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

"It has everything that one needs. Whatever you want to do with the data can be done with Alteryx."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"Alteryx has a good UI. We use it frequently in our projects. The tool comes with drag-and-drop features and is easy to understand for business needs. One situation where Alteryx's advanced analytics capabilities were particularly beneficial for us was during a forecasting project. Unlike Python, which requires coding, Alteryx simplifies the process significantly. With Alteryx, users can adjust parameters within the user interface without writing any code."
"It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis."
"Once we got it in-house, I knew its value."
"Alteryx is so advanced. It's just drag and drop."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its stand-alone version that we do not have to download dependencies for loads. Additionally, the scan is useful for beginners."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"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."
"We are hoping that the NLP features will also support Chinese characters."
"The next feature release should include easier reporting."
"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. However, in order to be more competitive, they have to improve on their data science propositions. Thre are other solutions on the market, such as other players in the market, Data2Go or DataIQ, and Alteryx needs to catch up."
"In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI."
"The technical support could have a little bit of improvement."
"Even when it already includes some AI models, this area could be improved."
"The solution could improve in the visualization."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"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."
"​Very transparent.​"
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"It has a good price."
"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).​"
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"The price could be better."
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
"The pricing is reasonable"
