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

"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"The data transformation feature is the most valuable. The ability to ingest data, visualize data, and transform that data is useful."
"The drag and drop and layout is simple to understand, with intuitive names of features."
"It is one of the most complete and great customer service that I experienced with a software company/ecosystem."
"Geo features have made spatial mapping large retail universes possible."
"Alteryx's connectivity is essential. We like the ability to connect the solution to multiple sources. It's easier than other data modeling and extraction solutions. It's built on a self-service concept, so it's easy for anyone to open the tool and directly import or export data from it."
"Alteryx is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter."
"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."
"I think the features of the actual ability to forecast and pull trends and correlations has been really good."
"The most valuable features are the analytics and reporting."
 

Cons

"There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients."
"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"When configuring target tables, it is difficult to see the full text when deciding on load operations."
"The principal problem is the pricing. They're expensive products."
"The GUI interface functions but it could stand to be updated to a more modern look and feel."
"There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason."
"A colleague of mind mentioned that the solution should have more options for the visualization of data."
"The solution is improving continuously. They have, for example, just added automatic insights. If they continue to improve on their overall service offering, that would be ideal."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​Very transparent.​"
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"It is $4,000 a year, so it is cheap versus other solutions. It also accomplishes three times the volume on the job in the same time (as the other solutions).​"
"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."
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."
"It's probably on the pricey side, but they provide some really useful ways to grow and test."
"The pricing is reasonable"
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
