Sometimes two are better than one. That’s definitely the case with Alteryx Project Edition and Tableau 8.0.
Tableau has gotten a lot of press lately, and with good reason. It has elevated data discovery and visualization to center stage, rather than as an afterthought, or yet another addition to a bloated portfolio of BI offerings from traditional vendors. As the Gold Sponsor of the Tableau roadshow earlier this year, we’ve seen firsthand how excited analysts are to be using Tableau. But the more you use Tableau, the more likely you’re going to need Alteryx. There are two main reasons why.
The first is the data itself. The more data sets you have the harder it can be to create a rich unified dataset that you can visualize and explore using Tableau. Try blending four or more datasets, and you can quickly become bogged down. Start pulling together diverse datasets from flat files, to customer transaction data from the data warehouse, to data from Salesforce, to 3rd-party and spatial data, and it’s easy to get lost trying to pull together a coherent picture of what’s happening and what you should do.
Secondly, as analysts ramp their skills with Tableau, they not only want rich datasets to explore, they also want access to sophisticated capabilities like predictive and spatial analytics. They want to do more, see more, and get more out of their data, but find it aggravating to bridge the gap between traditional tools (such as SAS and ESRI) and Tableau.
It is time to eliminate the data and analytic roadblocks holding back your use of Tableau. Alteryx Project Edition provides the robust and sophisticated data blending and analytics your project requires. Quickly build robust data and analytic workflows in Alteryx using over 150 drag-and-drop tools, and then output the results directly into native Tableau with Alteryx as the first analytic platform to provide native TDE file formats for use with Tableau 8.0.
See for yourself how far you can push the limits of your analytics with a combination of Tableau and Alteryx Project Edition. Download Project Edition today and get started building the rich datasets and analytics you need for Tableau.
