| Senior Capacity Planner at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I used Alteryx daily for efficient data preprocessing when building Tableau dashboards, valuing its graphical interface for quick development. Despite occasional failures and support issues, no other solutions matched its effectiveness for processing large datasets at US Bank. |
| Senior Consultant at a consultancy with 201-500 employees | 3.0 | I've found Alteryx user-friendly for non-coders, especially for data blending, but its collaboration, version control, and integration limitations, along with cost concerns, have led my team to consider more efficient, Python-based or internal alternatives. |
| Chief Information Officer at granistr | 4.5 | I use Alteryx for smart analytics due to its insights and decision-making support, particularly in logistics and supply chain. However, it needs better financial anomaly detection. Transitioning from Microsoft solutions, I've found it enhances AI-driven possibilities for managers. |
| Legal Coordinator at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I used Alteryx for database relations and report extraction, finding it fast for basic processes with a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface. Improvements are needed in documentation and native connectors. It outperforms KNIME and Power BI for larger datasets. |
| Experience Technocrat driving IT initiatives at WISDOMBOWL | 4.0 | I used Alteryx for a retail project to quickly analyze fast-moving products and manage customer profiles. Alteryx's real-time data modification and dashboard capabilities were invaluable, though its high cost is a challenge for independent consultants like me. |
| Manager at Bain & Company | 3.5 | We use Alteryx for data transformation and analysis, appreciating its intuitive drag-and-drop interface that simplifies tasks and integrates well with Tableau and Python. However, licensing issues and the lack of free trials limit accessibility and scalability. |
| Software Engineer at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I primarily use Alteryx for ETL, finding it more user-friendly than Informatica PowerCenter. It simplifies workflow creation, integrates data well, and saves on licensing. However, target table configuration visibility, performance, and documentation could be improved. |
| Tax Manager at RSM | 4.5 | I use Alteryx for tax automation, enjoying its speed and low-code capabilities. While there are some workflow and connector limitations, it's secure and efficient. Despite its high cost, it remains a worthwhile investment compared to KNIME. |
