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.

Good management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments
In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many rouge devices broadcasting, and the devices is getting interference from another channel. The only to fix this is to reboot and we need something that reboots on the fly. We also need better security for VLANs and VPNs. There are issues with certain Apple devices. Technical support is not very helpful. The initial setup, which seemed straightforward at first, had to be redone. This may not have been the fault of the product. We're not sure what went wrong.

Cons

"There's a big jump in terms of pricing between license tiers. I'm not sure I understand why the price jumps are so high."
"Based on my experience, I would not recommend Alteryx to others. I would encourage developing internal capabilities over using Alteryx as a solution."
"The server is too expensive for what you get and it is really a designer desktop on a server. It is not worth the money."
"There are a few ways the solution could be made better. The graphical user interface could be made more friendly."
"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."
"The workflow and pipeline need to improve."
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"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."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
