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

"Technical support is very helpful."
"The GUI is simple and it integrates with Python."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data preparation."
"The drag and drop and layout is simple to understand, with intuitive names of features."
"The Alteryx designer has been the most useful feature in the solution."
"The tools are built-in. You just plug and play, drag and drop, once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"It saves time on a lot projects. ​"
"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

"There's a big jump in terms of pricing between license tiers. I'm not sure I understand why the price jumps are so high."
"When configuring target tables, it is difficult to see the full text when deciding on load operations."
"There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search."
"There are no ready models to use in analytics."
"The scalability worries me a lot at the moment because the cost of the solution is high and it is not growing considerably. Unfortunately, we started during early COVID times and because of the economic downturn, all the cost cuttings, and everything, it is not growing as expected."
"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason."
"The tool could include more native connectors, such as for global ERPs, instead of requiring additional fees for these connections."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"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 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."
"While it offers extensive features, including predictive analytics, for those who mainly use it for data preparation and blending, the cost can be prohibitive."
"We use the free version of the solution. There are enterprise licenses available. It cost approximately $5,000 annually. It is an expensive solution and there are additional features that cost more money."
"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"
