Would you say that the main reason to use a software instead of code is to onboard non-coding business partners?

edit: After looking at the website, I can't help but feel that they are surfing on the Asteryx clothing brand to overprice their products...

That is usually a key selling point of GUI based ETL solutions. Relatively non-technical users, that know little of coding but do understand their data and what they want out of it, can put together basic (and sometimes not so basic) data flows and debug them.

I'm a user of Alteryx and had never heard of Asteryx. haha.

Alteryx is definitely high-priced. It's enterprise software and priced that way. Which sucks if you're on a budget.
