Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It allows for manipulation and automation, which has greatly reduced the amount of time required per project.""The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor.""Predictive models, which are easy to use, and help a lot with fast design and deployment​.""Alteryx effectively visualizes the flow of data and what happens at each stage. I also like that it's a no-code solution. I also like that you can troubleshoot certain parts of the workflow by putting them in a sandbox.""The drag-and-drop functionality, the ready-to-use analytics module, and the ability to track my data pipelines visually are the solution's most valuable features.""The feature that I have found most valuable for Alteryx is its geo-referencing feature, it is very good. I use it a lot, especially for supply chain.""The three data signs and data engineering are great features.""The solution offers excellent predicting power. The accuracy and confidence have been great."

"The product's initial setup phase was simple.""R and automation services.""The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product.""We particularly like the data angling feature of this solution. This gives us the ability to work on data transformations, join files, and carry out other data preparation tasks all in a single tool.""The out-of-the-box features are simple and easy to use across the board.""TIBCO Spotfire is easy to use. We initiated Spotfire as POC, with support from a tech team based in South Africa. While they assisted with the setup, we conducted the POC ourselves.""Data discovery is very simple.""It allows users to quickly analyze data from a variety of sources and visualize it with powerful, interactive graphs, and charts."

Cons
"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include.""There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients.""We are hoping that the NLP features will also support Chinese characters.""The only weakness I would say is on the visualization side of having that dynamic incapability.""The learning curve is long, and there is lack of e-learning; the tool is not user-friendly to a non-technical user.""It's a technical product and those that don't have proper training will have to deal with a steep learning curve.""The solution just lacks in terms of data visualization. That is why we use Tableau and Qlik in our organization. They help to pick up the slack. If data visualization was added, Alteryx would be a very good tool, and much more complete.""Configuration is very low."

More Alteryx Cons →

"We would like to see some improvement in the default properties of the solution, so that there is less need for us to spend our time coding.""One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support.""The Text Area feature needs to be more user-friendly. It is a little clunky to use, and it is difficult to consistently format text.""The way TIBCO Spotfire is designed, in my opinion, is the reason why it lags a bit, especially compared to other BI tools like Qlik.""Print capability and trigger-based events.""We would like to see some development in the visualization aspect of this solution, as they can currently only be configured in the cloud, which limits us to one endpoint. It would be helpful if this could be integrated with other tools.""The initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier.""The data compression has room for improvement."
