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

"Once we got it in-house, I knew its value."
"I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use."
"The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"Alteryx significantly reduces the time spent searching for specific information."
"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"Alteryx is a low-code platform, and that's the biggest reason why we chose it."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setting up visualizations."
"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."
 

Cons

"The GUI interface functions but it could stand to be updated to a more modern look and feel."
"It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."
"If there is any way to make the learning curve less steep, that would be ideal."
"The only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"More statistics tools: We can use to compare SPSS statistics with some automated advisory."
"The learning curve is long, and there is lack of e-learning; the tool is not user-friendly to a non-technical user."
"I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved."
"When a process completes there is a notification, but the notification does not include the process's name."
"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."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
"I would like the visualization for the map of countries to be more easily configurable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."
"In order to have designers, and, if you want to collaborate, you have to buy a server. If the designer is $5,000, and if you want a server, you have to pay $80,000."
"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"Its price should be lower. The key thing that we see is that talking about ROI is an important element at the time of purchase. Cost becomes a factor in every discussion. Justifying the ROI for these kinds of workflows is always a challenge, and the only way to counter the challenge is by addressing the pricing."
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"While it offers extensive features, including predictive analytics, for those who mainly use it for data preparation and blending, the cost can be prohibitive."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
