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.

Provides great flexibility in terms of data transformation
I really like the flexibility the solution provides in terms of data transformation. Workday introduced Prism Analytics mainly because many clients wanted to merge data from different systems and then work with it to get some insights out of it. For that, they previously used tools like Power BI. Workday Prism Analytics gives you the power to do all the data transformations within Workday itself without taking out crucial data to a third system. I really like the way Workday has enabled Prism Analytics to be that one solution where you can bring everything. It also provides you the flexibility that things like the security model of Workday are still in place. You don't have to redo your security configuration if you do the data transformation outside Workday.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The support is very good."
"Alteryx has a good UI. We use it frequently in our projects. The tool comes with drag-and-drop features and is easy to understand for business needs. One situation where Alteryx's advanced analytics capabilities were particularly beneficial for us was during a forecasting project. Unlike Python, which requires coding, Alteryx simplifies the process significantly. With Alteryx, users can adjust parameters within the user interface without writing any code."
"The drag and drop and layout is simple to understand, with intuitive names of features."
"It saves time on a lot projects. ​"
"Geo features have made spatial mapping large retail universes possible."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis."
"This is a drag-and-drop tool which is easy-to-use and yet can be customized by creating your own components."
"The solution is stable and reliable, with minimal issues affecting its performance."
"I really like the flexibility the solution provides in terms of data transformation."
"Feature-wise, I feel that the solution's stability is good."
"The product is easier to use compared to other applications."
"The customer service and support are pretty good."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve in the visualization."
"Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."
"The interface could be improved."
"It's a technical product and those that don't have proper training will have to deal with a steep learning curve."
"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."
"I think better visualization would be helpful to this solution."
"When configuring target tables, it is difficult to see the full text when deciding on load operations."
"Alteryx can improve the model management and deployment processing of large workloads."
"When you create certain objects, a lot of the time, the fields are text. They’re not numeric, date, or any other field type"
"There is not much flexibility in how we can add external data within Workday Prisma Analytics."
"One area for improvement in the solution is the ability to manually update individual rows or columns of data once it has been uploaded."
"The visualization techniques must be upgraded."
"It is not a very scalable product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"Based on whatever I have heard, Workday Prism Analytics is considered an expensive tool."
"The solution is very expensive."
"I do not know of the licensing cost, but there are additional costs like 5,00,000 for recruitment modules."
