on Mac?

Additionally, accepting a solution, but never delivering results - is the same as denying a solution while silencing user feedback.

Hi @Jesse89 !

Thank you for your feedback! We understand that this idea is a long time coming, however the Alteryx development team is actively listening to all feedback they get and are doing their best to ensure customer satisfaction and the inclusion of features that would benefit our customers most. This idea in particular is a big project for our developers, and is actually being addressed by our web-based Designer that was demonstrated at Inspire 2019. We're excited for this version of Designer to launch, however we appreciate your patience while we complete development on this new version of Designer.

I'm currently assessing Alteryx, but am finding out that my company's Information Security organization may not be allowing virtual machines on Macs, so that would mean we can't purchase Alteryx.

So I would imagine this is affecting Alteryx's opportunity with teams using Macs and I will very much be looking forward to an a Mac version!
