Alteryx Review
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use and the clarity of tools is very nice. Even person with very less coding knowledge can clean and perform some data manupulation in alteryx. This is the best thing about this software.
What do you dislike about the product?
The macro part of alteryx is a bit complex. I think some more simpler tools can be made which can help in running in loops through different excel sheets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alteryx is helping in quick data preparation. The yxdb format of alteryx helps in storing very large amount of data in very less space and even working with this extension is very fast.
I use alteryx daily to help cleanse data and automate processes.
What do you like best about the product?
Alteryx is great for data cleansing. It is incredibly more simple and easy to hand over that structured programming languages and can be picked up a lot quicker.
What do you dislike about the product?
Very little. It has all the components required to be a great tool. The only downside would be the lack of visualisation tools within alteryx and for those currently available, the quality is not great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alteryx is helping me with solutions to manual tasks by automating processes. It also helps me cleanse large sets of data with it's easy to use functions.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ease to use data cleaning.
Low-code is best code
What do you like best about the product?
Alteryx is a data tool used for ETL work, analytics and automation. The ease of learning is quick due to its graphical user interface and ability to create workflow processes thru drag and drop tools. Our stakeholders love the Server/Gallery, allowing them to run these workflows as "apps" on-demand. We can easily implement a process faster than some of our tech partners. Support is friendly and quick. We use Alteryx as our daily data driver for ad-hoc and evergreen processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once you start using it, you are hooked!
Some of the newer Python-based tools require more rigorous testing on their end before releasing to the public. We have found bugs in them which should have been captured during QA testing.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed ways to automate data preparation for operational reporting without loading our tech partners with requests. Taking ownership of this allows us better flexibility and rapid development of automated ETL.
Retrieves data from the database and performs calculations
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Alteryx helps me do a lot of automation. The best thing about Alteryx is that you don't have to repeat the workflow over and over again. Unlike Excel, where you need to write formulas for each new file, Alteryx follows a consistent process. You can schedule and automate the workflow, even if the files change.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The tool is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
My company has more than 100 users.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't contacted the technical support.
How was the initial setup?
The tool's installation and setup are not difficult; you just need to install it.
What other advice do I have?
You can use this tool if you want to do a lot of automation. It is easy for users to learn and use it. The drag-and-drop interface works fine for us. I rate it a seven out of ten.
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.
Alteryx automates my thought process
What do you like best about the product?
Everything I would want to build out in excel and python I can create in Alteryx and see what my data is doing each step of the way. It lets me think through each step.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could use SQL and pull directly from my companies internal system... but thats more on our side.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can combine python and excel all into one. It goes in as multiple data sources and comes out as a full report.
