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

"Alteryx is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter."
"It offered quick development, with the ability to process large datasets."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"It is one of the most complete and great customer service that I experienced with a software company/ecosystem."
"It allows for manipulation and automation, which has greatly reduced the amount of time required per project."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setting up visualizations."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The idea that you don't have to generate reports each day but they are sent automatically is great."
"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

"The server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."
"If there is any way to make the learning curve less steep, that would be ideal."
"There are a few hiccups with specific data sets and languages or formats that the data comes in. That may be a minor problem, but we can work through it. We had some issues looking at XML format in added data, but it wasn't significant."
"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"Alteryx can improve the model management and deployment processing of large workloads."
"The scalability worries me a lot at the moment because the cost of the solution is high and it is not growing considerably. Unfortunately, we started during early COVID times and because of the economic downturn, all the cost cuttings, and everything, it is not growing as expected."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"The learning curve is long, and there is lack of e-learning; the tool is not user-friendly to a non-technical user."
"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."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
"Additional templates would help to get things moving more quickly in terms of getting the reports out."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for this solution."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"If one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the tool's price as a one. The tool is expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."
