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

"Alteryx has positively impacted my organization by saving time, improving accuracy, and enabling better decision-making."
"The GUI is simple and it integrates with Python."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"The tools are built-in. You just plug and play, drag and drop, once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"Shortens the time required to start analyzing data and looking for insights, minimizing the tasks that do not add value to the business and maximizing the analysis phase."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"The drag and drop and layout is simple to understand, with intuitive names of features."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its unlimited handling capabilities."
"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

"When a process completes there is a notification, but the notification does not include the process's name."
"The technical support could have a little bit of improvement."
"Based on my experience, I would not recommend Alteryx to others. I would encourage developing internal capabilities over using Alteryx as a solution."
"In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI."
"Pricing flexibility can be better, especially for small teams and organizations, as the current licensing cost can be a barrier for wider adoption."
"I think better visualization would be helpful to this solution."
"It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx."
"I'd like it to be easier to work with PDF."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price should be lower. The key thing that we see is that talking about ROI is an important element at the time of purchase. Cost becomes a factor in every discussion. Justifying the ROI for these kinds of workflows is always a challenge, and the only way to counter the challenge is by addressing the pricing."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."
"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 designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else."
"If one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the tool's price as a one. The tool is expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable"
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
