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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Alteryx has cut down on time spent cleaning and transforming the data, improved productivity, and transitioning from PoC to other users was seamless because the users upskilled quickly and could take ownership without a steep learning curve."
"Once we got it in-house, I knew its value."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily."
"The main benefits that Alteryx provides for me are that it is easier to use, I do not have to code anything, so it is a non-coding tool, and it saves my time in that aspect."
"Workflows and a large number of tools were a quick QA methodology and rapid prototype creation tool."
"Alteryx has made us more agile and increased the speed and effectiveness of decision making."
"The product's Macros probably are one of the most useful aspects."
"FICO OM is very flexible in terms of development, with rapid application development options."
 

Cons

"It's a technical product and those that don't have proper training will have to deal with a steep learning curve."
"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"The solution could improve in the visualization."
"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"Add inbuilt interactive visualization in Alteryx."
"In terms of data extraction, during the sequel queries of servers as an example, you can structure your sequel query and it's fine, very readable, but once you run it, it crashes into one complex single line, and makes it very difficult."
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"The only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"Customer service is below average."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The price could be better."
"If one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the tool's price as a one. The tool is expensive."
"We use the free version of the solution. There are enterprise licenses available. It cost approximately $5,000 annually. It is an expensive solution and there are additional features that cost more money."
