Enhancing survey analysis that provides valued insightfulness
I use it to analyze questionnaire surveys related to a product, solution, or application, such as open data services, which I provide to consumers and end-users. These surveys contain evaluation assessments, and I use SPSS to analyze the responses The most valuable feature is its robust…

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.

It is helpful, intuitive, and easy to use. The learning curve is not too steep.
One example, we are able to automate life insurance. We have to underwrite policies. When somebody applies for a policy, we take their blood, then assign them a risk: substandard, standard, preferred, etc. Depending on this, we price our products. Usually the process is that you take the blood, then it goes to a lab and we get the lab results back, then an underwriter takes a look at the lab results. This is usually done in a two week time frame to get a rating. We were able to build models to automate all of this, and now, it happens in real-time. Somebody can apply online and get issued a policy right away.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I've found the descriptive statistics and cross-tabs valuable. The very simple correlations and regressions are as well."
"The learning curve to using this product is not steep. The program is appropriate for those who do not have a lot of background in programming, yet have to perform basic statistical analysis."
"You can find a complete algorithm in the solution and use it. You don't need to write your own algorithms for predictive analytics. That's the most valuable feature and the main one we use."
"In terms of the features I've found most valuable, I'd say the duration, the correlation, and of course the nonparametric statistics. I use it for reliability and survival analysis, time series, regression models in different solutions, and different types of solutions."
"Since we are using the software as a statistical tool, I would say the best aspects of it are the regression and segmentation capabilities. That said, I've used it for all sorts of things."
"It has the ability to easily change any variable in our research."
"in terms of the simplicity, I think the SPSS basic can handle it."
"Most of the product features are good but I particularly like the linear regression analysis."
"Good data transformation."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its stand-alone version that we do not have to download dependencies for loads. Additionally, the scan is useful for beginners."
"Alteryx has made us more agile and increased the speed and effectiveness of decision making."
"The philosophy of the citizen data scientist is the key piece, which means the no-code analytics capability. This is the feature that attracted us the most."
"The scheduling feature for the automation is excellent."
"It's super easy to learn how to use it — the learning curve is very small."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"It has everything that one needs. Whatever you want to do with the data can be done with Alteryx."
"AutoML helps in hands-free initial evaluations of efficiency/accuracy of ML algorithms."
"It is helpful, intuitive, and easy to use. The learning curve is not too steep."
"One of the most interesting features of the product is their driverless component. The driverless component allows you to test several different algorithms along with navigating you through choosing the best algorithm."
"Fast training, memory-efficient DataFrame manipulation, well-documented, easy-to-use algorithms, ability to integrate with enterprise Java apps (through POJO/MOJO) are the main reasons why we switched from Spark to H2O."
"The ease of use in connecting to our cluster machines."
"The most valuable features are the machine learning tools, the support for Jupyter Notebooks, and the collaboration that allows you to share it across people."
 

Cons

"Needs more statistical modelling functions."
"It would be helpful if there was better documentation on how to properly use the solution. A beginner's guide on how to use the various programming functions within the product would be so useful to a lot of people. I found that everything was very confusing at first. Having clear documentation would help alleviate that."
"The solution needs to improve forecasting using time series analysis."
"The solution could improve by providing a visual network for predictions and a self-organizing map for clustering."
"The design of the experience can be improved."
"IBM SPSS Statistics could improve the visual outputs where you are producing, for example, a graph for a company board of directors, or an advert."
"SPSS is a tool that's been around since the late 60s, and it's the universal worldwide standard for quantitative social science data analysis. That said, it does seem a bit strange to me that the graphical output functions are so clunky after all these years. The output of charts and graphs that SPSS produces is hideous."
"IBM SPSS Statistics does not keep you close to your data like KNIME."
"More statistics tools: We can use to compare SPSS statistics with some automated advisory."
"The solution can be made more affordable."
"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 server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."
"It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx."
"The solution could improve in the visualization."
"The learning curve is long, and there is lack of e-learning; the tool is not user-friendly to a non-technical user."
"Even when it already includes some AI models, this area could be improved."
"It needs a drag and drop GUI like KNIME, for easy access to and visibility of workflows."
"It lacks the data manipulation capabilities of R and Pandas DataFrames. We would kill for dplyr offloading H2O."
"Referring to bullet-3 as well, H2O DataFrame manipulation capabilities are too primitive."
"I would like to see more features related to deployment."
"The model management features could be improved."
"On the topic of model training and model governance, this solution cannot handle ten or twelve models running at the same time."
"The interpretability module has room for improvement. Also, it needs to improve its ability to integrate with other systems, like SageMaker, and the overall integration capability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the modeler is high and can reduce the utility of the product for those who can not afford to adopt it."
"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
"Our licence is on a yearly renewal basis. While pricing is not the primary concern in our evaluation, as products are assessed by whether they can meet our user needs and expertise, the cost can be a limiting factor in the number of licences we procure."
"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."
"More affordable training for new staff members."
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a ten, as it is highly priced."
"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"If one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the tool's price as a one. The tool is expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"We have seen significant ROI where we were able to use the product in certain key projects and could automate a lot of processes. We were even able to reduce staff."
