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 management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments
In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many rouge devices broadcasting, and the devices is getting interference from another channel. The only to fix this is to reboot and we need something that reboots on the fly. We also need better security for VLANs and VPNs. There are issues with certain Apple devices. Technical support is not very helpful. The initial setup, which seemed straightforward at first, had to be redone. This may not have been the fault of the product. We're not sure what went wrong.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our analyst’s time was cut from two days to one hour of data blending and the output was amazing!"

"It is efficient in optimizing our ability to get information."
"Alteryx is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter."
"It allows for manipulation and automation, which has greatly reduced the amount of time required per project."
"Previously I have used consultants for the implementation but I can now do it myself."
"Alteryx has made us more agile and increased the speed and effectiveness of decision making."
"Any company considering a data processing platform which is light, offers good flexibility, and deals with moderate or low sized data, will find this is a really good spend."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
"It's easy to manage and supports the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve in the visualization."
"Although I use this product regularly, I used to code for many years and I am not a big fan of tools like Alteryx. I don't think that it's a good product, and the reason is that when the use cases get more complex, the models get exponentially larger and more complex to put together."
"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI."
"Alteryx is just as complicated as coding, in my opinion."
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three."
"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 stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is $4,000 a year, so it is cheap versus other solutions. It also accomplishes three times the volume on the job in the same time (as the other solutions).​"
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"It's very expensive. I'd rate it a four out of ten in terms of the price. It's great for big companies but not for small companies."
"ROI is huge. There are some secondary benefits, like analysts getting their post 5 PM time back or the ability to shorten all closing processes to a half or less."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"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 license price of the solution is expensive."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
