Alteryx Designer Valuable Features

Ajay Nayak - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Data Engineer at Baxter International Inc.

Alteryx is quite easy to use, learn, and understand as a product. Any user can understand what's going on by looking into the designer's workflow. But in Excel, there are so many formulas that are very difficult to understand. But in the case of Alteryx, it's quite easy to understand the transformations happening in a step-by-step manner.

I have been using Alteryx Designer only for data modeling and data structuring. I'm still not using the solution's advanced features like predictive analysis and machine learning. There is a lot of potential in the system. The solution's data structuring and predictive analysis are pretty good.

Workflow automation, in general, is valuable. Likewise, the solution is easy for someone familiar with Excel. Alteryx's user-friendly interface is its number one advantage. We trained over 150 business users, who were primarily salespeople and not necessarily data people, to use this tool for their workflow.

It provides flexibility and scalability in terms of deployment. Users can work individually on their desktops or choose to publish and manage their workflows on a centralized server for higher performance. It efficiently handles large volumes of data, providing reliable performance in both desktop and server environments. It provides numerous possibilities for data delivery and sharing, using it as a data source for other applications, generating Excel files, or storing files on SharePoint.

The features I found most valuable are the preparation features – the Join and the Transform. I haven't used Alteryx as a data science tool. I haven't used the predictive, and the prescriptive features of Crystal. All that I have used are documentation and transform features and I have used this mostly as an ETL tool, not as a data science tool.

Alteryx Designer's user interface is great, as it is very user-friendly. Alteryx Designer's drag-and-drop options are also one of its good features.

The solution is user-friendly. Even non-tech users familiar with tools like Excel can quickly get started. Compared to the more complex tools I've used, it's quite user-friendly. Setting up connections is straightforward, and you can create tables easily. So, I can assure you that it's more user-friendly, especially for power users or business professionals looking to perform analytics.

I find Alteryx Designer's versatility and variety of tools valuable for my use cases. Specifically, I have found the time series analysis tool and the formula tool quite useful because they are versatile and allow me to manipulate and analyze data effectively. For my daily analytics needs, the entire Alteryx Designer platform is beneficial.

Alteryx is a very powerful tool for cleansing, formatting, and transforming data – especially unstructured files. I'm happy with the features as they are.

It is easy to view data in Alteryx Designer. It's not overly complicated.

Alteryx Designer is easier to use for machine learning models. However, I am not very good at Python scripts which you will need to make the machine learning scripts.

There are many valuable features, such as machine learning, textual analytics

The most valuable feature of the solution is its drag-and-drop functionality, so it is a codeless process, which is something I love. I can create container flows, which are very easily maintained and updated when needed.

I like Alteryx's browser tool because you can view how your data is handled live. There are many other valuable tools like transpose and the crosstab. You can quickly pivot your data, and there are connections throughout the database. It's so easy to create a connection. If you connect to sign apps or a more complex database, the tool contains all the tools you need.

It's fairly easy to use and easy to implement and deploy, and also makes it very easy to fetch data.

The solution scales well.

The functionality of drag and drop is the most valuable. It is a very user-friendly tool that can be understood easily. My teams also work with other solutions, such as Integration Services, and these solutions are very difficult for people who don't have technical knowledge.

The features that are related to data preparation are quite useful to us. We automate analytics tasks saving thousand of ours from our clients. In general, we start with a scenario of a lot of manual work and we automate it.

The product offers very good analytics, not just automating what was done before in a very long process, but we also bring much more power with geospacial analytics and data science.
