Data Wrangling/ETL Tools Comparison : R, Pandas, Knime, Power Query, Tableau Prep, Alteryx

We struggled to find any benchmarks for a range of data wrangling/ETL[1] software, so we have done our own. We also make some comments on the following products, but their licenses don't allow for competitive benchmarking: Each run was done from scratch. The average time from 3 runs was taken (apart from Power Query, which we only did once because it was so sloooow). We used default settings for each product. It is a very simple benchmark, but we hope it gives an idea of the relative performance.
