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

"The solution has been stable."
"The drag and drop and layout is simple to understand, with intuitive names of features."
"I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use."
"The initial setup is easy, straightforward, and simple, and within hours I can have the designer up and running."
"The solution has a very strong community that is involved in the product. It helps make the usage easier and helps us find answers to our questions."
"The support is very good overall; we are satisfied with their level of service, and they are knowledgeable and responsive."
"Alteryx is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter."
"The solution does a good job with data transformation."
"I have found that the solution is very stable."
"We always purchase SAP support because it is very good."
"The most valuable features are the analytics and reporting."
"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."
 

Cons

"The only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"If there is any way to make the learning curve less steep, that would be ideal."
"In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI."
"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."
"The scalability worries me a lot at the moment because the cost of the solution is high and it is not growing considerably."
"I think sometimes the solution doesn't load properly or takes so much time for the workflows. Though the workflow runs and completes the file in Excel, if you use the same formula, it's a bit slow. Also, the image processing is not so good because I tried to do some image processing and they were like, sometimes they put two to eight. In the document, it was two, but the OCR predicted it as eight."
"Add inbuilt interactive visualization in Alteryx."
"Alteryx can improve the model management and deployment processing of large workloads."
"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."
"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 price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"While it offers extensive features, including predictive analytics, for those who mainly use it for data preparation and blending, the cost can be prohibitive."
"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"It's probably on the pricey side, but they provide some really useful ways to grow and test."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."
"The pricing is reasonable"
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
