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.

Executive at Empowered Analytics
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 GUI is simple and it integrates with Python."
"Alteryx has made us more agile and increased the speed and effectiveness of decision making."
"The most valuable feature is user-friendliness, as Alteryx can be used by those without any coding experience or experienced data scientists as it has the functionality to embed R and Python scripts."
"The amount of manual labor that we're saving by writing those workflows is huge."
"The basic package of manipulation tools are the tools that my team use the most."
"After the implementation of Alteryx, the turnaround time has been reduced to 10 minutes or maybe in some cases, a couple of minutes."
"Although Alteryx is a paid software, it is equally able to provide better performance without writing a single line of code."
"It is a very user-friendly product that doesn’t require a strong technical background; you can build something within an hour."
"The most valuable features are the analytics and reporting."
"SAP Predictive Analytics is better suited for business users because it hides the complexity of the model, whereas Microsoft Azure Machine Learning provides a lot more flexibility for technical professionals to tweak the model."
"I have found that the solution is very stable."
"I think the features of the actual ability to forecast and pull trends and correlations has been really good."
"We always purchase SAP support because it is very good."
 

Cons

"There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients."
"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."
"It would be nice if they can provide Alteryx with more options for In-DB connectivity."
"It should have Linux support. It currently supports only Windows. It does not support any other platform. Its price should also be lower. Their US partner management program is actually unresponsive. One of the reasons why we don't have a formalized partnership plan with them is because their partner management team is atrociously unresponsive. This is something that they need to change."
"Even when it already includes some AI models, this area could be improved."
"It would be beneficial if Alteryx could lower its price or introduce a loyalty program for individual consultants and freelancers like me."
"I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved."
"Alteryx can improve in data science. They have to have more features and components in the data science aspect because they claim to be a data science tool."
"The license fee appears to be prohibitively expensive and overly secretive, leading our clients to opt for cloud-based solutions that only charge for data storage and processing time."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for this solution."
"It's very expensive. I'd rate it a four out of ten in terms of the price. It's great for big companies but not for small companies."
"It is an expensive 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."
"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
"The pricing is reasonable"
