Chose Tableau Prep
Tableau Prep is a good tool to use in tandem with Tableau. You can use Tableau by just plugging in an excel sheet or other form of dataset, but the tools that Tableau Prep has specifically makes the data set work better with Tableau. The extra time to optimize is worth it.

Tableau Prep is covered in our license whereas Alteryx required additional fees and a separate license. Tableau Prep is similar to Tableau Desktop which a lot of our team is comfortable with so it wasn't difficult to get a feel for Tableau Prep. However, Alteryx would have been …

Chose Tableau Prep
We use both Tableau Prep and Alteryx and, although Tableau Prep integrates better with Tableau desktop, I find that more often then not I open up Alteryx to do most of my data prep prior to bringing my data into analysis as it is just so much more robust. Not that this makes …

Chose Tableau Prep
Before Prep, we had to do all the data joining and connecting in a Tableau Workbook. Not only did this cause workbooks connected with live data to run frustratingly slowly, a new connection and set-up had to be established every time a new workbook as created, even if you were …

Likelihood to Recommend
Tableau Prep is a very powerful tool when it comes to creating workflows to monitor each stage for data analysis and quality issues. Also, it is convenient to explore the data with the wealth of operators and checking work at each stage of the process. Also, some areas that would help is if there are more types of automation provided.

Clarity is well suited to address issues with data integrity, where you want to maintain formatting for fields from various sources. While it can be used to address issues with data impacting departmental use (ex: a field must be set to a particular value based on other field values, and if this is not the case then a business unit may be impacted), the amount of time required to setup the logic is cumbersome. As such, we leveraged TIBCO Data Virtualization to deal with these scenarios.

It works well and is user friendly for the basics but needs more options for bring in data (using SQL queries for example) and export format options.

Support Rating
I have not really had to reach out for any kind of customer support for Tableau Prep, so I can't really say. However, the support that Tableau has given for their other products has been great, so I would assume it would be the same here. They are also constantly adding new features and providing software updates, and that is always a plus.

Tableau Prep is covered in our license whereas Alteryx required additional fees and a separate license. Tableau Prep is similar to Tableau Desktop which a lot of our team is comfortable with so it wasn't difficult to get a feel for Tableau Prep. However, Alteryx would have been a totally new platform.
