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.

Good performance, reporting, and data visualization
The two similar solutions that I have used are MicroStrategy and Tableau. Tableau is pretty similar and it would be difficult for me to point out the differences. With MicroStrategy, it has a great feature where you build the representation in the database and it then the tool creates SQL queries by itself. There are more differences between these tools but this is the one essential difference.

"I think the most valuable feature is the ease of use for my business scientists."
"The solution has been stable."
"The main benefits that Alteryx provides for me are that it is easier to use, I do not have to code anything, so it is a non-coding tool, and it saves my time in that aspect."
"It is efficient in optimizing our ability to get information."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its performance. It is a powerful solution."
"The idea that you don't have to generate reports each day but they are sent automatically is great."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"We like the way we can drill down into each report to get back data on each project, and from the portfolio level I can see what is happening on it, including indirect costs hitting each CIO portfolio and actual resources in terms of time as well as cost."
"In general, I would say that this is a good tool and I recommend it."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setting up visualizations."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setting up visualizations."
"In this sector of the market, it is indeed a better tool than the other data analytics tool, such as QlikView, for example."
"We like the way we can drill down into each report to get back data on each project. From the portfolio level, I can see what is happening on it. That is a really important feature. I can look at indirect costs, for example, which are hitting each CIO portfolio. It's good to be able to see actual resources in terms of time as well as cost."
 

Cons

"All of the reports are migrated or exported in an Excel file, and most of the time, a business intelligence tool is required."
"It would be great if Alteryx could take third party tools and incorporate them."
"The next feature release should include easier reporting."
"I think better visualization would be helpful to this solution."
"The technical support could have a little bit of improvement."
"The only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"Although I use this product regularly, I used to code for many years and I am not a big fan of tools like Alteryx. I don't think that it's a good product, and the reason is that when the use cases get more complex, the models get exponentially larger and more complex to put together."
"The learning curve is long, and there is lack of e-learning; the tool is not user-friendly to a non-technical user."
"Additional templates would help to get things moving more quickly in terms of getting the reports out."
"At this point, there are other tools that I would recommend before using Spotfire."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
"I would like the visualization for the map of countries to be more easily configurable."
"Whenever the client or someone was opening the report it would take around 15 to 20 minutes to open the first time."
"In terms of performance, I can see there are some issues when you are working with big data. When we are taking it from the Data Lake, we have a lot of issues."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"It has a good price."
"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
