Has a good UI and drag-and-drop features which makes it easy to understand
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. Since most of our team members work with Alteryx, deploying workflows to clients who may not have licenses became a hurdle. Every user needed a license to run the workflows, which could pose difficulties, especially for clients who only needed occasional access for small data analyses. Unlike other software like Microsoft Power BI, which offers free trials or user licenses for basic functionality, Alteryx doesn't provide such options, potentially limiting its accessibility for occasional users. It should improve scalability.

Good management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments
The solution punches above its weight for the price you pay. You can put it in a corporate and it will work well. The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy.  In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."
"The philosophy of the citizen data scientist is the key piece, which means the no-code analytics capability. This is the feature that attracted us the most."
"Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form."
"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"Good data transformation."
"The product's Macros probably are one of the most useful aspects."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is the intelligence suite."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
 

Cons

"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."
"It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."
"All of the reports are migrated or exported in an Excel file, and most of the time, a business intelligence tool is required. They could have better reporting. The aesthetic could be improved."
"I think they should really work on integrating or have a capacity to integrate some algorithmic code. I think that's one of the most important things they need to be doing."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality."
"More statistics tools: We can use to compare SPSS statistics with some automated advisory."
"Configuration is very low."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"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 cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
