Alteryx users like the idea of visual data preparation, but most of them find Alteryx extremely overpriced. EasyMorph is a tried-and-true data preparation application that offers great insight into data, a wide range of transformation tools, many integrations, and superior user experience.
- Tables transformed by actions (tools) step-by-step make a dense and structured workflow representation
- See the full result of any step instantly, without inserting a browser tool
- More than 350 capabilities to transform data and automate workflows
- Interactive drag-and-drop data visualizations help understand data at any step
What makes EasyMorph better than Alteryx
Ultimate data visibility
It's hard to transform data if you don't see it. Unfortunately, Alteryx tools don’t show you the full data, only a small sample of rows. Therefore, you must use the Browser tool and re-run your workflow from the beginning every time you need to see the full result of just one step. So inconvenient! How are you supposed to discover data quality problems and catch calculation errors if you don't even see all the data you transform? What if errors hide in the rows Alteryx doesn't show you?
Shows the full output of every transformation step
Instantly see all unique values in any column at any step
Instantly available tool results, just click and see, no need to recalculate from start
Full data profiling for all columns at any step: counts, nulls, histogram, etc.
Doesn't show the full result of a tool, only a few top rows
Doesn't show all the unique values in columns, no data profiling
To capture the full output of a step you need to re-run the whole workflow from the beginning every time!
Reactive recalculation
You are used to re-running the whole workflow in Alteryx from the beginning after any change but that wastes your time especially if you work with large datasets. In EasyMorph, you see the result of every change instantly, thanks to reactive workflow recalculation happening in the background after a change. Now you can work at the speed of thought.
Recalculates everything instantly
Recalculates only from the point of change - fast!
Workflow must be re-run from start after every change
Workflow always runs from the beginning
Built-in data analysis
Enjoy the luxury of seeing and analyzing full data at any step. Go beyond basic profiling, and switch in one click into the Analysis View at any tool (action). Filter rows using various facets. Build one-off charts to understand better your data. Verify relationships in data using relational filtering. Discover trends, patterns, and outliers in a snap.
Instant filtering at every step to explore relationships in data and investigate data problems
Build charts and pivot tables as if it was a BI tool
Create one-off sandboxes for ad hoc data exploration
Use the merge profiler to detect merge errors
Not possible to analyze data instantly because steps don't show all data
To collect the full output of just one step, the workflow must be re-calculated from the beginning - very inconvenient for data analysis
Modern data type system
Data preparation tools are frequently used to process semi-structured data typical for the internet such as JSON or CSV, and, of course, spreadsheets. However, traditional ETL apps like Alteryx don't work well with such data formats as their concept was invented before the internet. Besides that, traditional ETL tools are poorly suited for financial calculations as they introduce rounding errors caused by using floating-point numbers intended for scientific calculations, not for business calculations. EasyMorph uses double-precision (128-bit) fixed-point decimals to represent numbers and thus avoids rounding errors and hidden calculation errors that can silently happen in Alteryx.
One column can mix various data types
Preserves the original data type
No restriction on text length
Uses double-precision 128-bit fixed-point decimals, ideal for finance and business calculations
0.1+0.2=0.3 evaluates to TRUE, unsurprisingly
One column must be of one and only data type
Silently cuts text values if they don't fit
Forces data conversion, loses original data type
Uses 64-bit float-point numbers, introduces hard-to-catch rounding errors in financial calculations
0.1+0.2=0.3 evaluates to FALSE, a surprise for many
Features
A highly capable automation tool overall:
Task triggers
Trigger workflows on events such as file changed, or cloud webhook received.
Scheduler
Schedule workflows to run once, hourly, continuously, daily, weekly, or monthly. Desktop scheduler included at no cost.
File manager
Browse, upload, and download files from remote file services such as OneDrive, SharePoint, or SFTP right in EasyMorph.
API integration
Integrate via HTTP APIs with external applications without coding.
Issue tracker
Automatically create and assign tasks and delegate decion-making to humans using the built-in issue tracker.
Private, self-hosted
100% self-hosted. No data, metadata, or telemetry sent to the cloud.
Merge profiler
Visual merge profiler that helps detect merge errors such as duplicate rows or not matched keys.
Auto-documentation
Automatically generate a human-readable workflow description in plain English. No AI used.
Data virtualization
Build dynamic data views that retrieve, transform, and combine data from multiple systems on the fly.
Powerful automation
Good data preparation requires good data automation. In fact, EasyMorph doesn't distinguish between ETL and automation. It's a multi-purpose data automation tool that does more than ETL:
- Built-in tools to copy/rename/delete/zip/unzip files
- Massive file uploads and downloads
- Web (HTTP) requests and API automation
- Send/receive emails, mark them read, save attachments
- Send propmpts and files to AI models
- Send alerts and notifications to Teams, Slack or mobile devices
- Create tickets in JIRA or ZenDesk
- ... or create your own custom action (tool)
Advanced workflow constructs
EasyMorph allows designing complex calculations with:
- Loops
- Subroutines
- Conditional IF/THEN branching
- Exceptions
- Error handling
- Global key-value store (dictionary)
- Mutexes
Under the hood
Our secret: the in-memory engine
The excellent user experience offered by EasyMorph has become possible thanks to EasyMorph's state-of-the-art data transformation engine that processes all data entirely in memory.
- Aggressively compresses data on the fly so you can transform instantly millions of rows even on an average laptop
- Eliminates slow disk I/O operations (slow even for SSDs)
- Highly parallelized
- Fast algorithms transform data without decompression

Why EasyMorph is so less expensive than Alteryx
| Product | EasyMorph | Alteryx |
|---|---|---|
| Desktop | $900 | $4,950 |
| Desktop scheduling | Included | Discontinued |
| Server | $24,000 | $75,000+ |
Is EasyMorph less expensive because it’s a worse product? Don’t let the price difference to fool you. Alteryx used to be positioned as a high-end enterprise system that implies a sales model where sales are done by high-salaried enterprise salespeople and involve very expensive marketing. In order to compensate for the high cost of sales and marketing Alteryx has no choice but to keep prices high for their customers.
We at EasyMorph don't spend a lot on sales and marketing therefore they don't inflate our pricing. Instead, we let the product speak for itself and reinvest most of revenue in product development. As a result, we can offer an excellent product at a fair price.
Answers to some Frequently Asked Questions:
- Is there an equivalent of the now-discontinued Alteryx Scheduler?

- Will I be able to get help from other EasyMorph users?
- Yes. There is a thriving online user community at the Community forum. You are welcome to join it and post your questions there.
- Is it hard to switch to EasyMorph if I use Alteryx?
- Not really. It may take some time to adjust to a different workflow concept but then you will start seeing the benefits of EasyMorph not available in Alteryx.
- Will I have to sign a multi-year contract?
- No, you won't have to do it. Our billing is annual and it's always up to you to decide whether and when you would like to renew.
