Senior Rpa Consultant at Accely Consulting
Time-saving workflows have transformed data preparation and predictive analysis for my team
Some of the best features Alteryx offers are its no and low-code capabilities. It delivers massive time-saving and includes spatial and predictive analysis. Alteryx includes built-in tools such as drive time analysis and linear regression, which are much harder to achieve in standard BI tools such as Power BI or Tableau. In addition to these features, Alteryx provides built-in spatial tools that can calculate drive time and location-based insights with minimal effort through drag-and-drop spatial tools, low complex coding, faster, and more accurate results. Linear regression predicts sales based on marketing spend, estimates costs based on usage, and identifies trends in historical data. Alteryx has positively impacted my organization by saving time, improving accuracy, and enabling better decision-making. Using Alteryx, complex tasks such as data cleansing, joining datasets, drive time analysis, and linear regression can be done much faster compared to manual Excel or SQL work. This reduces dependency on manual effort and lowers the risk of human error. Drive time analysis helps my organization make better location-based decisions, such as identifying optimal service areas or improving customer reach.

I would recommend buying this product for loan origination purposes
FICO OM is very flexible in terms of development, with rapid application development options Streamlined loan origination processes. Credit products. Two years. No. No. Below average. Straightforward. Flexible. Yes, we did. I would recommend buying this product for loan origination…

Good performance, reporting, and data visualization
The two similar solutions that I have used are MicroStrategy and Tableau. Tableau is pretty similar and it would be difficult for me to point out the differences. With MicroStrategy, it has a great feature where you build the representation in the database and it then the tool creates SQL queries by itself. There are more differences between these tools but this is the one essential difference.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"The scheduling within the solution is excellent."
"I believe that the ability to leverage the gallery for scalability, as well as the general data blending functionality, is most beneficial to our core-based users."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"Fast data processing and cleaning."
"We are taking the data from disparate systems and transforming and making the data available for further visualization."
"The drag and drop and layout is simple to understand, with intuitive names of features."
"The tools are built-in; you just plug and play, drag and drop, and once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"FICO OM is very flexible in terms of development, with rapid application development options."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setting up visualizations."
"We like the way we can drill down into each report to get back data on each project, and from the portfolio level I can see what is happening on it, including indirect costs hitting each CIO portfolio and actual resources in terms of time as well as cost."
"In this sector of the market, it is indeed a better tool than the other data analytics tool, such as QlikView, for example."
"In general, I would say that this is a good tool and I recommend it."
"The idea that you don't have to generate reports each day but they are sent automatically is great."
"We like the way we can drill down into each report to get back data on each project. From the portfolio level, I can see what is happening on it. That is a really important feature. I can look at indirect costs, for example, which are hitting each CIO portfolio. It's good to be able to see actual resources in terms of time as well as cost."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setting up visualizations."
 

Cons

"The workflow and pipeline need to improve."
"The server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."
"Although I use this product regularly, I used to code for many years and I am not a big fan of tools like Alteryx. I don't think that it's a good product, and the reason is that when the use cases get more complex, the models get exponentially larger and more complex to put together."
"Mastering Alteryx, a comprehensive solution, takes time. However, once you have gained proficiency with its layout and how to drag, drop, and connect components, it becomes remarkably easy, yet still thorough."
"What they're struggling with is it's not as mature as Tableau in the user management area. It was tougher to manage the server part of it right away, especially since the user base has grown."
"It would be beneficial if Alteryx could lower its price or introduce a loyalty program for individual consultants and freelancers like me."
"Even when it already includes some AI models, this area could be improved."
"Add inbuilt interactive visualization in Alteryx."
"Customer service is below average."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
"Whenever the client or someone was opening the report it would take around 15 to 20 minutes to open the first time."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
"Additional templates would help to get things moving more quickly in terms of getting the reports out."
"At this point, there are other tools that I would recommend before using Spotfire."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
"In terms of performance, I can see there are some issues when you are working with big data. When we are taking it from the Data Lake, we have a lot of issues."
"I would like the visualization for the map of countries to be more easily configurable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"It's very expensive. I'd rate it a four out of ten in terms of the price. It's great for big companies but not for small companies."
"We use the free version of the solution. There are enterprise licenses available. It cost approximately $5,000 annually. It is an expensive solution and there are additional features that cost more money."
"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"If one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the tool's price as a one. The tool is expensive."
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
