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

"I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple and straightforward."
"Data processing is most valuable. It is one of the fastest data blockers out there in the market, which is a fascinating thing about Alteryx."
"Alteryx helps me do a lot of automation. The best thing about Alteryx is that you don't have to repeat the workflow over and over again. Unlike Excel, where you need to write formulas for each new file, Alteryx follows a consistent process. You can schedule and automate the workflow, even if the files change."
"Automation is the most valuable aspect for us. The ability to wrap business logic around the data is very helpful."
"The most valuable feature for me is integration."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"This is a drag-and-drop tool which is easy-to-use and yet can be customized by creating your own components."
"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

"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"Configuration is very low."
"Alteryx could be improved in the area of analytics and central governance."
"The workflow and pipeline need to improve."
"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."
"From a commercial standpoint, more options should be available for pricing. The licensing model needs to be specific."
"I'd like to see more artificial intelligence business tools or features in Alteryx."
"The product could benefit from improved integration with visualization tools or even the inclusion of built-in visualization features."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"It is an expensive solution."
"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).​"
"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."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
"The pricing is reasonable"
