Pros
"The design portion of this tool is easy to use without code, which his something that something we can appreciate.""Alteryx is so advanced.

We like the ability to connect the solution to multiple sources. It's easier than other data modeling and extraction solutions. It's built on a self-service concept, so it's easy for anyone to open the tool and directly import or export data from it.""The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor.""Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form.""Geo features have made spatial mapping large retail universes possible.""You get more support with Alteryx, and it's good for non-sophisticated users who can benefit from the support included in the price."

Cons
"They can provide some pre-built tools for predictive analytics instead of us having to build all the tools. It should also be improved from the visualization aspect. It should have better visualization capabilities. There are tools out there that have better visualization capabilities, which Alteryx is lacking currently.""Deep learning models are not currently supported.""A feature which allows the user to be able to click on an output (in a file browser) and see the creation of the module would be fantastic.""The interface could be improved.""There are no ready models to use in analytics.""If there is any way to make the learning curve less steep, that would be ideal.""It would be great if Alteryx could take third party tools and incorporate them.""We can't browse multiple files. When we deploy a solution on a gallery, let's say I have ten different files, and I have to upload them all at once. This is something that's difficult in the gallery. So case by case, I see some downsides, but often we do something alternative."

"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location.""There are issues with certain Apple devices."
