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."
"Alteryx has made us more agile and increased the speed and effectiveness of decision making."
"I have been pretty satisfied with Alteryx's data blending feature as it is quite easy to use as a non-code platform."
"Alteryx is a simple and easy-to-use solution."
"The solution offers excellent predicting power. The accuracy and confidence have been great."
"It's super easy to learn how to use it — the learning curve is very small."
"The solution has been stable."
"The feature that I have found most valuable for Alteryx is its geo-referencing feature, it is very good. I use it a lot, especially for supply chain."
"SAP Predictive Analytics is better suited for business users because it hides the complexity of the model, whereas Microsoft Azure Machine Learning provides a lot more flexibility for technical professionals to tweak the model."
"I think the features of the actual ability to forecast and pull trends and correlations has been really good."
"I have found that the solution is very stable."
"The most valuable features are the analytics and reporting."
"We always purchase SAP support because it is very good."
 

Cons

"When the workflows are huge and complex, it may take some time to refresh it."
"I'd like to see more artificial intelligence business tools or features in Alteryx."
"The solution can be made more affordable."
"The tool could include more native connectors, such as for global ERPs, instead of requiring additional fees for these connections."
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality."
"More emphasis on extensible R and data augmentation interface design."
"More statistics tools: We can use to compare SPSS statistics with some automated advisory."
"It should have Linux support. It currently supports only Windows. It does not support any other platform. Its price should also be lower. Their US partner management program is actually unresponsive. One of the reasons why we don't have a formalized partnership plan with them is because their partner management team is atrociously unresponsive. This is something that they need to change."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
"The license fee appears to be prohibitively expensive and overly secretive, leading our clients to opt for cloud-based solutions that only charge for data storage and processing time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else."
"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a ten, as it is highly priced."
"While it offers extensive features, including predictive analytics, for those who mainly use it for data preparation and blending, the cost can be prohibitive."
"​Very transparent.​"
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
"The pricing is reasonable"
