Alteryx Reviews

I'm a reseller, so I have plenty of use cases. I don't have my own use cases. I actually solve problems for other customers. We have a few use cases with Alteryx - one for supply chain and one for finance as a whole. There is a very large amount of use cases for finance.

The feature that I have found most valuable for Alteryx is its geo-referencing feature, it is very good. I use it a lot, especially for supply chain. For finance, we have data landing which we look at a lot. There are models to help improve matching data and more realistic intuition on the data we have.

It is very easy. It is very straightforward. Sometimes you need a bit of help, but it's more like it fixes itself. So if you are used to handling data, it should be very, very easy.

There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search. One thing that I would like to see is the ability to get all the versions. Currently we have just the current version and the previous version. Sometimes they have no old workflows. They will run and they are in previous versions but we don't have access to it. It would be helpful to have an opportunity to download, maybe not the first one, but a couple past versions that have been useful.

I have been an Alteryx reseller for four years.

Alteryx is a stable solution.

Alteryx is a scalable solution.

Support is very good. They even go beyond what is expected of the basic support for the product itself. Often we see that they going beyond that and providing solutions for the issues that go beyond the product itself. They try to help customers with the data. So I think it's a really good support and I have had amazing experience with them.

The number of people involved in the initial setup depends on the size of the deployment. It is usually very few compared to other solutions. You don't even need special resources, so anyone can do. Even if it is on a server, anyone that knows it can repair the server, keep it running, and deploy any solutions. I think it's very straightforward, even to deploy larger solutions.

It takes between one and three people to deploy, but they don't need to be technicians,  that's the cool thing.

For anyone considering Alteryx, I would say go for it. Trust that there is a really good set of not just in-company support, but also a lot nice and very decent resellers and partners that can help you do anything you want. Overall, if you are looking for data management, if you need to improve your ability to blend data and to get insights out of data, Alteryx is the way to go.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Alteryx a nine.

We are mainly using Alteryx for data preparation and processing data. 

We are also monitoring for some of our customers, in product analysis, regressions or customer segmentations, and column correlations analysis.

The GUI is simple and it integrates with Python.

For the area in Alteryx, such as the server the prices are high and it would be better to reduce the fees.

Some of the new tools in the intelligence Suite are the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and the Natural Language Processing (NLP) language for English characters. We are hoping that the NLP features will also support Chinese characters.

We started carrying Alteryx in February of this year, 2020.

Alteryx is a stable product.

This is a very scalable solution. For every organization or company, there are a few data scientists working with Alteryx. For some of the enterprise, they have a team of five working with this solution, whereas others have two.

Community support is good, but I have not yet contacted technical support. I am not able to assess them.

As a Data Scientist Platform, Alteryx is the first platform that we have worked with.

I have worked with IBM and some other vendors from Hong Kong.

The initial setup is easy, straightforward, and simple.

Within hours, I can have the designer up and running.

The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price of the Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive.

I am currently doing a comparison between Data IQ and Alteryx.

Most of our clients in Hong Kong are on-premises because they don't want to share the data on the Cloud.

We use several other products because we want a unified platform for our customers.

If you have experience with Excel, macros, or VBA then you have a great foundation to use Alteryx.

I would rate Alteryx an eight out of ten.

We use this solution for self-service data preparation from data warehouses and data marts.

It gives the power back to the end-users. It brings flexibility and accuracy to our new analytics.

The most valuable feature of this solution is data preparation.

Alteryx Connect (data catalog) is also really important for us.

The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement.

I use Alteryx for integration, data integration, and advanced analytics with several companies.

Alteryx integrates well. The most valuable feature for me is integration.

I can read data from a database on the web and import it into my Alteryx database.

It is very easy to use. 

It's quite user-friendly, which I enjoy.

The workflow and pipeline need to improve. For example, if you have a job running, and you need to run another, the scheduling could be easier in Alteryx.

In the next release, I would like to see the completed pipeline, improved workflow with data, easier, and better scheduling to allow tasks to run one after the other.

I have been using Alteryx for one year.

We are using the latest version.

The Alteryx server is running on an EC2 AWS computer, and we have the desktop version installed on our notebooks.

Alteryx is a stable solution. We had no issues with bugs or glitches.

It is easy to scale.

Technical support is very good.

It took us two years to implement Alteryx in our organization.

I would recommend this solution. I like it.

I would rate Alteryx a nine 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.

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.

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.

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.
