Alteryx Reviews

We primarily use the solution for automation, data cleansing, QA, some data science and machine learning software for the company.

The product's Macros probably are one of the most useful aspects. It's obviously useful overall if you just combine all the tools, however, in terms of usability, the Macros really stand out. 

Using the Alteryx scheduler, and the use of Rtools for machine learning is very helpful.

These are all a bit more advanced, in terms of tools, however, they make for a very good user experience.

We've had a lot of issues within the Alteryx Server. It really could be improved.

There are memory management issues in terms of the Mongo database that they manage. There could be a better user interface for the gallery, which is where we automate the workflows. 

Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes. 

I've been using the solution for five years at this point.

The stability is okay. It's good on the designer, however, it could be better on the server.

In terms of scalability, the server is quite scalable, however, the designer is not.

The initial setup was easy, overall. It's easy to use and easy to learn and you don't have to be a data scientist or an engineer to use it. It makes the setup very straightforward, as the overall design is very approachable.

The deployment likely took us about two to three months to set up. It was five years ago now, and therefore it's difficult to recall.

We mostly handled the initial setup ourselves. We didn't hire consultants or integrators.

We're just a customer and end-user. We don't have a business relationship with the company.

We have an Alteryx server, and we also use the desktop version or the designer version on our workspaces, which are hosted on the cloud.

In general, I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been mostly happy with it, however, there are areas in which is could improve.

I am the head of investigation on-site, I use the solution every day for merging and other management of records. I also export data to individuals that need the information we store, such as facilitators.

The solution allows us to manage our databases data.

I think the most valuable feature for Alteryx in a health facility is that it permits cleaning, organizing, and merging of databases such as Excel and Access. This is very valuable for us since we have many databases.

The interface could be improved. Currently, when you are looking at the information on the screen it is broken down into three parts of the screen. For example, when doing algorithms and you want to see the results on the screen this is when it gets really difficult to view. However, this is fine visually to work with on a big screen but when you are working with a laptop screen it is not very comfortable. Everything is very small.

You have to know to use it. You have to have some training and it's hard. This could improve.

I have been using the solution for approximately 10 months.

I have not had any issue with the stability of the solution.

Since I only have one license to use the solution it is difficult to know about the potential scalability.

The setup is really easy.

The install took approximately 35 minutes.

The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area.

I would recommend the solution 100%. I really think it is a better platform than competitors.

I rate Alteryx a nine out of ten.

We use Alteryx for aggregating different Excel data and doing general analytics.

Within our company, there are five employees using Alteryx.

It's super easy to learn how to use it — the learning curve is very small.

I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved.

I have been using Alteryx for five years.

Alteryx is both scalable and stable.

The technical support is very supportive.

The initial setup was very straightforward.

Our in-house team deployed this solution; it was a quick process.

I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features.

I would definitely recommend this solution to other interested companies. The real question is: do you really want people doing self-service analytics?

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Alteryx a rating of eight.

We are mainly using Alteryx for data preparation and processing data. 

We are also monitoring for some of our customers, in product analysis, regressions or customer segmentations, and column correlations analysis.

The GUI is simple and it integrates with Python.

For the area in Alteryx, such as the server the prices are high and it would be better to reduce the fees.

Some of the new tools in the intelligence Suite are the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and the Natural Language Processing (NLP) language for English characters. We are hoping that the NLP features will also support Chinese characters.

We started carrying Alteryx in February of this year, 2020.

Alteryx is a stable product.

This is a very scalable solution. For every organization or company, there are a few data scientists working with Alteryx. For some of the enterprise, they have a team of five working with this solution, whereas others have two.

Community support is good, but I have not yet contacted technical support. I am not able to assess them.

As a Data Scientist Platform, Alteryx is the first platform that we have worked with.

I have worked with IBM and some other vendors from Hong Kong.

The initial setup is easy, straightforward, and simple.

Within hours, I can have the designer up and running.

The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price of the Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive.

I am currently doing a comparison between Data IQ and Alteryx.

Most of our clients in Hong Kong are on-premises because they don't want to share the data on the Cloud.

We use several other products because we want a unified platform for our customers.

If you have experience with Excel, macros, or VBA then you have a great foundation to use Alteryx.

I would rate Alteryx an eight out of ten.

We're using the solution primarily to clean up some of our customer CRM data and to integrate it with some of our Salesforce requirements.

The UX (user experience) is quite good on this solution. The UI (user interface) is also excellent.

The solution has a very strong community that is involved in the product. It helps make the usage easier and helps us find answers to our questions.

For the most part, the solution is very complete, and there isn't much missing.

The designer license lacks a few features that the server has.

There's a big jump in terms of pricing between license tiers. I'm not sure I understand why the price jumps are so high.

I've been using the solution for just over a year at this point. It hasn't been too long.

The stability of the solution is very good. It's reliable. We have not experienced issues like bugs and glitches. It doesn't crash.

Only a small number of people use the solution in our organization. There are about four people on it. They are a mix of engineers, architects, and some data integration specialists.

There is a possibility to scale the solution. For the designer license, it's quite possible. Another server may be required, however.

The technical support has been very good. I'd rate it ten out of ten. We're quite satisfied with the level of service we've been provided. They are helpful.

We did previously use R and Python solutions before we switched to Alteryx. They were okay, but a bit difficult to work with.

Alteryx is easier to set up and implement. It allowed us to also focus on different aspects of the business.

The initial setup is simple. It's very straightforward. I wouldn't describe the implementation as complex.

Deployment takes about an hour if a user is installing the regular application.

The solution does not require maintenance.

In terms of the installation, I had to request the process from IT. However, it was fairly simple. I did the initial implementation of the platform. That said, I did require the help of some of our data scientists. It was all in-house. We didn't require the help of an integrator or consultant.

I don't have any idea how much the solution costs. I don't deal with that aspect of the solution. I do believe the pricing is publicly listed on their website.

We're simply users of the solution. We don't have a professional relationship with Alteryx.

We're currently using the designer license, however, I'm not sure of the exact version I'm currently on right now. I believe it is the latest version.

There's a 14-day free trial for those organizations that would like to try the solution before they commit to anything.

I would recommend the solution, 100%. It basically has everything we need. While we don't have all the features on offer in our particular license, it does have everything we need, and if our needs change, we can always move up to the next tier.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for ETL purposes and also for a lot of our modeling and scheduling.

The solution has excellent drag and drop functionality. There's no need for coding. There are nodes ready for us to use as well. It makes everything extremely easy. The user-friendliness is a big draw for us.

The solution just lacks in terms of data visualization. That is why we use Tableau and Qlik in our organization. They help to pick up the slack. If data visualization was added, Alteryx would be a very good tool, and much more complete.

The solution could maybe use a connector as a direct input for MySQL or something like that. Right now, we use ODBC connectors for MySQL. If a direct connector was available on this product that would be very helpful, especially for our organization.

I've been using the solution for five years.

The stability of the solution is good. We don't have issues with the product crashing and we don't find there are bugs and glitches that affect its quality. It's reliable.

The scalability is very smooth. If a company needs to expand the service, they should be able to do so easily.

The technical support is great.

There's a very good community that surrounds the solution. However, you can also reach out to Alteryx directly as well. They're just a call away if you need them. I would say our organization is satisfied with the level of service they provide. 

The pricing of the solution is a bit on the expensive side. We use an Alteryx Server and Designer as well. The server itself is a bit pricey.

We're just a customer. We don't have a business relationship with the company.

Our organization is dealing with large amounts of data, yet we do not have the money to buy a Microsoft product like SQL. Alteryx is a pretty good alternative to handle the ETL part of the workload.

We've been largely satisfied with the solution.

I would rate the solution eight out of ten overall. We've been happy with the results that have been provided to us so far. If the solution offered a connector as a direct input for MySQL, or better data visualization, I'd rate it higher.

We are using this solution mostly for ETL purposes, and we have just started using advanced analytics, demand forecasting, and some supply chain optimization tasks.

The design portion of this tool is easy to use without code, which his something that something we can appreciate. We can say it's code-free usage.

There are no ready models to use in analytics. There is no content. You have the tools but you don't have the content.

In the next release, I would like to see Auto Machine Learning.

I have been using this solution for three years.

We have just upgraded to the latest version.

This is a stable solution.

This solution is scalable.

We have ten users in our company, who are engineers and business analysts.

Team members have contacted technical support for troubleshooting purposes. The technical support is sufficient.

Previously, we were using Microsoft System Servers. Alteryx has a more user-friendly interface allowing more non-users to use it.

The initial setup was simple. Just connect to a couple of data sources and transform the data. It took about three months to deploy.

We do the maintenance of what has already been developed. 

We did not use a vendor, we did the implementation on our own.

There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else.

This is a product that I recommend.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Our clients buy the product license and then ask us to configure and set it up for them. We also provide training on product use and act as troubleshooters if customers have problems. The company has a 15-member team that provides training and consulting on multiple technologies.

We have clients who are from tax, audit, and automation. They also use Automation Anywhere and Robotic Process Automation Application.

There are three primary use cases for this product. 

Firstly, we have a case study that involved lot of buy and sell transactions in Dubai (real estate). We wanted to create a model that takes up all the data sets that are frequently upgraded, and then be able to extract a ballpark transaction value based on multiple parameters. A big task was to sanitize the data including how to handle incomplete data sets.

Secondly, it is used to automate reconciliation of tax related system entries. For example, or for tax reconciliation such as a client in India where there is something similar to VAT called GST, a requirement to reconcile different transactions and make sure both party's accounting books match.

Finally, there is a case where you have your own accounting software such as SAP and it has to talk to another software application, which is not SAP compatible so we use Alteryx.

There's no single feature I can think of that stands out as being the most valuable, but we've worked on multiple areas such as analytical apps, especially to connect with Facebook, LinkedIn, and multiple other online data APIs. We also use batch macros to automate and repeat steps many times over. These two features help us a lot. They are slightly more advanced, so it's not for a regular user, but these are the areas where people ask for assistance.

I think the only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro. We have learned the hard way, but I see people struggling there. Secondly, the tools for data science are not as user-friendly as KNIME.

Additional features that could be included would be improved documentation, more user-friendly data science, and the pricing should be more competitive. 

I've been working with the product for 1.5 years. My team has been working with it for 3+ years. 

The product is very stable and super fast, also five-star. In fact, the reason people use Alteryx is that it's fast. It's significantly more stable than the nearest competitor.

Scalability is excellent, five-star. 

Technical support is very forthcoming in helping people out.

We use several solutions for our clients. The two main ones are Alteryx and KNIME. Probably 90% use Alteryx and 10% KNIME. 

The initial setup is straightforward. 

I would suggest that the decision to purchase the product should be based on a company's level of deployment. If it's for a process for a pharma company, which is a smaller enterprise. then I recommend starting with KNIME. As the data gets bigger, switch to Alteryx. 

I think they should have a student version just like Tableau does. Not all the tools, but the basic top 10 or 15 tools. The reason I suggest this is because there's a huge need for Alteryx users, but because of its 14-day trial period, a lot of students cannot get a handle on it so a scaled-down light version would be good.

I would rate this product an 9 out of 10.
