Hi People,

I'm trying to figure out difference between Alteryx Designer and Alteryx Server ( I know it might sound like comparing apples with oranges) . Basically the idea is , I'm trying to figure out need of upgrading Alteryx Server over Alteryx Designer.

@Vinodh15 there are millions of possible reasons why one might need server.

Generally speaking....

If more than one user in the organization already uses Designer, then Server is a compliment to (NOT alternative to) Designer.

If you need a web interface from which to share Alteryx Apps... you need server (w Gallery).

If you need a single machine (or cluster) to process scheduled workflows for multiple users... you need server.

If you are running on a machine that isn't always on and you need to schedule workflows, but your organization has a Windows server... you need server.

If you are a single user that doesn't expect to share apps, needs to schedule workflows and already runs an “always on” machine (like a server-based VM)... you need Designer with Automation.

@Vinodh15 That would really require more knowledge about how you use Alteryx or want to use it. Can you provide any description of the work?

Is Alteryx designer install on standalone machine and Alteryx Designer install for server machine are the same?

Or there is different Alteryx software require for Users machine and server machine?

Could you please explain?

Also is there is a cost difference for local machine Designer software and Server Machine Alteryx Desinger?

Thank you in advance.
