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 consistent measurements, high availability, and scales well
As a sales representative, my primary tool for data analysis is Salesforce Einstein Analytics, which I predominantly utilize for sales-related activities near Rina. Additionally, I regularly review the tracked figures within the platform to ensure that I meet all the required performance metrics…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Alteryx effectively visualizes the flow of data and what happens at each stage. I also like that it's a no-code solution. I also like that you can troubleshoot certain parts of the workflow by putting them in a sandbox."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"The drag-and-drop functionality, the ready-to-use analytics module, and the ability to track my data pipelines visually are the solution's most valuable features."
"Alteryx is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter."
"The product's most valuable features include its ease of use for non-technical users and machine learning capabilities."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"The inbuilt features, like pictorial representation of the data and the ability to remap and realign the data, provide clarity in understanding sales perspectives."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Einstein Analytics are the flexibility around the deployment, overall capabilities, user-friendliness, and interactiveness with the tools that came built with it."
"It's scalable."
"Einstein Analytics provides insights into what we are doing and how we are doing it. It tells us what benchmarks we need to hit consistently to achieve our goals. In sales, there is sometimes a disconnect between actions and objectives. We aren't necessarily going to close a deal because we call X number of people. There are some underlying skills that add nuance to these metrics."
"It is a comprehensive solution. It has everything in it. I can easily find what I need."
"he most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use."
"The tool is a cloud-based solution capable of integrating any kind of data in the world."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is the reporting tools."
 

Cons

"The solution could work on the BI side of the tool to make it a bit better."
"The product could benefit from improved integration with visualization tools or even the inclusion of built-in visualization features."
"Even when it already includes some AI models, this area could be improved."
"It would be great if Alteryx could take third party tools and incorporate them."
"Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."
"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."
"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."
"The GUI interface functions but it could stand to be updated to a more modern look and feel."
"The product is expensive."
"Salesforce is working very rigorously on improvements with each release."
"They can provide more end-user customizations. There should be the possibility for the end-users to change some elements in the interface. I have a way of doing my job. My colleague may have his own way of doing his job. If I ask for a change, it'll change for everyone. It'll be good to have some end-user personalizations. I can't see many in Salesforce right now."
"The tool needs to simplify its features."
"If I could improve Tableau CRM I would make it as powerful as Tableau. Tableau CRM is more integrated and it's on the web, but it has less functionality. It is lacking functionality at this time."
"Improvement-wise, I feel the solution must be more robust since it is not exactly ready to handle large data."
"If a user leaves your organization, you shouldn't lose the visibility of all of the records."
"There are some offerings like Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud that have very useful online learning options. There need to be more avenues for self-learning with this particular solution. That would be useful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a ten, as it is highly priced."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"In order to have designers, and, if you want to collaborate, you have to buy a server. If the designer is $5,000, and if you want a server, you have to pay $80,000."
"The price could be better."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The solution is expensive."
"Salesforce has a subscription-based licensing structure, where it's between $20 to $75 per month, per user."
"I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Price-wise, Salesforce Einstein Analytics is an expensive tool."
"Although it was deemed slightly expensive and failed the cost analysis we conducted in our company, we proceeded with the purchase because we desired to have a leading CRM system in the industry."
"The biggest challenge we had was the cost and the licensing. We ended up getting an enterprise licensing agreement(ELA). That took a lot of negotiations and a lot of pressure. We were able to receive a good price for the community licensing they bundled Salesforce Einstein Analytics. They bundled a lot of capabilities with us with the ELA."
"Salesforce Einstein Analytics can be considered somewhat expensive, depending on the company's needs. If they want the complete package with all the features, it's pricier. It all comes down to what the company requires from the platform."
