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

"Alteryx is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter."
"The solution offers excellent predicting power. The accuracy and confidence have been great."
"Once we got it in-house, I knew its value."
"The drag and drop and layout is simple to understand, with intuitive names of features."
"The drag-and-drop functionality, the ready-to-use analytics module, and the ability to track my data pipelines visually are the solution's most valuable features."

Cons

"It is a little bit pricey."
"There are no ready models to use in analytics."
"The formula we currently use in Alteryx can be automated."
"We are hoping that the NLP features will also support Chinese characters."
"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability."
"If there is any way to make the learning curve less steep, that would be ideal."
"They can provide some pre-built tools for predictive analytics instead of us having to build all the tools. It should also be improved from the visualization aspect. It should have better visualization capabilities. There are tools out there that have better visualization capabilities, which Alteryx is lacking currently."
"The pricing seems high for my current needs. However, considering the benefits, it is easier to justify to management for broader company usage."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"The price could be better."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"​Very transparent.​"
"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."
