Alteryx Reviews

Data Blending and Predictive Analytics: Alteryx is very intuitive and you don’t need to know how to write code to use Alteryx.

It helped us reduce time blending data from multiple sources into one file. Our analyst’s time was cut from two days to one hour of data blending and the output was amazing! And we could map out file-run predictive analytics in the same tool.

Visualization: There is room to improve here.

I have used it for two years; this is our third year using Alteryx Designer.

I did not encounter any stability issues.

I did not encounter any scalability issues.

I haven’t had to call tech support.

I did not previously use a different solution. I used to copy and paste and convert data.

Initial setup was straightforward.

Buy a single desktop license, and if more is needed, you can expand. Initially I would advise clients to start with the 14-day trial license.

I did not evaluate other options.

Try the free trial.

As a multiple data source blending tool and predictive analytics tool, Alteryx stands out from an ease-of-use and flexibility perspective.

This is a data science solution, more like an ETL tool where you have data that you want to convert or transform. I'm a solutions architect and support the platform. The application is being maintained by a different team. We are customers of Alteryx. 

The solution does a good job with data transformation. We're using it for our business modeling.

This is a proprietary tool and maybe the open source part of it could be improved. If there was an open source edition it would be an advantage; at least the training part of it could be freely available and then people would be more likely to adopt it.

We've been using this solution for a couple of months. 

We haven't had any problems with stability. 

I haven't found any scalability limitations. 

The initial setup was straightforward. 

The choice of product really depends on your needs. I would prefer to use NinePlatform for open sources certainly, but if you're after a proprietary solution because you have different needs, then I think Alteryx is a really good solution if you are looking for a scale. It all differs from case to case depending on requirements.

It's about the feasibility of the product for your specific use case, so I rate this solution a six out of ten. 

My company uses Alteryx differently for each of our clients' individual cases.

It has helped across my organization.

Let's say we have a client that has been mostly using Excel for their data preparation, data casing, etc. By using Alteryx, they now spend most of their time in the data prep and then just go to reporting. It saves a lot of time.

I actually like all of their features. But the feature I have found most valuable is the data profiling. I can check the quality of my data and everything else. 

Alteryx is very good - I don't see any room for improvement. I can't think of any downside to Alteryx.

I use a lot of third-party tools with Alteryx. It would be great if Alteryx could take third party tools and incorporate them.

I have been working with Alteryx around two years.

In terms of stability, Alteryx is stable.

It is scalable. We currently have all of our almost 20 employees using Alteryx with plans to expand.

Their technical support is good.

The initial setup was straightforward. Depending on your machine it usually takes less than 20 minutes.

Alteryx is very good. You can do literately anything on Alteryx. Alteryx is so advanced. It's just drag and drop. You don't need to know any coding or other technical stuff to use Alteryx.

On a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is the worst and 10 is the best, I would rate Alteryx a 10. No doubt, a 10.

Most of my use cases have been around just helping customers out, specifically in the financial sector. Within our company, I've been automating the reports, project reports, and using it mostly for the automation of weekly reports in our company.

The scheduling feature for the automation is excellent. The machine learning suite has been pretty useful in terms of building models. I've been exploring it for a while. The in-database tools are extremely useful as well.

The interfaces are perfect.

The solution is easy to set up.

The stability is quite good. 

We have found that the scalability is good and very easy to handle.

I still haven't had any issues with the Alteryx designer. I don't have anything to speak negatively of now, however, I'm sure there are some features that need improvement.

The technical support could have a little bit of improvement.

They should work to make the solution less expensive. 

The product needs some more tools for the image processing part. That would be pretty good. There's an image processing suite, however, it could use a little bit of improvement as well as the visualization aspect. 

They should maybe add some capabilities for more interactive dashboarding. That would be great.

I've been using Alteryx for a while now. I'm still learning about it. I'm still exploring it, but I've been using it for a while.

I've been using it for a little bit over six months now.

The product has been pretty stable, however, we aren't heavily utilizing the solution. It's hard to pass a fair judgment on our part, as we don't have that many users and the utilization of the server and designer haven't been very heavy so far. That said, for us, it's been extremely stable.

The scalability is extremely easy and very straightforward on Alteryx, especially the server for the controllers. You can easily start adding nodes for workers as well. The scalability is one of the things that get our customers mostly excited about how easy it is to start scaling the server.

In our organization, we have four Alteryx designer users and eight or nine server users.

Technical support is okay and could be better. Sometimes, it takes about two to five days to hear an answer from the technical support team. That said, when they do reply, they're very helpful. The community is very helpful. However, due to the fact that there's such a wide range of issues that could be going on, you could get lost in trying to find a solution on the community.

I have not personally used any different solution. 

The initial setup is extremely straightforward.

It took about 30 minutes for the designer and the server overall to be deployed. It was easy and it's really fast. 

There isn't much maintenance needed. I handle all of the maintenance myself. 

Everything was handled by the company in-house. We didn't need any help from consultants or integrators. 

While we have personally seen ROI so far, I wouldn't be the one to make that judgment as to how much. That's mostly due to the fact that I'm the data engineer. I don't have a look at the numbers. I just automate processes and help customers out. That said, customers are happy with their investment in this product overall. 

Since we're partners, we get licenses. That said, from the feedback I hear, the price is a little bit more on the expensive side.

We do yearly subscriptions. There are machine learning suites that do come at an extra cost as well. 

We are partners with Alteryx.

I'm using version 21, the latest version, which may be either 21.1.4 or 0.3.2.

I would advise potential new users to go through the community to learn. They should go through the learning path for the Alteryx solution for both the designer and the server. It's good to take it slowly. New users should be able to do this within a month or two. The solution is pretty straightforward to learn.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

We are using this solution mostly for ETL purposes, and we have just started using advanced analytics, demand forecasting, and some supply chain optimization tasks.

The design portion of this tool is easy to use without code, which his something that something we can appreciate. We can say it's code-free usage.

There are no ready models to use in analytics. There is no content. You have the tools but you don't have the content.

In the next release, I would like to see Auto Machine Learning.

I have been using this solution for three years.

We have just upgraded to the latest version.

This is a stable solution.

This solution is scalable.

We have ten users in our company, who are engineers and business analysts.

Team members have contacted technical support for troubleshooting purposes. The technical support is sufficient.

Previously, we were using Microsoft System Servers. Alteryx has a more user-friendly interface allowing more non-users to use it.

The initial setup was simple. Just connect to a couple of data sources and transform the data. It took about three months to deploy.

We do the maintenance of what has already been developed. 

We did not use a vendor, we did the implementation on our own.

There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else.

This is a product that I recommend.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use Alteryx for aggregating different Excel data and doing general analytics.

Within our company, there are five employees using Alteryx.

It's super easy to learn how to use it — the learning curve is very small.

I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved.

I have been using Alteryx for five years.

Alteryx is both scalable and stable.

The technical support is very supportive.

The initial setup was very straightforward.

Our in-house team deployed this solution; it was a quick process.

I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features.

I would definitely recommend this solution to other interested companies. The real question is: do you really want people doing self-service analytics?

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Alteryx a rating of eight.

• Faster delivery of projects
• Quick preparation of data for analysis
• Direct output to Tableau extract for visualization
• Significant productivity improvement

• Data blending
• Calculations
• Predictive models, which are easy to use, and help a lot with fast design and deployment.

Visualization.

No issues.

Not really.

• There is a very good and supported community. 
• Reasonable reaction time for the support.

Different ETL tools (SSIS, Talend). We switched for ease of use and a wide range of features.

Easy to install and intuitive to use.

Very transparent.

We worked with other ETL tools for a long time, Alteryx was chosen based on ease of use and value add.

Start small and prove the value for specific use cases.
