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.

Provides great flexibility in terms of data transformation
I really like the flexibility the solution provides in terms of data transformation. Workday introduced Prism Analytics mainly because many clients wanted to merge data from different systems and then work with it to get some insights out of it. For that, they previously used tools like Power BI. Workday Prism Analytics gives you the power to do all the data transformations within Workday itself without taking out crucial data to a third system. I really like the way Workday has enabled Prism Analytics to be that one solution where you can bring everything. It also provides you the flexibility that things like the security model of Workday are still in place. You don't have to redo your security configuration if you do the data transformation outside Workday.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have been pretty satisfied with Alteryx's data blending feature as it is quite easy to use as a non-code platform."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"It allows for manipulation and automation, which has greatly reduced the amount of time required per project."
"Data processing is most valuable; it is one of the fastest data blockers out there in the market, which is a fascinating thing about Alteryx."
"The most valuable feature for me is integration."
"Although Alteryx is a paid software, it is equally able to provide better performance without writing a single line of code."
"The solution does a good job with data transformation."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The product is easier to use compared to other applications."
"Feature-wise, I feel that the solution's stability is good."
"I really like the flexibility the solution provides in terms of data transformation."
"The customer service and support are pretty good."
"The solution is stable and reliable, with minimal issues affecting its performance."
 

Cons

"From a commercial standpoint, more options should be available for pricing. The licensing model needs to be specific."
"It is a little bit pricey."
"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."
"Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."
"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"For me, it was a bit challenging to figure out how to work with Alteryx."
"Alteryx needs to focus on the supply chain aspect since detecting financial figures and data anomalies is currently insufficient."
"Alteryx can improve in data science. They have to have more features and components in the data science aspect because they claim to be a data science tool. However, in order to be more competitive, they have to improve on their data science propositions. Thre are other solutions on the market, such as other players in the market, Data2Go or DataIQ, and Alteryx needs to catch up."
"The visualization techniques must be upgraded."
"When you create certain objects, a lot of the time, the fields are text. They’re not numeric, date, or any other field type"
"There is not much flexibility in how we can add external data within Workday Prisma Analytics."
"One area for improvement in the solution is the ability to manually update individual rows or columns of data once it has been uploaded."
"It is not a very scalable product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"The price could be better."
"The solution is very expensive."
"Based on whatever I have heard, Workday Prism Analytics is considered an expensive tool."
"I do not know of the licensing cost, but there are additional costs like 5,00,000 for recruitment modules."
