“We are seeing momentum continue to build around end user data preparation as a critical component to the success of companies’ business intelligence and analytics strategies. Across three years of data, the importance of end-user data preparation remains consistently high,” said Howard Dresner, founder and chief research officer at Dresner Advisory Services. “Congratulations to Trifacta for taking the #1 spot in our report for the third year in a row.”

The third edition study, part of the Wisdom of Crowds® research series, examines the nature of end-user data preparation, exploring user sentiment and perceptions, the nature of current implementations and future plans. The study addresses key end-user data preparation issues including: user perceptions and intentions around data preparation requirements, including usability, integration and manipulation features; industry support; user requirements; and vendor ratings.

The 2017 report illustrates data preparation as a critical component of organizations’ data strategy. The report also pinpoints the features most important to users of data preparation solutions:

Two thirds of respondents say end-user data prep is ‘critical’ or ‘very important’, and that sentiment over time has remained consistent
Two-thirds of respondents ‘constantly’ or ‘frequently’ make use of end-user data preparation and have increased use over time
Across three years of data collection, respondents report overall improvement to their data preparation approach, which indicates maturation of the market
The ability to have ‘immediate preview and feedback’, debuted as a top requirement in 2017 and is at least ‘very important’ to almost 80 percent of respondents
The two most popular features, ‘ability to schedule execution/replay of data transformation’ and ‘ability to iteratively sample data’ are either ‘critical’ or ‘very important’ to more than 60 percent of respondents

“Demand for self-service data preparation is greater than ever; in just the last year alone, we’ve more than tripled the number of enterprise customers,” said Adam Wilson, CEO of Trifacta. “Trifacta consistently being recognized as the top vendor in Dresner Advisory Services’ End User Data Preparation Market Study validates our commitment to provide the most intuitive, user-friendly data wrangling solution on the market.”
