Pros
"Geo features have made spatial mapping large retail universes possible.""The three data signs and data engineering are great features.""It's super easy to learn how to use it — the learning curve is very small.""The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great.""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.""I like the fact that you can easily blend data from different platforms.""Alteryx has made us more agile and increased the speed and effectiveness of decision making.""One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."

"Compared to other reporting tools, it is very effective but does require an understanding of certain concepts in QuickSight. This understanding is crucial for creating dimensions, changing metrics, and visualizing reports.""The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there.""Amazon QuickSight can provide insights from the available data. It supports various rule types. We get the options of machine learning and insights, which are not available in other intelligence tools. It is easier to use, more stable, and cheaper than other solutions.""It helped the managers to visualize the data activities.""The solution is very quick to turn around and integrate.""The product is easy to learn.""The ease with which it integrates with different data sources is most valuable. Especially when everything is on AWS, it is easy to connect to the data source and organize different dashboards.""The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."

Cons
"The interface could be improved.""Alteryx can improve the model management and deployment processing of large workloads.""Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality.""Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud.""They can provide some pre-built tools for predictive analytics instead of us having to build all the tools. It should also be improved from the visualization aspect. It should have better visualization capabilities. There are tools out there that have better visualization capabilities, which Alteryx is lacking currently.""The solution is improving continuously. They have, for example, just added automatic insights. If they continue to improve on their overall service offering, that would be ideal.""I'd like it to be easier to work with PDF.""The price of the solution could improve by being lower."

More Alteryx Cons →

"I just want a few more features to be added.""The solution must be more user-friendly.""One area is that integrating data from different sources into QuickSight can be a bit tricky, especially with Amazon Connect. To get data flowing, you need to use two additional services and configure them correctly.""You can't tell a data story as well in QuickSight as you can on others, especially in TIBCO Spotfire.""It should support integration with Python or R.""I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it.""An area for improvement in Amazon QuickSight is storage. Data cleanup also needs improvement because I'm experiencing errors when cleaning the data. Amazon QuickSight needs video tutorials showing its different functions and purposes.""One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."
