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.

The solution allows us to create some reports that my organization uses, that my team uses. We also move some data from one particular legacy ERP into a shared SQL server to mix information from defense applications into one repository for analytic purposes.

The connection feature is quite useful to our organization. We connect with other databases. We connect with Microsoft SQL databases or with Oracle databases, and we connect with SharePoint lists, and we can connect with Outlook email servers as well.

The stability is very good. It hasn't given us any issues.

The scalability has been great.

Technical support is very helpful.

Our IT team has a lot of restrictions. Therefore, we cannot extend all the functions and all the features that Alteryx has, unfortunately. That's due to the fact that the internal restrictions we have are from a security standpoint.

The desktop license is expensive.

The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well. For example, the column size, and items like that should be adjustable.

I've been using the solution for a couple of years. It's been a while.

The solution has been stable so far. It doesn't crash and freeze. There are no bugs or glitches. It's good. The stability of the tool is perfect for us.

We've found the scalability to be quite good. We are connected to big databases, small databases, medium databases, any kind of database. For us, it's great. 

In Latin America, there are about 30 to 40 people on the solution. In North America, probably a couple of hundred people are on the solution, and in Europe probably over 100. In Asia, there are probably around 50 more, and the India teams probably have a little more.

I've not personally used technical support, however, we have a person on our team who is more of an expert on all of the features. Sometimes, if he has questions, he will contact them. We have a very quick response, from what I understand. So far, it's been a good experience and we are satisfied with their level of support.

We have a few hundred office licenses so far.

I haven't compared the solution to other licenses and therefore cannot really specify if it's the most expensive option or not, or if the current pricing is unreasonable. This is the tool our company's IT team selected for us and we can use it if we need it. It's not something I chose. It's something my company provides as a tool from an ETL standpoint.

We don't use all the functionalities due to the restrictions we have inside our network. So far, what we use is enough. We can't extend to use all the functions and all the capabilities the tools have. However, that is because of the unique internal restrictions we have.

We use the solution just as a reporting tool and consolidate information from different systems to create analytics, however, I know that Alteryx has far more extended capabilities than we have explored. We use it as a personal user tool. We don't use it as a company strategy to move databases from one side to another side and make consolidations. We use it on a very small scale.

I'd recommend the solution to others.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. We've been largely satisfied with the solution.

We primarily use the solution for basic data analysis and forecasting.

The giga size is very good. 

The solution offers excellent predicting power. The accuracy and confidence have been great.

You don't have to be tech-savvy or technical to use the solution. There's a lot of drag-and-drop functionality.

The visualization could be improved, as could the BID bots.

The solution could work on the BI side of the tool to make it a bit better.

I've been working with the solution for five or six months.

I've liked working with Alteryx so far.

The solution is totally scalable. Users can work with the data at all levels and determine if you want to scale it. You just have to choose the product model with the larger amount of data.

The technical support is very good.

I've worked with other solutions such as Knime, among others, however, in a corporate environment, I've only worked with Alteryx.

The initial setup is very straightforward. You just need to go through the manual. Reading it makes everything easy.

Each deployment is different. Some jobs seem easy, but then the back end is complex. Other times it can be deployed in practically one click. It all depends on the customer requirements.

We're Alteryx partners. We handle various deployment models, depending on the client's needs.

I've worked with other solutions such as Knime, among other tools for data science and data prep. It's great that this solution is just drag and drop and easy.

I'd recommend the solution. I'd rate it 9.5 out of ten.

I implemented Alteryx for a logistics company. 

It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis.

We create workflows to automate central reporting and visualize data directly in Tableau. 

We use Alteryx everyday. Using the product, we earn a lot of time, which is used to do other tasks.

Multicategories exist in Alteryx: These categories are flexible and answer a lot of controlling rules.

• Alteryx could be improved in the area of analytics and central governance. 
• The next feature release should include easier reporting. 
• Improvement in the coexistence of In-Database, Python and R tools.

We have multiple use cases, but the most typical use case is to clean the data and use it for reporting.

The data transformation feature is the most valuable. The ability to ingest data, visualize data, and transform that data is useful.

Sometimes, there are performance constraints. Especially when a large file has to be ingested, the system slows down a bit. Its performance is the only thing that can be improved.

I have been using this solution for just two years.

I would rate it an eight out of ten in terms of stability.

It's able to scale. We currently have a lot of users who use this solution.

We had a good experience with them. We are happy. I would rate them a four out of five.

Positive

It's simple.

We did it on our own.

It has a good price.

Overall, I would rate it a seven out of ten. 

We use this solution mostly for data integration.

The three data signs and data engineering are great features.

Configuration is very low and is not good for the customer end.

They should be focused more on regulation. They need to come onto the cloud as soon as possible. 

We have been using this solution for about a year, and have been supporting it both on cloud and on-premises.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution because it works on multiple platforms. The petabyte of solutions they have been considering can be handled. 

I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

The initial setup was straightforward because they had a suite. They have packages that need to be integrated and can be set up easily. They have different strategies for cloud and on-premises. For on-premises, they have a suite based on the license.

The deployment and maintenance require only about three technical staff. We have about three clients using this solution and plan to pitch more plans.

They have the complete licensing package. There are yearly licenses and other combinations. 

I rate this solution a seven out of ten. We target different domains because Alteryx is a product that can fit all kinds of domains.

For the next release, they should focus on the cloud. They should be platform agnostic so they can be easily integrated with multiple cloud systems. It should have the capability to work as a SaaS product.

We primarily use the solution for automation, data cleansing, QA, some data science and machine learning software for the company.

The product's Macros probably are one of the most useful aspects. It's obviously useful overall if you just combine all the tools, however, in terms of usability, the Macros really stand out. 

Using the Alteryx scheduler, and the use of Rtools for machine learning is very helpful.

These are all a bit more advanced, in terms of tools, however, they make for a very good user experience.

We've had a lot of issues within the Alteryx Server. It really could be improved.

There are memory management issues in terms of the Mongo database that they manage. There could be a better user interface for the gallery, which is where we automate the workflows. 

Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes. 

I've been using the solution for five years at this point.

The stability is okay. It's good on the designer, however, it could be better on the server.

In terms of scalability, the server is quite scalable, however, the designer is not.

The initial setup was easy, overall. It's easy to use and easy to learn and you don't have to be a data scientist or an engineer to use it. It makes the setup very straightforward, as the overall design is very approachable.

The deployment likely took us about two to three months to set up. It was five years ago now, and therefore it's difficult to recall.

We mostly handled the initial setup ourselves. We didn't hire consultants or integrators.

We're just a customer and end-user. We don't have a business relationship with the company.

We have an Alteryx server, and we also use the desktop version or the designer version on our workspaces, which are hosted on the cloud.

In general, I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been mostly happy with it, however, there are areas in which is could improve.

I am the head of investigation on-site, I use the solution every day for merging and other management of records. I also export data to individuals that need the information we store, such as facilitators.

The solution allows us to manage our databases data.

I think the most valuable feature for Alteryx in a health facility is that it permits cleaning, organizing, and merging of databases such as Excel and Access. This is very valuable for us since we have many databases.

The interface could be improved. Currently, when you are looking at the information on the screen it is broken down into three parts of the screen. For example, when doing algorithms and you want to see the results on the screen this is when it gets really difficult to view. However, this is fine visually to work with on a big screen but when you are working with a laptop screen it is not very comfortable. Everything is very small.

You have to know to use it. You have to have some training and it's hard. This could improve.

I have been using the solution for approximately 10 months.

I have not had any issue with the stability of the solution.

Since I only have one license to use the solution it is difficult to know about the potential scalability.

The setup is really easy.

The install took approximately 35 minutes.

The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area.

I would recommend the solution 100%. I really think it is a better platform than competitors.

I rate Alteryx a nine out of ten.
