Has a good UI and drag-and-drop features which makes it easy to understand
There have been some issues with licensing, particularly with the increased prices. This has led some companies, including ours, to consider reducing the number of licenses or potentially discontinuing their use of Alteryx. Since most of our team members work with Alteryx, deploying workflows to clients who may not have licenses became a hurdle. Every user needed a license to run the workflows, which could pose difficulties, especially for clients who only needed occasional access for small data analyses. Unlike other software like Microsoft Power BI, which offers free trials or user licenses for basic functionality, Alteryx doesn't provide such options, potentially limiting its accessibility for occasional users. It should improve scalability.

Helpful for visualization purposes but delayed drill-downs feature
We used it to analyze customer usage data within our application. We were consolidating data on user behavior and status, then presenting it to different audiences, such as executives and account managers. For building executive dashboards, especially when you don't require extensive drill-downs…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the fact that you can easily blend data from different platforms."
"The support is very good."
"It allows for manipulation and automation, which has greatly reduced the amount of time required per project."
"The modeling features are very good."
"The product's Macros probably are one of the most useful aspects."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form."
"Data processing is most valuable. It is one of the fastest data blockers out there in the market, which is a fascinating thing about Alteryx."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is its connectivity with other Amazon services."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the low-level securities are very easy to use."
"Compared to other reporting tools, it is very effective but does require an understanding of certain concepts in QuickSight. This understanding is crucial for creating dimensions, changing metrics, and visualizing reports."
"The product is easy to learn."
"It is notably fast in handling large data set refreshes, making it efficient for data analysis."
"The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate."
"A valuable feature of Amazon QuickSight is that it's a cloud-native service provided by AWS. As all platforms within my company run on AWS, that's the leverage of Amazon QuickSight. Amazon QuickSight is also easy to use, and I find the native connectors from AWS valuable as well."
"One of the most valuable features of Amazon QuickSight has been the speed at which visualizations can be created."
 

Cons

"Deep learning models are not currently supported."
"If there is any way to make the learning curve less steep, that would be ideal."
"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."
"When a process completes there is a notification, but the notification does not include the process's name."
"It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."
"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."
"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"Even when it already includes some AI models, this area could be improved."
"There should be better connectors for different data sets."
"Amazon QuickSight has minimal features. The feature set can be improved to allow you to create good production-ready dashboards. This does not happen with QuickSite, it needs to mature to be used in production."
"They could provide more options for graphics and other features."
"It can be made more user-friendly as some users might find this solution hard to implement. Qlik Sense, for example, is very user-friendly."
"It's not ideal for reports that are more complex."
"One area is that integrating data from different sources into QuickSight can be a bit tricky, especially with Amazon Connect. To get data flowing, you need to use two additional services and configure them correctly."
"An area for improvement in Amazon QuickSight is storage. Data cleanup also needs improvement because I'm experiencing errors when cleaning the data. Amazon QuickSight needs video tutorials showing its different functions and purposes."
"I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"It is $4,000 a year, so it is cheap versus other solutions. It also accomplishes three times the volume on the job in the same time (as the other solutions).​"
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"It has a good price."
"I rate the price of Amazon QuickSight a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"It's affordable compared to other long-term contractor business tools available in the market."
"The solution's pricing is cheaper than the other products in the market."
"The Amazon QuickSight licensing model my company's on is pay-as-you-go, but I wouldn't be able to give the figures because that's handled by the finance department."
"A highly affordable cost structure with fixed membership and timeframe basis options."
"It is simpler and cheaper than other solutions."
"The product pricing is better than other vendors."
"I'm using a paid version of Amazon QuickSight, paying about $22 monthly. As I have yet to learn about the pricing for other tools, such as Power BI, I won't be able to compare."
