Alteryx is a drag-and-drop workflow tool that allows users to build complex data analysis processes without coding. Workflows are made up of a series of steps performed by tools that link different data sources together. The workflows can then be reused on different datasets and shared with other Alteryx users. Alteryx workflows enable users to perform tasks like data preparation, analysis, reporting, and automation.
