Alteryx Primary Use Case
I primarily use Alteryx to build process prototypes, exploring potential business benefits before scaling up and automating. It helps me handle various data sources, apply transformations based on business rules, and push outputs to the cloud. In the past, relying solely on documentation didn't capture the essence, so I used the solution through various approaches. Now, I use it as a live provider and send it to the IT team.
We use the product for data transformation and analysis. We primarily use it for data preparation, analysis, and sometimes generation. So, it covers a wide range of tasks beyond just loading data.
View full review »We utilize Alteryx for the purpose of transforming data to generate a report for data analysis that predicts the number of customers who will upgrade or downgrade within a specified time frame. After creating the workflow and building a dashboard on it, we set it up on a client-server to run live. When new product data is introduced, we fetch it directly from the database. This process is based on Microsoft SharePoint, and we have specific nodes for this purpose. With the appropriate access, the node will extract the data from Microsoft SharePoint and transform it into the desired format, which we then use to build KPIs and dashboards.

Alteryx is the ultimate replacement for a data shop. I use Alteryx in place of a data center.
We using Alteryx on-premise using gaming systems for performance.
View full review »I am into tax automation. My clients have their data sets in different ERPs, such as Oracle and SAP. I design workflows in Alteryx to pull data from different sources, transform it into a nice layout, and perform data validations. We have 30+ tax registrations in other countries. This is important because tax data must comply with regulations in different countries.
I also develop pre-agreed adjustments to the client's data and push the data sets into another system through APIs and SAPPs. From there, I can produce the tax returns and valuation outputs, which I present to the clients in a dashboard.

Associate Managing Director at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
The biggest use case for the solution is that it allows you to it allows me to combine data from different sources and different formats to create a unified data set to answer business questions. I can take data from my general ledger and combine it with my expense report data or with external data or with different parties or different questions, and it could all be in a different format. For example, one source can be from a database, one can be an Excel file, one can be a PDF, or a CSV file. Alteryx lets me very easily put them all together and create one database.
We mainly use Alteryx for large files.

Theresa McLaughlin
Senior Capacity Planner at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
We were analyzing data trying to find anomalies with the servers and things that were going wrong. Normally in what we do, it can be a very manual process looking for that kind of stuff. Therefore, using this product, I created a workflow that went out and looked across all devices for problems that are happening, and managed to cut down the number of issues that were being created daily.

Analytics Insights - Manager at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
It is mostly used for data validation rules. For example, for many legacy systems files, we check whether the count in one file is matching the logic that we have in another file. If it doesn't, then we fill that particular data load. The ultimate destination for that is a database, but to avoid data mismatch or the garbaging of data because someone didn't put files in a proper format, we are doing the validation with Alteryx. So, it's basically for data cleaning and removing some line characters from the data in the files so that there are no data issues while using SQL Loader.

Director at a non-tech company with 11-50 employees
Our clients buy the product license and then ask us to configure and set it up for them. We also provide training on product use and act as troubleshooters if customers have problems. The company has a 15-member team that provides training and consulting on multiple technologies.
We have clients who are from tax, audit, and automation. They also use Automation Anywhere and Robotic Process Automation Application.
There are three primary use cases for this product.
Firstly, we have a case study that involved lot of buy and sell transactions in Dubai (real estate). We wanted to create a model that takes up all the data sets that are frequently upgraded, and then be able to extract a ballpark transaction value based on multiple parameters. A big task was to sanitize the data including how to handle incomplete data sets.
Secondly, it is used to automate reconciliation of tax related system entries. For example, or for tax reconciliation such as a client in India where there is something similar to VAT called GST, a requirement to reconcile different transactions and make sure both party's accounting books match.
Finally, there is a case where you have your own accounting software such as SAP and it has to talk to another software application, which is not SAP compatible so we use Alteryx.
