Rajneesh Prajapati - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Rpa Consultant at Accely Consulting
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.

Enables us to forecast and pull trends and has an easy installation
My rating for SAP Predictive Analytics would be an eight out of ten. If I have to be bold, I'll probably say that we're building away hours, and we are actually putting a lot of the actual predicting stuff back into the warehouse. So running it very bi-directionally. So I'm not sure what its integration features are at the moment, but that's an area we're going to look into in the next month or so.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."
"It allows for manipulation and automation, which has greatly reduced the amount of time required per project."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"Alteryx has made us more agile and increased the speed and effectiveness of decision making."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"Alteryx is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the analytics and reporting."
"I think the features of the actual ability to forecast and pull trends and correlations has been really good."
 

Cons

"It would be great if Alteryx could take third party tools and incorporate them."
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality."
"The tool could include more native connectors, such as for global ERPs, instead of requiring additional fees for these connections."
"What they're struggling with is it's not as mature as Tableau in the user management area. It was tougher to manage the server part of it right away, especially since the user base has grown."
"When a process completes there is a notification, but the notification does not include the process's name."
"The server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."
"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."
"Configuration is very low."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"The seat is too expensive."
"​Very transparent.​"
"While it offers extensive features, including predictive analytics, for those who mainly use it for data preparation and blending, the cost can be prohibitive."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"ROI is huge. There are some secondary benefits, like analysts getting their post 5 PM time back or the ability to shorten all closing processes to a half or less."
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
"The pricing is reasonable"
