Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This is a drag-and-drop tool which is easy-to-use and yet can be customized by creating your own components.""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.""The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment.""It's super easy to learn how to use it — the learning curve is very small.""The solution has been stable.""The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily.""The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its performance. It is a powerful solution.""It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis."

More Alteryx Pros →

"The solution can read and write 500 different types of outputs.""I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. It's highly scalable and can handle significant data volumes.""It stands out for its ability to work across different platforms, support mainframe data, offer cloud integration, automate report scheduling, and provide a robust scripting language.""The most valuable feature is building ad hoc reports."

Cons
"The scalability worries me a lot at the moment because the cost of the solution is high and it is not growing considerably. Unfortunately, we started during early COVID times and because of the economic downturn, all the cost cuttings, and everything, it is not growing as expected.""The gallery could improve in Alteryx. Additionally, if there was a Conditional Join feature it would be beneficial. Since I do not have this feature I have to use Python scripts.""A feature which allows the user to be able to click on an output (in a file browser) and see the creation of the module would be fantastic.""The solution can be made more affordable.""Deep learning models are not currently supported.""They should work on its pricing.""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.""It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx."

More Alteryx Cons →

"The solution can be improved by adding more automated options for reporting.""If there were to be any improvements right now, their documentation needs to get in sync with their product.""The challenge lies not in what the tool can do but in how you use it and understand the data.""When it comes to customer support, we don't always reach the right person. Sometimes, we get junior-level reps who aren't as knowledgeable as we are."
