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.

Easy to implement, good data forecasting and reporting
This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data. If we connect it to a live backend system then we cannot perform predictive analytics on top of that. We have to first upload data to the cloud, manage the staging environment, and then perform the analysis. In the next release of this solution, I would like to see more automation in generating the models. The system can suggest the dimensions and measures that should be used, and pre-populate some of the information based on that. Power users would not have as much need for this, but this type of automation would be very helpful for business end-users.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The design portion of this tool is easy to use without code, which his something that something we can appreciate."
"The Alteryx designer has been the most useful feature in the solution."
"I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."
"The ease-of-use allows non-technical business users to directly create their own solutions without the use of additional development resources."
"I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use."
"The scheduling within the solution is excellent."
"The GUI is simple and it integrates with Python."
"The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily."
"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

"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability."
"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"All of the reports are migrated or exported in an Excel file, and most of the time, a business intelligence tool is required. They could have better reporting. The aesthetic could be improved."
"The pricing seems high for my current needs. However, considering the benefits, it is easier to justify to management for broader company usage."
"Mastering Alteryx, a comprehensive solution, takes time. However, once you have gained proficiency with its layout and how to drag, drop, and connect components, it becomes remarkably easy, yet still thorough."
"Even when it already includes some AI models, this area could be improved."
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"A feature which allows the user to be able to click on an output (in a file browser) and see the creation of the module would be fantastic."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"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 desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"The pricing is reasonable"
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
