Rajneesh Prajapati - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Rpa Consultant at Accely Consulting
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.

Enables us to forecast and pull trends and has an easy installation
My rating for SAP Predictive Analytics would be an eight out of ten. If I have to be bold, I'll probably say that we're building away hours, and we are actually putting a lot of the actual predicting stuff back into the warehouse. So running it very bi-directionally. So I'm not sure what its integration features are at the moment, but that's an area we're going to look into in the next month or so.

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."
"The drag-and-drop functionality, the ready-to-use analytics module, and the ability to track my data pipelines visually are the solution's most valuable features."
"I like the fact that you can easily blend data from different platforms."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"The product's most valuable features include its ease of use for non-technical users and machine learning capabilities."
"The product's Macros probably are one of the most useful aspects."
"The most valuable feature is user-friendliness, as Alteryx can be used by those without any coding experience or experienced data scientists as it has the functionality to embed R and Python scripts."
"I have been pretty satisfied with Alteryx's data blending feature as it is quite easy to use as a non-code platform."
"The most valuable features are the analytics and reporting."
"I think the features of the actual ability to forecast and pull trends and correlations has been really good."
 

Cons

"Alteryx needs to focus on the supply chain aspect since detecting financial figures and data anomalies is currently insufficient."
"Mastering Alteryx, a comprehensive solution, takes time. However, once you have gained proficiency with its layout and how to drag, drop, and connect components, it becomes remarkably easy, yet still thorough."
"The software is not fully optimized."
"The solution is improving continuously. They have, for example, just added automatic insights. If they continue to improve on their overall service offering, that would be ideal."
"I think sometimes the solution doesn't load properly or takes so much time for the workflows. Though the workflow runs and completes the file in Excel, if you use the same formula, it's a bit slow. Also, the image processing is not so good because I tried to do some image processing and they were like, sometimes they put two to eight. In the document, it was two, but the OCR predicted it as eight."
"Sometimes, there are performance constraints. Especially when a large file has to be ingested, the system slows down a bit. Its performance is the only thing that can be improved."
"It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."
"Alteryx could be improved in the area of analytics and central governance."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"It's very expensive. I'd rate it a four out of ten in terms of the price. It's great for big companies but not for small companies."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"The price could be better."
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
"The pricing is reasonable"
