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 has made us more agile and increased the speed and effectiveness of decision making."
"The three data signs and data engineering are great features."
"It allows for manipulation and automation, which has greatly reduced the amount of time required per project."
"This is a drag-and-drop tool which is easy-to-use and yet can be customized by creating your own components."
"It's super easy to learn how to use it — the learning curve is very small."
"It has everything that one needs. Whatever you want to do with the data can be done with Alteryx."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"I found Alteryx's ability to modify data on the fly, using in-memory processing, very useful."
"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. 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 most valuable feature is the ease of setting up visualizations."
 

Cons

"There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"The next feature release should include easier reporting."
"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"There have been some issues with licensing, particularly with the increased prices. This has led some companies, including ours, to consider reducing the number of licenses or potentially discontinuing their use of Alteryx."
"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."
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality."
"Alteryx can improve the model management and deployment processing of large workloads."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"It has a good price."
