Looking Ahead
Analytics Automation. That is the key focus for new Alteryx product offerings and roadmap.
“Our vision at Alteryx is to support you with one unified platform – unified for the cloud, unified for big and small data, unified insights, and unified for users all across the enterprise”
These 4 investment priorities guide Alteryx's product strategy and roadmap for analytics automation:
1. Democratizing Analytics
“Analytics has to be a team sport. You need a platform that can orchestrate workflows and allow you to share insights with any user. Our no-code and low-code friendly analytics platform will allow technical and non-technical people to share work and collaborate.”
2. Embedding AI Everywhere
“We’re democratizing AI by helping infuse AI into everyday tasks. Think about your colleagues in the business – they have tons of questions. You struggle to handle the volume, and, frankly, sometimes you struggle to understand exactly what they want. What if they could answer their own questions?”
3. Enabling the Cloud
“You love our on-premise solutions like Alteryx Designer, but you’re being pressed to go to the cloud. So we’re adding cloud capabilities into Designer and Server…
We’ve rolled out 3 cloud products this year: A) Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta for building cloud data pipelines, B) Alteryx Machine Learning that allows everyone in the organization to benefit from AI and ML, and C) Alteryx Auto Insights to reveal previously unseen insights. Together, these 3 products comprise the Alteryx analytics cloud – our unified platform for analytics automation. ”
4. Untangling Big Data
“As you move to the cloud, the variety and velocity of data that comes to you can be overwhelming…You live in a world of ubiquitous connectivity, and Alteryx makes it easy for you to work with this data – no matter how complex your data is, or how many pipelines you have to build, or how many gnarly transformations or algorithms you need to run to shape your data.”

Recent & Upcoming Updates to Designer
“We’re excited about all the cloud capabilities we’ll be bringing to you, but we also understand the importance of continuing to deliver innovation and improvements to the products you’re using everyday.” – Jay Henderson, SVP Product Management
