Alteryx Designer helps us scale simple projects effectively. The analyst can develop their own ETL processes without much technical skill, reducing the need for developer involvement. The user interface is intuitive and easy to follow, but it struggles with complex datasets and large data. Overall, I'd rate Alteryx Designer as six out of ten.

We utilize various features such as machine learning, connectors, predictive analytics, time series analysis, etc. For instance, I employ predictive analytics to forecast data by partitioning it into training and testing sets, fine-tuning hyperparameters, and refining the dataset. Subsequently, I generate predictions based on selected features and criteria. Following this process, we disseminate the results. Alteryx Designer offers a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface, eliminating the need for extensive coding. However, some aspects of its predictive analytics feature are less favored. Consequently, our organization is considering transitioning from Alteryx to DataIQ due to cost concerns, as Alteryx Designer is deemed expensive, especially given the number of users. Currently, we're evaluating DataIQ's predictive analytics and other data-related features to determine its suitability as an alternative to Alteryx. Regarding user experience, I stumbled upon DataIQ and explored its features. They pitched us DataIQ, and I saw the demo. It was very user-friendly. Compared to what I'm used to, the interface of Alteryx Designer feels outdated. There's work to be done on that front. Additionally, there's a significant delay in completing workflows, especially with large datasets. This delay is due to caching limitations and the application engine's capabilities. So, while price is a crucial factor, these performance issues and user-friendliness are also essential considerations. We have a dedicated team of administrators who maintain Alteryx Designer. Whenever we need to upgrade from one version to another, such as from version one to version eight, these administrators handle all the upgrades. Occasionally, some workflows may encounter issues during these upgrades, so the team ensures that the enhancements are managed over the weekends, allowing us to resume managing our workflows afterward. If the team primarily comprises analysts who prefer not to code and prefer a drag-and-drop interface, then Alteryx Designer would likely be suitable. However, integrating tools like Apache Airflow and Python might be more appropriate if the team is more inclined towards coding such as Python and seeks greater control over workflow management. So, the suitability of Alteryx Designer depends on the specific needs and preferences of the team. It might not be the best fit if the team is more focused on coding or prefers portability. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
Alteryx has built-in guidance within the tool. If you hover over any tool, it will explain how to use it. There's no need to consult someone else to get started. Also, there are helpful learning resources or documentation available. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.
The drag-and-drop interface in Alteryx Designer makes workflow creation quick and easy, boosting my productivity. The learning curve for new users of Alteryx Designer depends on their background knowledge. Since we haven't added many new users, there hasn't been a significant increase in usage or users. It mainly involves users with existing knowledge, but there is room for improvement in onboarding new users. My advice for new users would be to clearly define your use cases and requirements before implementing Alteryx Designer. Map out the features you need to solve those use cases and determine if the software aligns with your needs. Overall I would rate Alteryx Designer as a seven out of ten.
I take care of Alteryx Designer's maintenance part for my company's clients, along with four data engineers. I recommend Alteryx Designer to those who plan to use it. I rate the overall product a seven to eight out of ten.

There are about 30 to 35 users of this solution in our company and we are not planning on expanding because we are moving to a code-based solution and Alteryx is more for people who are not into coding. In general, I would rate Alteryx Designer solution an eight out of ten, with one being bad and 10 being excellent.
When considering bringing some pipelines, I would recommend that you always look at Alteryx Designer. If you just want to integrate some tools or solutions, Alteryx can help. I would rate Alteryx Designer an eight out of ten.
Alteryx Designer has so many functionalities packed into one package that you get a lot of things that you wouldn't have expected. For example, textual analytics. You can use it for self orchestrating workflows, it's wonderful. Additionally, you receive the educational license for three months whereby they can learn. Only the Alteryx Designer advance or Alteryx Designer expert level examination do you need to pay. You can receive certifications, which is great. I rate Alteryx Designer a nine out of ten.

I'm an Alteryx consultant. I use the solution myself often. We're an Alteryx partner. We're currently at the second tier, as a preferred partner. I'm using the latest version of the solution. If a company is considering a solution such as this, should think about the performance of their change, what they would do if they could be faster in the analysis that they do. That's a special point when using Alteryx. They need to think about what analysis they're not able to do today. When they think about it, they will understand the benefits of Alteryx. I would rate the solution nine out of ten.
It is a very nice solution. We love it. It is the best solution among similar kinds of solutions. It, however, is too expensive, and people can't buy it. It doesn't matter how good a solution is if people can't buy it. As an ex-reseller partner of Alteryx, we always talk about the good quality and functionalities that Alteryx has. You can make very good and efficient flows in this solution, but you have to do the research for this kind of product and follow the best practices. You need to clean and prepare the data. I would rate Alteryx Designer an eight out of ten.
