    Alteryx is more efficient than competitors we've tested and used. Alteryx Designer can handle data wrangling and analysis that we once needed to do in multiple software.

    I still use SQL, Python, and Excel when I have to - but alteryx has largely replaced all three of these. Every operation I need to do in any of these I can do in alteryx and see what I'm doing each step of the way - so problem solving is also easier.

    Alteryx beats Tableau fair and square. Tableau is good for vizzy but nothing is comparable to Alteryx's data analysis and big data power. KNIME as well is nothing compared to the R&D Alteryx has. Alteryx having a cost compared to KNIME is a factor but the ROI is definitely …

    I would 100% recommend Alteryx to a friend, for me its friendly interface is the best, it has all the tools I need without the headache that programming is. It can be used for simple or complex analysis, so honestly, I don’t see a scenario where it wouldn’t suit. I’ve used Alteryx to make simple things I could do in Excel, for example, but it was less complex and faster to do in Alteryx, so why not? Its a very versatile tool.

    Cons
    Alteryx
    • Steeper Learning Curve: Alteryx can have a steep learning curve for users who are new to the platform or have limited experience with data analytics. Enhancements to the user interface and user onboarding resources could help make the learning process more intuitive and accessible to a wider range of users.
    • Enhanced Data Visualization Capabilities: Alteryx offers basic data visualization capabilities, but there is room for improvement in terms of advanced visualizations and interactive dashboarding features. Adding more sophisticated chart types, interactive widgets, and customization options would enhance the data visualization capabilities within the platform.
    • Improved Error Handling and Debugging: Alteryx provides error handling mechanisms, but enhancing the error reporting and debugging capabilities would be beneficial. Improved error messages, better visibility into data flow, and debugging tools could help users troubleshoot and resolve issues more efficiently.

    • Too simplistic
    • Could not find source revision management integration support
    • Only basic debugging is available
    • Does not have data-science-specific notebooks (but can be installed separately)

    We've developed a working partnership with Alteryx. As an enablement suite, we're continuing to innovate and deliver great products with use of Alteryx in our solutions. Alteryx use expands to our global product development teams and is in use in multiple parts of our organization. Alteryx also delivers Experian demographic content to other clients in their product offering. We're highly likely to renew, but that decision is way above my pay grade.

    Usability
    Alteryx
    I've found that while some things might take a little longer to create, the flexibility of Alteryx allows you to perform any function needed. I haven't found a use that was not available in Alteryx yet. APIs and XMLs can be created to perform certain functions. In addition, CMD line commands can be sent using Alteryx to perform certain functions as well.

    The IDE Python IDLE is a good place to start as it helps you become familiar with the way Python works and understand its syntax.
    This IDE allows you to configure the environment, font, size, colors, .....
    It also looks like any simple text editor for any operating system, I work with Windows or Linux interchangeably, and you don't have to learn to use the IDE before programming.
    Once the IDE is executed you can start programming directly in it.

    I use many programs and compared to others, Alteryx virtually never goes down, freezes up or gives an application error. Over a 4 year time period that I have used this program, any of these may have happened 3 times. It is an incredibly stable program that I feel completely confident in.

    Alteryx
    I already gave the example of journal entries created in less than a second. What else can I tell you about.... I can tell you those 2 journal entries have historically had to be split into separate accounting systems so the outputs had to be very different (D365 vs Intacct) such that they are exactly ready for uploading. I can tell you I used to have some tire and battery queries hitting a line item detail table and they took hours to run UNTIL I asked IT for a view in SQL and now they're ready in about 5 minutes total. I guess I'd say if anything does take a long time - do some research with others and figure out what would speed them up

    Stellar, bar-none. Some of the best support folks of any vendor. The Alteryx Community is the most responsive and supportive. On the rare occasion of a release issue or bug, we've been able to get quick help to solve the core problem. Alteryx does not play the blame game. They genuinely help the users solve their issues or respond to questions

    Python IDLE support is what the community can give you. As it is free software, it does not have support provided by the manufacturer or by third-parties.
    In any case, for most of the problems that normal users can find, the solution, or alternatives, can be found quickly online.
    As this IDE is made in Python, the support is the same group of Python developers.

    There is really not much to it (the installation, that is). Once you get it installed, along with any of the add-ons (demographics, R, etc.), you are up and running almost immediately. There is really no additional setup. You can immediately begin blending data, running demographics, performing spatial queries, running predictive analysis, etc. And for many of these functions, the learning curve is quite easy.

    Alteryx is MUCH more user friendly. both provide the ability to code within them, but Alteryx has much nicer interface. The formula tools have a more simple language that is easier to learn than formulae in SSIS. Alteryx is easy to read with multi colored tools identifying what each one does. It also allows for macros. You can build your own tool to process records of data or batch records together.

    It's easy to set up and run quick analysis in Python IDLE on my local machine. The output is direct and easy to read. But sometimes I prefer Jupyter Notebook when the datasets are large, since it would take too long to run on my local machine. It is easier to run Jupyter Notebook on my cloud desktop

    Return on Investment
    Alteryx
    • Error handling - allows controls to be built into workflows easily and allows them to be isolated and spat into control reports that can be easily reviewed and audited, thanks to the ability to create multiple outputs in one go.
    • Time-saving - saved huge amounts of time, especially when moving Excel processes into Alteryx.
    • Product development - allowed my firm to create products that we have been able to market and sell to clients.

    • Beginners can easily understand and adapt to GUI.
    • We could automate several manual validation tasks and so could reduce human intervention.
