Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase is simple and straightforward."
"You get more support with Alteryx, and it's good for non-sophisticated users who can benefit from the support included in the price."
"Alteryx has helped us spend more time identifying results instead of performing analysis manually. It has helped us in our loading process, including scrubbing data and identifying data elements that need to be corrected. It enables us to understand our data sets a lot better."
"Alteryx effectively visualizes the flow of data and what happens at each stage. I also like that it's a no-code solution. I also like that you can troubleshoot certain parts of the workflow by putting them in a sandbox."
"The solution has a very strong community that is involved in the product. It helps make the usage easier and helps us find answers to our questions."
"Good data transformation."
"Alteryx significantly reduces the time spent searching for specific information."
"Predictive models, which are easy to use, and help a lot with fast design and deployment​."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
 

Cons

"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"The interface could be improved."
"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."
"I'd like to see more artificial intelligence business tools or features in Alteryx."
"It would be great if Alteryx could take third party tools and incorporate them."
"The learning curve is long, and there is lack of e-learning; the tool is not user-friendly to a non-technical user."
"There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search."
"Alteryx could be improved in the area of analytics and central governance."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
"It's probably on the pricey side, but they provide some really useful ways to grow and test."
"While it offers extensive features, including predictive analytics, for those who mainly use it for data preparation and blending, the cost can be prohibitive."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a ten, as it is highly priced."
"Its price should be lower. The key thing that we see is that talking about ROI is an important element at the time of purchase. Cost becomes a factor in every discussion. Justifying the ROI for these kinds of workflows is always a challenge, and the only way to counter the challenge is by addressing the pricing."
"The seat is too expensive."
"There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else."
"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
