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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The GUI is simple and it integrates with Python."
"The analytics are easy​."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"The drag-and-drop features are useful for data scientists who do not like to code because it is already in the system."
"The design portion of this tool is easy to use without code, which his something that something we can appreciate."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its stand-alone version that we do not have to download dependencies for loads. Additionally, the scan is useful for beginners."
"The most valuable feature is user-friendliness, as Alteryx can be used by those without any coding experience or experienced data scientists as it has the functionality to embed R and Python scripts."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setting up visualizations."
 

Cons

"I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved."
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"When configuring target tables, it is difficult to see the full text when deciding on load operations."
"The GUI interface functions but it could stand to be updated to a more modern look and feel."
"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"The solution is improving continuously. They have, for example, just added automatic insights. If they continue to improve on their overall service offering, that would be ideal."
"The product could benefit from improved integration with visualization tools or even the inclusion of built-in visualization features."
"In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
"Additional templates would help to get things moving more quickly in terms of getting the reports out."
"I would like the visualization for the map of countries to be more easily configurable."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"The seat is too expensive."
"While it offers extensive features, including predictive analytics, for those who mainly use it for data preparation and blending, the cost can be prohibitive."
