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 scheduling within the solution is excellent."
"The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily."
"After the implementation of Alteryx, the turnaround time has been reduced to 10 minutes or maybe in some cases, a couple of minutes."
"Overall, if you are looking for data management, if you need to improve your ability to blend data and to get insights out of data, Alteryx is the way to go."
"The product is very stable and super fast, also five-star."
"The scheduling feature for the automation is excellent."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"The solution does a good job with data transformation."
"I think the features of the actual ability to forecast and pull trends and correlations has been really good."
"We always purchase SAP support because it is very good."
"I have found that the solution is very stable."
"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."
 

Cons

"More emphasis on extensible R and data augmentation interface design."
"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."
"There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search."
"From a commercial standpoint, more options should be available for pricing. The licensing model needs to be specific."
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality."
"It is a little bit pricey."
"The gallery could improve in Alteryx. Additionally, if there was a Conditional Join feature it would be beneficial. Since I do not have this feature I have to use Python scripts."
"Mastering Alteryx, a comprehensive solution, takes time. However, once you have gained proficiency with its layout and how to drag, drop, and connect components, it becomes remarkably easy, yet still thorough."
"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."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"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).​"
"It has a good price."
"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable"
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
