Alteryx for Financial Services
We use Alteryx to transform client data for ingestion into proprietary tax compliance software. We also use it to validate the format and content of client information. Internally, Alteryx is crucial to our ongoing process improvements, and we use it to bridge legacy systems into new solutions. We develop one-off workflows for smaller solutions and deploy analytic apps for repeatable and widely distributed processes. We train and support users in both the tax technology and tax compliance practices, encouraging engagement teams to develop and maintain workflows themselves wherever possible.

The Thrill of Solving Supply Chain Problems
Alteryx is used throughout the company. The area I directly support, supply chain analytics, it is used both "big" and "small": From the engine behind larger supply chain models that drive inventory strategy to protect service; to refining planning parameters intended to predict the future behavior of our supply chain and drive our plan; to ad hoc questions that can now be answered in a matter of minutes; Alteryx is the Swiss army knife that enables these endeavors.
- Grab and combine data from disparate sources
- Enable curiosity and the solving of complex business problems
- Flattens the learning curve for complex analytics
- sharing workflows

High Horsepower Data !
Alteryx has fundamentally transformed our ability to solve complex Supply Chain problems. We can automate repetitive tasks in a relatively short amount of time for nearly constant ROI. We now use Alteryx to start most (if not all) BI pipelines and for creating complex analytic apps that can be shared broadly across the organization. We're eager to put Alteryx to task on increasingly complex workflows and love the additional products that can be added to scale the ability of workflows as needed.
- Powerful workflow automation.
- Business intelligence enabler.
- Scalable, stackable, and chainable analytics.
- External API integrations.
- 3rd party library for macros and external data integration.
- Server workflow searching/management.
We use Alteryx in a number of ways across the organization, and leverage it in different capacities wherever data analysis and process automation are needed. We use Alteryx for data prep and blending across numerous disparate data sources, customer segmentation and buy propensity analysis, time series forecasting, market opportunity analysis, consumer behavior, and geospatial coverage based media selection optimization, automated report generation, automated invoice pdf scraping, media delivery pacing reports, and the list goes on. We are able to leverage a small team of Alteryx Designer users for ad-hoc analysis requests and builds of analytic applications. Over 100 of these analytic apps have been deployed across the organization via our Alteryx Gallery that is all utilized in different capacities, allowing end-users to complete high-level analytics and reporting tasks for instance with only a quick interaction with a simple interface and no coding or even "drag and drop analytics" knowledge needed. One such application alone has automated analytics processes and report generation to the degree that with the amount it has been used, what would have once taken in aggregate 20+ years of labor to produce has been reduced to a single workweek of staff input and computer processing time.
- Extremely easy to use interface, with complex coding options available if/when needed.
- Data connections and outputs available to just about everything.
- Advanced spatial analytics capabilities are extremely easy to use.
- A larger library of data sources being leveraged/licensed through Alteryx directly similar to the Experian and Dun & Bradstreet data that is available now would be ideal for additional data enrichment.
- The ability to take R and Python-based data insights/model outputs/forecasts/etc. and pull directly into downstream tools and reporting is a bit lacking and could use improvement.

Alteryx Delivers Self-service with a Smile
Alteryx has allowed us the self-service reporting capabilities that we longed for. With many disparate data sources, reporting was a chore and our analytics teams were bogged down with ad hoc reports. Alteryx allowed us the ability to create self-service tools through the analytic apps deployed to the gallery that could be leveraged by the business to pull their own ad hoc reports. This freed up analysts to do more complex reporting and analysis.
- Pulling data from multiple disparate data sources.
- Allows users to see the data at every step of the workflow to be able to cleanse, analyze, and optimize the data.
- Provides an analytics platform that is easy for users of all levels to thrive in whether they are just starting out in their analytics journey or they have a master's degree in Data Science.
- The Gallery search capabilities are not as easy as they should be.
- I wish you could see the schedules for a workflow in the gallery when you click on the workflow itself, instead of having to search through the schedules as a user.
- The filters on the Schedules section in the Gallery don't work as they should.

Say goodbye to your data headache!
I use Alteryx to automate all our analytics, we have converted all our SQL queries and access databases into automated Alteryx workflows from which we then use the intelligence suite to conduct automated machine learning to get real insights into the data we or our clients currently hold. We also use Alteryx to upskill analytics teams from analysts to citizen data scientists
- ETL
- Automated Data Science
- Democratisation of Data
- Interactive dashboards that can be exported to users without licences
- Links to sites such as MS Teams
- Cloud

Alteryx review for IB area!
I am using Alteryx for automation and improving the current methodology of standard (daily basis) reporting. It allows to reduce time spent on it and enhance the process of data analysis. Ad-hoc reporting is more accurate, comprehensive, and detail-oriented. Additionally, Alteryx helps me to prepare data sources for Tableau dashboard. Such a solution is powerful as I can blend the data in workflow and eventually produce one data source, it means better and faster dashboards' performance. Last but not least - Alteryx supports transition from manual processes into a half-automated solution.
- Data blending.
- Creating reports.
- Data cleansing.
- Spatial functionality (embedding spatial info in workflow configuration)
- Advanced/Proficient academy (including simple coding implementation)

Alteryx premium product
We use Alteryx to streamline the data usage amongst our internal clients by providing streamlined automation and applications to bring complex data questions into easy to interpret outcomes. With Alteryx's issue ticketing, KPIs, system statuses, and more are easily managed, automated, and curated with speed and efficiency.
- Excellent data discovery tool, quickly understand new or unknown data in system.
- Automation of repetitive tasks and reports.
- Self-Service reporting and exploration.
- Alteryx Designer version compatibility with server version can sometimes limit the adoption of the newest tools and features.
- Certain tools can hang-up in viewer causing minor annoyances.
- Visualization tools are rudimentary and an after thought.

Alteryx - it just works!
Alteryx is often used to solve problems that are created by data. We have used it for visualizations, self-serve data, HR solutions, and automating an email/Machine learning process. Alteryx allows for virtually anything to be done within data, and we have even started to see Alteryx leak into personal projects.
- Fantastic community
- Regular updates with feedback
- Great, easy to use products
- Machine learning could include more models
- Keep adding tools and improving with feedback on the community
- reporting tools could use overhauling

The most powerful all-in-one data platform out there.
I implement Alteryx across multiple verticals and across all levels of organisations. I've been using Alteryx alongside many other ETL/ELT, Business Intelligence, and Enterprise Warehousing solutions for many years. I am constantly impressed by how rapidly it can be deployed and how the benefits can be seen on day one. This platform can revolutionise businesses that are still dependent on Excel, SQL, or other legacy platforms and can immediately remove the bottleneck many businesses have due to IT being the focal point of data reporting and analytics. With the constant development of the platform and the vast global community, Alteryx is always at the cutting edge, whether that be constant improvements to the standard data blending and prep tools to the emergence of automated machine learning, image analysis, etc. Basically, Alteryx can do everything with your data. Code-free.
- Data prep and blending from unlimited sources
- Advanced analytics with automated machine learning
- Connect to all major technology platforms and write your own connectors
- Automation of repetitive tasks
- Rapid deployment and quick learning curve due to code free interface
- Easily integrate all data sources
- Spatial analytics
- Data visualisations could be improved, but it syncs with Qlik, Tableau, PowerBI etc.

Alteryx - Data and analytics , low code powerhouse
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 is great
Data cleaning, processing, making the data easier to use and reliable.
- Cleaning
- Processing
- Spatial Analysis
- Combining sources
- UI
- Reporting Tools
We use Alteryx to build and deploy Propensity to Purchase Models, market sizing, customer product usage analysis, geographical analysis, and other analytics. It is also very useful for data cleaning and imputation and is our primary research tool for data investigation. We also use it for list creation and match back analysis.
- It does an amazing job at making data manipulation easy.
- With Intelligence Suite it allows us to build models quickly and iterate many modes in a short period of time allowing fast model improvement.
- It is easy to learn. I have gotten staff with modest coding experience (on any platform) up and running in a day, and usefully proficient in a week.
- Large data sets are not a problem, even when running R modules.
- Intelligence suite could use more than four modeling tools and the visual output of decision trees (i.e., a picture of the tree) would be helpful.
- Adding extra tools is still a little clunky (better than it was)

Can't live without Alteryx!
Alteryx is great for blending data from different sources. We use it to format the data and combine different data in order to make it ready for Tableau. You can also connect to different APIs and schedule workflows to help automate things. We input data from sources like our LMS, Qualtrics survey results, and various spreadsheets.
- Blend data
- Format data
- Automate reports
- Prepare data for other apps like Tableau
- It is very hard to scroll within a workflow--it goes from slow to fast and no medium speed.
- I would love a feature to "pop out" the workflow to view in a full size window.
- Sometimes there are errors in the workflow that appear out of nowhere and resolve themselves. But it can cause the workflow to error out.
January 20, 2022
The best data pipeline/transformation tool available
We use Alteryx to pull in data from our source systems and transform the data to our needs. Alteryx has been extremely helpful to pull in data as it is super quick and allows for very custom queries. The IN-Db toolset is a gamechanger as it allows users to build complex SQL statements with ease.
- Quickly query databases with In-DB Tools
- Easily make any transformations needed to your data
- Visualize your data pipeline and process from start to end
- Ability to visualize the actual data easily
- Macros are powerful can be overly complex at times
- Error messages are often not very helpful and provide little context

Alteryx - the Power of Coding for Non-Coders
Alteryx is used by a variety of small teams within our group to prepare and revise Excel reports from their raw state to be ready for a variety of both client-facing and dashboards. Essentially, a number of reports need to be consolidated with new variables created, so that the data is clean and easy to manipulate when creating the dashboards we need in Microsoft Power BI.
- Cleanse data
- Automate repetitive tasks
- Provide a simple but power GUI
- Making syntax more clear on portions where code is necessary
- Stop having the "Start Here" tab open every time you open the software
Alteryx is used across most departments at Novus, either in desktop form or through gallery apps. We use it for everyday reporting, QA checks in operations, status reports in media planning and strategy, drawing and analyzing trade areas, and even for semi-automated data transformation and database building. That's just scratching the surface.
- Merging multiple excel or CSV files from a directory into a single datasource
- Basic data ETL like joining, unions, filtering, formulas and appends
- Release new tools and capabilities on a regular cadence to keep up with the industry
- Cloud-based data connections
- AMP Engine is cool, but not always effective
- Better licensed datasets - Dun & Bradstreet is not a friendly chunk of POI data

Data Preparation at Its Best
We use Alteryx for significant database scrubbing, development of reporting tables, and scheduling of recurring reports for end-users. The program has allowed us to move away from using [Microsoft] Excel to prepare data for use in reports. Additionally, the scheduling capabilities have allowed us to automate a number of reports that used to require the intervention of a DBA or other business user to generate on-demand. Not only has this freed up resources for other purposes, but [also] has allowed the teams requiring these reports to be much more nimble. The fact that Alteryx is so user-friendly for those without a strong background in SQL or other database languages has allowed for certain reporting functions to be handled at a level that otherwise wouldn't be possible. This has [a] broad reach within our organization, from Finance to Operations to Marketing. Ad-hoc analyses that used to require stringing together multiple Excel sheets, spending time vlookuping all day, and slogging through slow response times have become much faster - ultimately allowing answers to be found faster than before.
- Makes database functions accessible to all users
- Automate reporting functions fairly easily
- Performs tedious data scrubbing with ease
- Response time on really large data sets can be long.
- Some tools, like address verification, require additional costs.
- Entrance into Alteryx Server is highly expensive and not viable for smaller companies, thus limiting some functionality.
