Great Option For Combining Large Datasets, UI Could Use Some Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Alteryx makes combining large sets of data a breeze and simplifies loading them into visualization tools like PowerBI and Tableau. The drag and drop features are nice and make creating workflows relatively quick and easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although the drag and drop design options are nice, the interface is slow and clunky and would be upgraded if the program had more automation options. The users in my organization are relatively data savy and Alteryx can be overwhelming for those who aren't.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work with huge sets of data from different backend tables and being able to combine them into one output file has saved a ton of time and headache for our teams.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great option for teams with numerous tech savy users. Would not recommend for small teams building out an analytics organization.
Could be useful and better than Excel if handling would be better
What do you like best about the product?
There are many opportunities to easily set up a smart model for calculations of probabilities. It's like drag and drop with changing some settings.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to handle, something confusing labeling and results can vary between the updates. No downgrading if you use some specific tools inside Alteryx.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alteryx has been used to calculate prices and do AB-tests for a new menu as well as the location of a new store.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be aware that your results may differ if you upgrade to a newer version. This can be very confusing and is a disadvantage.
Easy to use tool for all your data analysis needs
What do you like best about the product?
UI component is very well designed ensuring that the analysis is maintained as a flow chart. This makes it easy to understand and convenient to build/edit.
What do you dislike about the product?
Essentially every minor data wrangling step becomes a new icon on the flow, sometimes leading to overly complex flows. E.g. if you have multiple data columns that need format conversions, this cannot happen in one step and has to happen as different steps.
You also cannot selectively run parts of the flow and unless some step in the flow is cached, the whole flow runs from start every time- making it essential that the flow is designed on a sample of data and not the whole data to reduce development time.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data wrangling required to go from disparate and wildly formatted input datasets to datasets that can be used to derive insights and/or feed them into other data analytics flow or visualization tools.
alteryx - The Thrill of Solving - Powerful tool to use in Financial service
What do you like best about the product?
The speed of solving, the speed of connecting with various data files. We can simply connect a zip folder and then a excel within the file without unzipping the folder. It works so smooth and way faster then MS Excel.
What do you dislike about the product?
In earlier version, there was no option to connect with dbs file. But now this has been included in current version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting various files, maybe excel or different data type file. Creating a workflow and simply changing data source when needed. We don't need to do calculation everytime as we do in excel.
I use it at PwC for various audit work, with respect to matching and reconciling data.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Must try application if you work on big excel data file. Alteryx helps you connect with data quickly and analyze it much speedier than MS Excel. You can play around data and connect with various data sources with simple functions and tools available in Alteryx. I can say it's 100 steps above using EXCEL in terms of handling big data.

Powerful tool for data prep, blending, analytics, and modeling
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and the ability to bridge the gap between novice data users, coders, and data scientists. Efficiency and repeatability--fast processing and the ability for others (or yourself in the future) to track a workflow step-by-step for cohesive understanding and QA/QC. The Alteryx Community is extremely active and supportive--I've learned so much from other users as well as via the great training materials that Alteryx provides.
What do you dislike about the product?
Price--licenses are expensive compared to free coding languages & IDEs like R/RStudio.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using Alteryx to help public K-12 school district solve issues (e.g., proper facility utilization and staffing based on student enrollment, boundary scenario modeling, etc.) and improve students' educational experience. Data prep and blending can be completed much faster, allowing more time for better analysis and modeling.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get a trial license and access the training materials on the Alteryx Community to get familiar with Designer.
Data Democracy
What do you like best about the product?
Alteryx it's very user friendly and have an amazing performance processing data.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have nothing to complain about Alteryx. It's very simple to build workflows and learn about it. Alteryx helped me to develop a data literacy and daily supports my work dealing with data bases from multiple sources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Alteryx, I help my team improve their productivity by creating workflows to transform multiple files and databases. With that, we can focus more on data analysis than on data preparation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sign into Alteryx Community, there you can learn a lot with another users.
Data preparation made easy
What do you like best about the product?
user interface. Drag and drop tools. Tableau integration. Multiple data source connections.
What do you dislike about the product?
You need to execute the workflow every time to see the changes you made
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data cleaning, Data preparation, data modelling

A complete set of tools/platform for analysts
What do you like best about the product?
The code-free code-friendly concept and speed of processing are unique. Super intuitive to use and easy to master. No code needed, but if you are a coder, Alteryx offers R, Python & Spark coding tools.
I did not find a data source that I could not connect to yet (besides MDX ones).
In/out, preparation, blending, parsing, and transformation tools are the fundamental ones to start analysis.
Spatial operations and analytics are super powerful for analysis which requires these types of models/operations.

What do you dislike about the product?
Even when it already includes some AI/ML models, this area could be improved.
Other area which could be improved is the visualizations. It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx.
Finally, the UI does not reflect the great product Alteryx is.
