About Alteryx
Alteryx is a data analytics and automation platform founded in 1997 (as SRC LLC, rebranded to Alteryx in 2010) in Irvine, California. The company went public on the NYSE in 2017 and was taken private in 2024 by Clearlake Capital and Insight Partners in a deal valued at approximately $4.4 billion. In its final year as a public company, Alteryx reported $938 million in annual recurring revenue. As of April 2026, Alteryx serves thousands of enterprise customers across financial services, healthcare, retail, and government.
Alteryx Designer provides a drag-and-drop workflow canvas where users connect data tools to build automated data pipelines. The workflow reads data from sources (databases, spreadsheets, cloud storage, APIs), transforms it through preparation tools (filter, sort, join, formula, cleanse, parse), and outputs results to destinations (databases, files, visualization tools, APIs). Over 300 pre-built tools cover data preparation, blending, spatial analytics, predictive analytics, and machine learning. Users build workflows visually without writing SQL, Python, or R, though code-based tools are available for advanced use cases.
Alteryx pricing is structured as annual subscription licenses. Alteryx Designer (desktop) is estimated at $4,950-$5,195/year per user license. Alteryx Server (scheduled execution and sharing) adds approximately $58,500/year for a base configuration. Alteryx Cloud provides a browser-based version with usage-based pricing. Alteryx Intelligence Suite (ML and NLP tools) is available as an add-on. Enterprise pricing with multiple licenses typically involves custom quotes.
Alteryx connects to 80+ data sources including Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift, SQL Server, Oracle, Salesforce, SAP, SharePoint, Google Analytics, and flat files (CSV, Excel, JSON). The platform integrates with Tableau and Power BI for visualization, Python and R for custom modeling, and provides a REST API for workflow management.
