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...

 Another vote for a native Mac app here! :)

[Saarek]

Another vote for a native Mac OS version please, our company will not allow us to run our data via the cloud.

I can see that there are requests like this going back years, will Alteryx commit to seriously looking at this or not?

[pparboteeah]

Found this article, from last month:

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Knowledge-Base/Install-Alteryx-for-Mac/ta-p/87568

Since the article discusses pros and cons of running Windows on Mac, seems there's not likely to be a Mac version anytime soon.

I am happy to share that we have plans to deliver a version that will run natively on Mac OS. When this is released, we will also include support for running natively on Windows or Linux.

I LOVE your product guys but you really need to develop a MAC option, come on its not that hard...  My company will switching all our machines to MAC.  I have use app with VM and its just a PAIN, I have to run SQL from different sites changing VPN and then I have to go back an forth to by VM.  Oh my.  I rather not.  You know they are others players in the market right? not as good but just behind you, and they DO offer full MAC versions.  Again, you product is awesome, but not having a MAC version is really bad. 
Hope somebody reads this
Respectfully,

Need a native Mac Alteryx Application at least the Alteryx Designer application. You would then beat the competition into a corner.
