Time-saving workflows have transformed data preparation and predictive analysis for my team
Some of the best features Alteryx offers are its no and low-code capabilities. It delivers massive time-saving and includes spatial and predictive analysis. Alteryx includes built-in tools such as drive time analysis and linear regression, which are much harder to achieve in standard BI tools such as Power BI or Tableau. In addition to these features, Alteryx provides built-in spatial tools that can calculate drive time and location-based insights with minimal effort through drag-and-drop spatial tools, low complex coding, faster, and more accurate results. Linear regression predicts sales based on marketing spend, estimates costs based on usage, and identifies trends in historical data. Alteryx has positively impacted my organization by saving time, improving accuracy, and enabling better decision-making. Using Alteryx, complex tasks such as data cleansing, joining datasets, drive time analysis, and linear regression can be done much faster compared to manual Excel or SQL work. This reduces dependency on manual effort and lowers the risk of human error. Drive time analysis helps my organization make better location-based decisions, such as identifying optimal service areas or improving customer reach.

Integration with automation tools enhances customer sentiment analysis
Comprehend is a useful service for sentiment analysis as it analyzes customer transcripts to evaluate interactions between customers and agents. It provides scores indicating whether sentiments are positive, negative, or neutral. The integration with AWS services like DynamoDB and Lambda facilitates automated analysis, contributing to more informed assessments of customer interactions.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution has been stable."
"The tools are built-in. You just plug and play, drag and drop, once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"You get more support with Alteryx, and it's good for non-sophisticated users who can benefit from the support included in the price."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is the intelligence suite."
"It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis."
"Alteryx offers a cognitive approach to better understand data and purposes."
"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"Alteryx is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter."
"I am totally happy with AWS support, as they provide excellent solutions."
"Amazon Comprehend works with a large pool of doctors. They're building the product based on working with domain experts."
 

Cons

"The GUI interface functions but it could stand to be updated to a more modern look and feel."
"The solution just lacks in terms of data visualization. That is why we use Tableau and Qlik in our organization. They help to pick up the slack. If data visualization was added, Alteryx would be a very good tool, and much more complete."
"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."
"There's a big jump in terms of pricing between license tiers. I'm not sure I understand why the price jumps are so high."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"Pricing flexibility can be better, especially for small teams and organizations, as the current licensing cost can be a barrier for wider adoption."
"The pricing seems high for my current needs. However, considering the benefits, it is easier to justify to management for broader company usage."
"The scalability worries me a lot at the moment because the cost of the solution is high and it is not growing considerably. Unfortunately, we started during early COVID times and because of the economic downturn, all the cost cuttings, and everything, it is not growing as expected."
"There is room for improvement in terms of accuracy. For example, when a sentence expresses a negative sentiment, such as 'I want to cancel my credit card,' it is crucial for the system to accurately identify it as negative."
"It is a bit complex to scale. It is still evolving as a product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
"The seat is too expensive."
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
