Alteryx Reviews

Alteryx is mainly used for data workflows and data preparation.

The Alteryx designer has been the most useful feature in the solution.

Alteryx can improve in data science. They have to have more features and components in the data science aspect because they claim to be a data science tool. However, in order to be more competitive, they have to improve on their data science propositions. Thre are other solutions on the market, such as other players in the market, Data2Go or DataIQ, and Alteryx needs to catch up.

I have used Alteryx for approximately three years.

Alteryx is a stable solution.

The scalability of Alteryx is good.

The technical support from Alteryx is good.

I rate the support from Alteryx a four out of five.

The initial setup of Alteryx was straightforward.

The amount of people needed for the implementation depends on the use case. It can vary from one to five data engineers and data scientists, but if it is a very large project, you might need 10 people involved. It all varies on the size of the project and the use cases.

There have been cases where people were building some data pipeline manually or building some reports manually, and they used to take one month. After the implementation of Alteryx, the turnaround time has been reduced to 10 minutes or maybe in some cases, a couple of minutes. If the timeframe or effort is coming down from one month and with multiple persons working to a couple of minutes automated, there is a huge volume of ROI.

My advice to others is before implementing the Alteryx, they need to be very sure about their use case. Based on the use case, they should plan the implementation.

I rate Alteryx seven out of ten.

I'm a reseller, so I have plenty of use cases. I don't have my own use cases. I actually solve problems for other customers. We have a few use cases with Alteryx - one for supply chain and one for finance as a whole. There is a very large amount of use cases for finance.

The feature that I have found most valuable for Alteryx is its geo-referencing feature, it is very good. I use it a lot, especially for supply chain. For finance, we have data landing which we look at a lot. There are models to help improve matching data and more realistic intuition on the data we have.

It is very easy. It is very straightforward. Sometimes you need a bit of help, but it's more like it fixes itself. So if you are used to handling data, it should be very, very easy.

There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search. One thing that I would like to see is the ability to get all the versions. Currently we have just the current version and the previous version. Sometimes they have no old workflows. They will run and they are in previous versions but we don't have access to it. It would be helpful to have an opportunity to download, maybe not the first one, but a couple past versions that have been useful.

I have been an Alteryx reseller for four years.

Alteryx is a stable solution.

Alteryx is a scalable solution.

Support is very good. They even go beyond what is expected of the basic support for the product itself. Often we see that they going beyond that and providing solutions for the issues that go beyond the product itself. They try to help customers with the data. So I think it's a really good support and I have had amazing experience with them.

The number of people involved in the initial setup depends on the size of the deployment. It is usually very few compared to other solutions. You don't even need special resources, so anyone can do. Even if it is on a server, anyone that knows it can repair the server, keep it running, and deploy any solutions. I think it's very straightforward, even to deploy larger solutions.

It takes between one and three people to deploy, but they don't need to be technicians,  that's the cool thing.

For anyone considering Alteryx, I would say go for it. Trust that there is a really good set of not just in-company support, but also a lot nice and very decent resellers and partners that can help you do anything you want. Overall, if you are looking for data management, if you need to improve your ability to blend data and to get insights out of data, Alteryx is the way to go.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Alteryx a nine.

I have multiple clients that are using this solution and the use cases can be very specific to the domain they are coming from. 

I am an Alteryx designer and I have been trying to fine-tune the operations. Most recently I have been getting more involved with predictive analytics. I am transitioning from the ETL to an advanced analytics platform and then doing the seamless integration with the BI tools. These are the areas I have been exploring and currently, I am only working on use cases that are very specific to this area.

The solution could improve in the visualization. There is a reporting palette available, but I do not think organizations would rely just on that one pallet. We need a BI tool for larger implementation reporting. The visualization cannot just be the basic visualization but immediate reporting.

When comparing this solutions' BI tool to major competitors, such as Tableau and Power BI, the competitors both massively use visualization and dashboarding whereas this solution does not. However, this solution is much further ahead in other areas, for example, deployment. When it comes to just the visualization it not fair to compare these solutions.

I have been using the solution within the last 12 months.

The solution has been stable.

What I know of the solution it can scale very well.

I have not used support very much in the past. However, during the one or two cases when we had to use the support, we received a solution from them promptly.

The installation is fairly simple and straightforward. We had no issues with the implementation.

Previously I have used consultants for the implementation but I can now do it myself.

There is a license required for this solution.

I have previously evaluated Tableau and Power BI.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Alteryx an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for basic data analysis and forecasting.

The giga size is very good. 

The solution offers excellent predicting power. The accuracy and confidence have been great.

You don't have to be tech-savvy or technical to use the solution. There's a lot of drag-and-drop functionality.

The visualization could be improved, as could the BID bots.

The solution could work on the BI side of the tool to make it a bit better.

I've been working with the solution for five or six months.

I've liked working with Alteryx so far.

The solution is totally scalable. Users can work with the data at all levels and determine if you want to scale it. You just have to choose the product model with the larger amount of data.

The technical support is very good.

I've worked with other solutions such as Knime, among others, however, in a corporate environment, I've only worked with Alteryx.

The initial setup is very straightforward. You just need to go through the manual. Reading it makes everything easy.

Each deployment is different. Some jobs seem easy, but then the back end is complex. Other times it can be deployed in practically one click. It all depends on the customer requirements.

We're Alteryx partners. We handle various deployment models, depending on the client's needs.

I've worked with other solutions such as Knime, among other tools for data science and data prep. It's great that this solution is just drag and drop and easy.

I'd recommend the solution. I'd rate it 9.5 out of ten.

I implemented Alteryx for a logistics company. 

It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis.

We create workflows to automate central reporting and visualize data directly in Tableau. 

We use Alteryx everyday. Using the product, we earn a lot of time, which is used to do other tasks.

Multicategories exist in Alteryx: These categories are flexible and answer a lot of controlling rules.

• Alteryx could be improved in the area of analytics and central governance. 
• The next feature release should include easier reporting. 
• Improvement in the coexistence of In-Database, Python and R tools.

• Data integration
• Automation
• Data analytics

It saves time on a lot projects.

The analytics are easy.

In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI.

We primarily use the solution for automation, data cleansing, QA, some data science and machine learning software for the company.

The product's Macros probably are one of the most useful aspects. It's obviously useful overall if you just combine all the tools, however, in terms of usability, the Macros really stand out. 

Using the Alteryx scheduler, and the use of Rtools for machine learning is very helpful.

These are all a bit more advanced, in terms of tools, however, they make for a very good user experience.

We've had a lot of issues within the Alteryx Server. It really could be improved.

There are memory management issues in terms of the Mongo database that they manage. There could be a better user interface for the gallery, which is where we automate the workflows. 

Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes. 

I've been using the solution for five years at this point.

The stability is okay. It's good on the designer, however, it could be better on the server.

In terms of scalability, the server is quite scalable, however, the designer is not.

The initial setup was easy, overall. It's easy to use and easy to learn and you don't have to be a data scientist or an engineer to use it. It makes the setup very straightforward, as the overall design is very approachable.

The deployment likely took us about two to three months to set up. It was five years ago now, and therefore it's difficult to recall.

We mostly handled the initial setup ourselves. We didn't hire consultants or integrators.

We're just a customer and end-user. We don't have a business relationship with the company.

We have an Alteryx server, and we also use the desktop version or the designer version on our workspaces, which are hosted on the cloud.

In general, I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been mostly happy with it, however, there are areas in which is could improve.

I am the head of investigation on-site, I use the solution every day for merging and other management of records. I also export data to individuals that need the information we store, such as facilitators.

The solution allows us to manage our databases data.

I think the most valuable feature for Alteryx in a health facility is that it permits cleaning, organizing, and merging of databases such as Excel and Access. This is very valuable for us since we have many databases.

The interface could be improved. Currently, when you are looking at the information on the screen it is broken down into three parts of the screen. For example, when doing algorithms and you want to see the results on the screen this is when it gets really difficult to view. However, this is fine visually to work with on a big screen but when you are working with a laptop screen it is not very comfortable. Everything is very small.

You have to know to use it. You have to have some training and it's hard. This could improve.

I have been using the solution for approximately 10 months.

I have not had any issue with the stability of the solution.

Since I only have one license to use the solution it is difficult to know about the potential scalability.

The setup is really easy.

The install took approximately 35 minutes.

The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area.

I would recommend the solution 100%. I really think it is a better platform than competitors.

I rate Alteryx a nine out of ten.
