Alteryx is the unique data analytics tool I have ever used or tested. Learning the tool is very quick, you can start to analyze as soon as you start to use. Maybe you cannot be a super analyst, but you start to analyze in 2 hours or less. You can save tremendous of time, automate many processes. It's cross platform and supports tens of databases which you can bring all together and start analyzing. Spatial Analysis, direct support R and Python, Machine Learning, Intelligence Suite and much more in only one product. I use it more than 4 years and I cannot live without Alteryx. If you're in the cloud, it is already supported. Thank you Alteryx and its developers who contributed to my work that much.

This software has transformed the way I deal with large data quickly. I have built many applications on this platform which automate tasks for me. It makes it easier to share the workload when everything has the same template as an analytic app. I couldn't imagine going back to using Excel as my primary data tool. It also help encourage me to learn other software such as python as it can all be used together to achieve a lot more
  • data prep
  • highlighting errors
  • automation
  • dark mode
  • simpler way to install (maybe auto update)
It can be used to solve any data problem no matter how small, if you would like to keep repeating the task then this would be the best way to use it. Invest the time to build once and then reap the benefits forevermore.

Alteryx is at the core of our analytics; it’s the engine that sits behind our business analytics strategy. It serves as our single version of the truth, bringing in data to one single picture of how the market is moving and allowing us to focus on critical areas such as product quality and competitors to be more agile in the marketplace. We were able to democratize data by pushing it out to the end-user, providing solutions that give time back to analysts so they can focus on analyzing data. We’re building a world-class centralized analytics team focused on this piece of the puzzle.
  • Data Transformation.
  • Predictive analytics.
  • Low code rapid development and deployment.
  • Workflow log/error views.
  • Connectivity to wider range of data sources.
Alteryx has been challenging at times for us where we have wanted to access data via APIs. Alteryx has excelled at supporting the rapid deployment of complex workflows, bringing a wide range of data sources together quickly and effectively.

We've data coming from multiple on premise and could data base and they are all handled by different team with restriction to data. However, we need to use data from multiple source for BI and Analytics. This is where Alteryx has been of immense help. We are able to do data preparation and create a single data set for our BI which is then used for our reporting and dashboard purposes.
  • Extraction of data
  • Publishing data on Tableau gallery
  • Data transformation
  • limitations with InDb tools
  • Macro applications
  • generate SQL from input tools
Alteryx is best suitable for projects where you don't want dependability on database or analytics team to build your workflow. You can build your data model by understanding the business needs and data by yourself. In addition, you don't have to rely on database team to implement a certain calculation or logic to test out a use case. You can test and validate the data as you create your workflow.

I gave consulting to enterprises using Alteryx to streamline their data to insight pipeline, it included finance firms, retail & cpg, manufacturing, airlines... major problems that are common were reaching out the multiple data sources and tumbling them which creates big tables, joining data and enriching... Alteryx was fast and easy on that... It has great geospatial capabilities as well. And good AutoML capabilities. Forecasting is a bit simpler than expected unfortunatley and optimization capabilities were small scale...
  • Good at sifting huge data on premises... It fits big data in your desktop
  • The productization of an analytics pipeline is extremely easy, lowcode, nocode...
  • New AutoML capabilities and it's implementation using Alteryx promote turns a desktop capability to enterprise scale...
  • It requires embedded BI with Natural language querying capabilities...
  • They introduced GenAI capabilities with lowcode nocode but the scope is a bit limited, it includes LLMS but not Stable diffusion like Image generators, and the timing was a bit late
  • Alteryx totally lack Event stream processing, both listening and small (device embedded) model deployment capabilities which are required in Iot or AIoT businesses
If you are an SME investing to Alteryx and get going with using and producing insights is X20 faster that SAS X5 faster than others. If you are a Corporate Marketing or Corporate Sales unit, A Retail & CPG developing models and deploying, getting ROI, AROI will be X10 faster and bigger that SAS, IBM Watson etc... If you are a FI like a bank or Insurance, you'll be limited in ROI's a bit enterprise scale support and automated reporting functionality needs to be improved, you need to couple with a Big 4 who is well versed in Alteryx like PWC or Deloitte...

Alteryx is used for many different purposes in my organization. I can speak for Global Supply Chain. Within Global Supply Chain Data Domain Alteryx is used as Tool for running different workflows in order to monitor material master data Quality for example. Different rules are implemented so that master data settings can be improved based on the results.
  • user friendly
  • easy to use
  • smart tool
  • helps to reduce manual effort
  • enables date driven decisions
  • expensive license
  • some times tool is slow when volume of data is high
  • takes some time to get up to speed with working with alteryx, because at the beginning it's quite complex to understand how it works, but then quite easy to use
Alteryx is offering functions to process, analyse data automated. Alteryx can replays most manual Excel processes. Alteryx can help to streamline data analytics processes, reduce manual efforts and enables data based decisions. I experienced that Alteryx is easier to learn compared with excel and comprises more funcionalities to process larger datasets

Our Tax Department uses Alteryx to compile sales and use data for filings; to instantly create journal entries from bank downloads compared to our property management company records; to reconcile all GL accounts; to create accruals with up to the minute processing data; and so much more. We had been using Alteryx for a few years before we merged with another company and having so many things automated before doubling the number of shops and expanding how many states we're in was the only thing that saved our sanity.
  • easy to hit SQL or sharepoint or excel or just any type of data source (those are the ones I use most)
  • quick for stacking hundreds of daily reports and instantly having a year or more of data handy
  • outputs can go to any format and there's so much support/instruction available I haven't yet hit a need that I couldn't find how to accomplish
  • their online community website is tremendous for instructions and samples and news
  • in about 4 years of using it - I cannot name something I've needed to do with it and couldn't find a way - this is going to be a difficult list to compile
  • the hardest thing I can recall setting up is outputs to pdf because there are so many options such that charts, data, etc. can be configured in any way desired - that was overwhelming to start to figure out at first but there are lots of samples on the community website
  • any other issues I've encountered have been due to IT restrictions and trouble connecting to data sources but once we convinced IT we really needed their help - they've also been able to read on the community website and figure out the settings needed to make things work in our environment
We're trying right now to get more people using it at our company so we can send management documented cases for how we can expand and purchase Alteryx Server which will extend the capabilities even more and across more departments. It's been well suited for pretty much everything we do on a repeating schedule. It's worth the time to set up the workflows. When Treasury sends me the bank download now - I save it to a folder and run our workflows and send back 2 journal entries in .9 seconds. (yes - in less than a second it's finished running)

I use Alteryx to teach my students how to utilize advanced data analytics software for conducting complex analyses on large datasets. I also recommended its use to our controller's office with the aim of streamlining their processes.
  • Its ability to process large datasets with ease.
  • It's very intuitive to use, and it has many similar functionalities to those in Excel.
  • It's suitable for repetitive and routine use, such as monthly reporting.
  • I don't have any suggested improvements for Alteryx. Users should understand that it's intended to be used with large datasets and for recurring processes. As it takes time to build out the workflow, for one-off analysis, Excel will probably suffice.
It's intended to be used with large datasets and for recurring processes. It takes time and planning to develop a workflow. For simple and one-time data analysis, it may not be the best use of resources.

Alteryx used for data wrangling, modeling, and data visualization. I find that Alteryx has an easy-to-use user interface and makes the ETL process smoother. I think the data visualizations produced by Alteryx are generally good, although not the best in the industry. Overall, I use Alteryx when I want to be able to easily reproduce a data process and want to be able to do analytics quickly.
  • Data wrangling
  • Data visualization
  • Data modeling
  • Alteryx is great for processes that is has already "thought through". It's more difficult to get Alteryx to deal with some customization.
  • The data visualizations with Alteryx are generally good, although I don't think the color schemes are the best.
  • I think the data science capabilities are awesome with Alteryx, although not as well used as products built with Python or R.
Alteryx is well-suited for companies that wish to automate their data pipelines. Alteryx makes it easy to set up the data science and to find ideas from the data that may be worth pursuing. I think Alteryx is also good at making the work product sharable with other professionals. Alteryx has relatively good charts.

We currently utilize Alteryx for these corporate functions.
1. SAS replacement for department ETL
2. automation of processes in finance and sales
3. upskilling analysts
4. feeding Snowflake using bulk loader.
It is also being used as a rules engine to enforce some compensation rules in sales. Finance, Sales, IT, Actuary, Operations, Tax are all utilizing Alteryx.
  • automating manual steps
  • interoperability with Snowflake
  • advanced analytics
  • ETL
  • Data cleansing
  • Data blending
  • time consuming to set up database connections
  • automation requires server or another product

Alteryx has helped us significantly improve our speed and accuracy allowing us to focus on the finer detail. The tool's ability to automate with zero coding experience needed is second to none and is being used by analysts of all technical capabilities.
  • Ease of use
  • Automation
  • Scheduling
  • Some errors can be very generic or of very little detail
One example of where we saw a ROI was through spatial analytics and web scraping. We used Alteryx to browse known event sites, cross reference this with our store list, and generate scripts to upload into our ordering system for common products bought by concert and event goers.

We use it to aggregate large amounts of Excel file (templates) into a single lead sheet that can be analyzed and used in Tax Return software.
  • Brings semi-structured template data together
  • Allows for crawling up a hierarchy
  • East for an end user to get up to speed on.
  • Price per seat
  • Some tools are not very user friendly in my opinion.
Alteryx is fantastic for bringing together disparate bits of data from various sources files and formats. It doesn't do visualization very well even though there is some functionality built in.

We use Alteryx for tax automation. We streamline processes that have multiple inputs, consolidate data and automate the calculation of complex tax adjustments. Alteryx has taken processes that used to take days to months of time down to minutes. We can now save time and reduce hours of manual labor while decreasing the rate of manual errors that come with a manual process. Team members spend less time on manual tasks and can now focus on value-add activities related to the tax provision and compliance processes.
  • Alteryx reduces the rate of manual error by automating previously manual processes
  • Alteryx reduces the time it takes to complete a task by automating it on designer
  • A firm can benefit by using the server instead of purchasing tons of individual licenses so many can benefit from workflows created
  • The reporting tools are not as dynamic as an interface such a Power BI
  • Alteryx works well for applying logic across columns of data rather than one "cell" for example
Alteryx is a great tool for data manipulation and transformation. It consolidates multiple inputs well whether thats in one workflow or a more complex workflow that can consolidate hundreds of files. The time savings using Alteryx is irreplaceable and has given team members tens to hundreds of hours back to focus on more value-added work. Taking manual processes and automating them has benefitted both the firm and end user.

We use Alteryx to enable decision-makers to access information that transforms our internal operations. This primarily functions as a tool for accessing our data lake and manipulating the data in a low-code format that can then either be directly output into reports for users to access, or to be used with Tableau where we build out dashboards for users to pick and choose views they want to see.
  • Little-to-no experience in coding required to use the platform
  • Structures workflow in an "easy to digest" manner
  • Access to plenty of tools and macros to get any job done quickly
  • Incredibly active community to help when problems come up
  • Control containers
Empowering business-savvy employees to begin exploring their own data needs without a DS background is where Alteryx shines. I think for users who have more of a DS background, Alteryx may be a little big slower for them to accomplish the same work they could do with Python or R. It does make scheduling data runs/workflow sharing much easier though.

Our team uses Alteryx to pull in data from multiple sources (mostly excel and S3 buckets), then blend, prep, and apply formulas in a forecasting model. This model is used to give labor forecasts and recommendations. As an individual contributor I have grown to love Alteryx as it takes the place of using Python and Excel individually for prepping reports and blending data.
  • Data blending
  • Data prep
  • Report Building
  • Python integration
  • Data visuals
Anyone that is mostly reliant on SQL and Excel (and some of those that rely on Python/Pandas) for day to day tasks could benefit from using Alteryx. I used to be very reliant on pulling in data from SQL and other sources, then building out reports in excel - I now have it automated in Alteryx to where I just have to hit run.

We use Alteryx for A LOT of solutions!
In total, Alteryx is the jack-of-all toolboxes for your jack-of-all workers that don't have the time to learn to code or learn fifteen different platforms. With their no-code/low-code options anyone can start automating.

I have implemented it to create (and automate) our month end reports for ALCO at the beginning of each month and reflecting back on the previous month-end/quarter-end. It can be used to create applications to provide a more seamless analysis search for a less-skilled user. I have used it to geocode and then reverse-geocode within the same workflow in order to get an accurate depiction of data within our branch regions. My favorite use case at the moment is not what it is really advertised for. My team and I are building an application to be accessed by the Accounting team to create entries/review entries/attach support for entries that will create the necessary file outputs to be batch uploaded the following day.
  • ETL: extracting from random platforms and cleaning data
  • Analysis: breaking down large data into smaller bite-size chunks in routine ways
  • Creating an interface for applications that lesser skilled users can still use
  • Customer Service is PHENOMENAL
  • Data visualization is not its best skill
  • Excited to see what the Cloud version brings to the table
  • Chaining apps within Gallery is a touch confusing
The best scenario for Alteryx to make the biggest impact is within small-to medium-sized institutions where there isn't a fully established coding/data team in place. While it will ultimately be helpful wherever it is implemented, Alteryx can help these institutions from day 1 and continue lifting that load as you won't have to go back to the same project or workflow every day/week/month.

Alteryx is a crucial part of our organization, addressing key business problems through its data integration, preparation, advanced analytics, and workflow automation capabilities. We leverage Alteryx to efficiently handle diverse data sources, perform complex analyses, and automate processes, improving decision-making and operational efficiency. Its deployment spans across departments, empowering us to drive data-driven insights and gain a competitive edge.
  • Data Integration and cleansing
  • Spatial Analytics
  • Machine Learning Integration
  • Automation Workfow
  • 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.
Well Suited Scenarios
  • Data Preparation and Integration: Alteryx excels in data preparation tasks, such as data cleansing, transformation, and integration.
  • Predictive Analytics and Modeling : It enables users to perform complex statistical analysis and models and algorithms, making it more valuable for cases like customer segmentation, demand forecasting, fraud detection.
  • Automation WorkFlows: Amazing for repetitive data processing task, or automated rescheduling.
Less Appropriate Scenarios:
  • Real Time data processing, large scale big data processing, Heavy statistical computations.

Alteryx is used across all aspects of the business, from HR to finance, legal to supply chain. We solve everyday data cleanliness and connectivity problems and generate insights using automated machine learning. We connect systems together, clean & combine datasets, generate additional features, and (depending on the use case) perform a variety of analytics: spatial, prescriptive, and predictive. All are automated dynamically by Alteryx.
  • Data cleansing (ETL/ELT)
  • Feature engineering
  • Spatial analysis
  • Joining data sets
  • Automated machine learning
  • Amazing community of like-minded and helpful users
  • Visualisation
  • Reporting
I would not hesitate to recommend Alteryx to a colleague. Alteryx can be put to almost any data use case and because it's low-code/no-code/code-friendly it can be used by any member of the organization. Alteryx is well-suited to anything that is currently done in Microsoft Excel and for any users who have to perform repetitive tasks.

We handle a lot of data. We need to do so accurately, consistently, and efficiently. Since we have been using Alteryx, we have been able to re-platform and (massively) improve existing processes as well as introduce new ones, many of which are available to colleagues on a self-serve basis. Processes that used to take a day, now take minutes, while we have been able to handle data in a level of detail that we were unable to do previously. Scheduling a simple App to check data has already saved us thousands. Moreover, I love developing on Alteryx; it is intuitive, flexible, and enjoyable to use.
  • Connect to various databases - cloud-based and on-premise.
  • Handling large data sets
  • Offering a self-serve platform
  • Improved interfaces would be good
Our Alteryx proof of concept was to create a reconciliation process handling large data sets (~1 million to ~1 billion). This used to take many hours and in some cases, days. These can now be completed within minutes with much greater accuracy.

Alteryx is being used across the whole organization from the tax department to the assurance department. Alteryx is a fantastic software that allows for data manipulation and complex workflows that would normally take a program like excel double, maybe even twice the manual work. With Alteryx expect juiced up version of excel with a workflow layout allowing you to build custom flows to manipulate and understand complex data.
  • Data Wrangling
  • Ability to Handle Big Data files
  • Easy functionalities, avoiding common excel formula pitfalls
  • User must have significant knowledge of functionalities
  • "Code Based" Software which provides a big learning gap
  • Many intricacies that can ruin a whole workflow
Alteryx is well suited when dealing with LARGE data files that need to be converted to different document types, Manipulation of data, and creating standardized workflows to be used a multitude of times.

Less appropriate, simple/ small data files not needing much manipulation. Logical excel formulas could be used to solve the issue.. etc.

Our organization has data in several different systems. Alteryx does an excellent job of connecting our various systems, blending the data, and formatting the data in a way our users need it. I use Alteryx to send daily dashboard reports, exception reports, parse website data, and anything else we have data related. Alteryx does an exceptional job formatting the data exactly how we need it.
  • Connecting to practically any data source.
  • Easy to user interface.
  • Excellent community and support.
  • Regular updates.
  • It would be helpful to have a favorites workflow section or be able to pin often used workflows in Designer.
  • It would be nice to have one button to cache all incoming connections in designer.
  • The desktop automation application needs an update.
If you spend time formatting, blending, or extracting data, it's worthwhile to see if Alteryx would be a good fit for your organization. In my opinion, Alteryx is a good fit if you have 20 or 20000 employees in your company. The time Alteryx saves us more and pays for itself the more we use it.

We use Alteryx to merge and reformat large data sets. We have workflows built out to automate tasks that are done at weekly, bi-weekly, monthly and quarterly intervals.
  • Ability to work with large data files
  • Combining data sets that are in different formats, file types, etc.
  • Automating workflows
  • Offering a version for Mac
  • More guidance when there is an error in your workflow
Alteryx has been a game changer for our organization. It allows us to work with multiple large files at once that are in various formats, with the ability to merge files, run calculations, add additional variables, etc. It's great for automating tasks such as running reports where you're taking data from multiple files that are in different formats and combining them into one file with everything in the same format. Once you have your workflow built out, it's simply a matter of swapping out the input and output files and clicking "Run." It's also great for working with files that are extremely large that otherwise might slow your computer down or cause it to crash.
