Alteryx named a Leader in the 2026 Dresner Data Engineering Market Study

Alteryx is named a Leader in the 2026 Dresner Data Engineering Market Study.

Why it matters: Data engineering has become foundational to BI success and AI strategy.

According to the report:

  • 48% of organizations rate data engineering as critical
  • 80% say it is critical or very important
  • 68% prefer best-of-breed vendors
  • Organizations with the highest BI ROI place the strongest priority on data engineering

This signals a shift that data engineering has evolved from an operational consideration to a strategic infrastructure.

Enterprises treating AI as a cornerstone strategy overwhelmingly rate data engineering as critical. Larger organizations that manage greater data complexity do the same.
