I can combine python and excel all into one. It goes in as multiple data sources and comes out as a full report.
Career Transformational - Easy to Learn - Life Changing Software
What do you like best about the product?
Alteryx is the easiest to learn data and analytics software that I ever had to learn. The drag and drop interface is easier to understand and follow. It allows you to check your work one step at the time, unline something like SQL. The applicability of hte tool, not only to data processing but also ability to use the tool for varius uses is amazing. The ability to implement Gallery and share workflows is amazing because you can capture a wide audience without all of the users having to get designer license. The included version control and access management controls on the Gallery are integral parts in making the Gallery and workflows SOX compliant, which is significant for our Finance department. Alteryx provides amazing trainings and the community is a great support mearuse for those who are just learning to use the tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only complait is error message handling with workflows that have been published to the Gallery. The errors could be tricky to desipher.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alteryx is an integral part is sucessful and timely financial close.
the best platform for moving excel processes to
What do you like best about the product?
i managed to simplify alot of the manual sheets and processes, into repeatable workflows that allowed any user with not much knowledge to run the tool in no time at all.
What do you dislike about the product?
i find it difficult to keep this software up to date at work, and would like it if the software could update itself much like bloomberg does already.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
currently i am extracting data from a db, and then moving into another platform, which has some requirements and shaping to fit into the new style. This is done here quite well as a quick 1 button refresh will provide a brand new snapshot of data. This is then performed about 40 times, but with the tools we can make this alot simplier, and also highlighting where problems are.
Powerful analytic tool for data modelling and story telling
What do you like best about the product?
As a core member of R&D at medicaps, I heavily encountered data and so as data analytics platforms such as Anaconda, tableau, alteryx, etc. But alteryx has proven to be the best asset for me for the last few months in my research work. It has all kind of features that any machine learning engineer want, providing a robust and versatile platform for data modeling and feature engineering.
The best thing it saves my time by dragging and dropping features, and statistical and predictive modeling gets easy making it very popular for the beginner. Almost all the data types are supported and collaboration becomes easy with a peer group.
What do you dislike about the product?
Costs are relatively high except that this platform is best for beginners.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
for me time-saving is important so alteryx majorly saves my time by preventing me from writing unnecessary Python scripts for data modeling and analysis. Data analysis improves overall unlike writing a Python script. Overall efficiency increased workload becomes less, productivity increased in my research work.
A simple and user-friendly solution that is easy to set up
What is most valuable?
Alteryx is a simple and easy-to-use solution.
What needs improvement?
Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved. If I'm using it on a day-to-day basis, the predictive model should keep improving based on data gathering and data preparation.
How are customer service and support?
Alteryx is a user-friendly solution; its content is available everywhere to help users use its functions.
How was the initial setup?
The solution’s initial setup is super easy.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Alteryx is an expensive solution.
What other advice do I have?
Alteryx uses the UI interface wherein you can easily do a lot of things, and it doesn't have to code a lot.
My initial objective was to understand if a non-technical person with a small data science team could leverage a platform that can do a lot of things other than putting in a lot of resources. That's one of the reasons why our company chose Alteryx.
Alteryx is one of the few tools where user experience and customer feedback are up to the mark. I was from a non-technical background, and I wanted to create operators and do a lot of analysis and data cleaning on my own. With Alteryx, I didn't have to do anything except create the flow.
I would recommend Alteryx to other users.
Overall, I rate Alteryx ten out of ten.
Alteryx helps me do my life's best work.
What do you like best about the product?
Alteryx enables us to create a repeatable, scalable data and analytics recipe that we can share. We use Alteryx daily to combine disparate data from 3rd party APIs, in house databases (such as SQL Server, Teradata, Hive and Snowflake) and other files. Alteryx makes it easy to connect all the dots so we can build reliable data assets. Healthcare is a team sport and Alteryx also enables us to work together - no more digging through chapters of code trying to figure out what someone else did - the annotate ability for each tool makes documentation of complex business rules a breeze - so we can pick up quickly where someone else left off. Alteryx Gallery pulls it all together for us and enables us to schedule our workflows and "set and forget". The ability to configure built in error messages to alert us to when things go sideways means we can get ahead of issues before they flow downstream and cause production issues for our customers. Alteryx makes it easy for us to work with our business partners and rapidly explore data collaboratively and implement new solutions. In addition, Alteryx has an incredible supportive community - when we are stuck we can google, reach out to the Alteryx User Group, or contact our customer success manager.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not everyone has Alteryx Designer desktop due to the expense of the license. When you save a workflow back to the Gallery there is a specific sequence to follow or you could end up with versioning issues. There's so much to love and very little to dislike. I would not want to do my job without Alteryx for myself and my team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ingesting disparate data, cleansing & transforming data to prep for Tableau. Automating data workflows. Alteryx significantly reduces time needed for data wrangling and also increases quality due to data visibility throughout the transformation & creating a repeatable process.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Alteryx both as one-time analysis and for recurring operations tasks.
In both cases, we were able to manipulate large datasets and execute complex data manipulation very easily.
I used Alteryx to build an in-house production and inventory planning tool, that allowed us to scale the operations 1500% in 3 years.
