Has a good UI and drag-and-drop features which makes it easy to understand
What is our primary use case?
We use the product for data transformation and analysis. We primarily use it for data preparation, analysis, and sometimes generation. So, it covers a wide range of tasks beyond just loading data.
What is most valuable?
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.
Its user interface is one of the tool's best aspects. Once we became familiar with it, we found that tasks can be completed within seconds or minutes, especially for small data analyses. The tool's computation time is also commendable.
We have integrated the product with Tableau and Python.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for more than ten years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the solution's scalability four to five out of ten.
How was the initial setup?
The tool's deployment can be completed in a day or two. We have 24 engineers to handle it.
What about the implementation team?
The solution's deployment was done in-house.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would recommend Alteryx for complex data analysis needs. We are considering moving to Tableau Prep.
The solution is great as a standalone product. However, there are certain add-ons provided by Alteryx that are very useful but come with additional costs on top of the licensing fees. This aspect can be a bit of a downside. So, overall, considering this factor, I would rate Alteryx at around seven out of ten.
There are numerous benefits to using Alteryx. It's user-friendly and allows for data transformations, making tasks easy to understand.
Powerful mathematical modelling toolset for business analysis
What do you like best about the product?
It is fast and contains a wide variety of tools and features that extend from data wrangling to computation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI requires heavy guidance and/or training. The inuitive use is very limited. Gladly the community and support helps out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I completed a 6 months Business Analysis digital certification program sponsored by the company that I worked for (Turkcell) and provided via Udacity implemented. Some of the concepts I learned during the course were familiar to me (eg statistical regression) while some were newer like decision tree models. Using Alteryx and solving business problems such as pricing, resource availability etc was exciting and inspiring.
Excited to test it out more
What do you like best about the product?
I like how it can automate and run jobs in a gallery, and that it is very non-coder friendly. It also has good capacity when connecting to multiple input sources and can hold larger datasets
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes finding the icons and having to configure its properties on how to transform data takes longer than it may be when coding but that may be due to me having more familiarity with coding vs Alteryx
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation and drawing in multiple input sources with ease. We have not yet regained access to the tool/license due to company policies but we hope to gain access and begin exploring more of its capabilities
Has been great for automation
What do you like best about the product?
Has saved a ton of time eliminating manual work
What do you dislike about the product?
Wish the learning curve was not as steep
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Eliminating manual processes to free up time
Low code no code
What do you like best about the product?
The first I would like to mention is learning ALteryx is so easy and with knowledge of other software, you can easily learn it and use it. The second thing is if companies using different data sources, with alteryx we can use all
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like warnings would be more clear.
No notified email
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
connecting data from different sources and help me to create new table and publish it wherever I want
Great tool that has simplified data preparation
What do you like best about the product?
It makes easy things that are really painful to code in Python or use functions that other tools don't have, like Tableau Prep
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is steeper than I would have thought. I know 3-4 programming languages and certain concepts in Alteryx are quite difficult to grasp (like macros)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's allowing me to perform drive-time analytics that other tools don't offer. It also makes certain data prep processes faster than if I were to code in Python or SQL
Best software
What do you like best about the product?
Data visualization feature is amzing in Alteryx
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost is high. Hrs the biggest drawback. So it could be lowered
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pipeline creation
Alteryx is great for data management
What do you like best about the product?
Love to transform data into usuable and actionable data! Makes excel computations easy!
What do you dislike about the product?
Takes investment to get out time savings and sometimes time savings are just time reinvestment into a process
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Makes it easy to import lots of data from various templates
