Overall Satisfaction

Alteryx is a strong ETL tool that can be used to manipulate. In the past, I've used the tool to prepare data for custom production teams as well as a member of a custom productions team to meet customer needs. The standardization and geospatial tools are particularly useful.
  • The geospatial utilities are exceptional for mapping and plotting coordinates for data selection and market campaign planning.
  • It makes data manipulation easy. The easy-to-use interface makes ETL simple, while maintaining the power of the most recognized tools.
  • It's dozens of tools in one package. You'll no longer need to jump from tool to tool, changing layouts and spending time setting up the next process. Instead, you can set it up all at once, in one powerful tool.
  • Managing input of fixed-width files is a difficulty. The ability to type out the layout, instead of having to manually select column specifications, would be much easier.
  • The ease of use of this tool allows your data team to get off the ground quickly and efficiently.

Alteryx is fast and easy to use. It's easier to import and export files than other DBMS products. It's not as fast and efficient as some of the high profile DBMS products when performing processes against very large files.
I am not the decision maker, but I would renew this product.
I've used it on large projects and small. It's best for handling data, as opposed to project management. It can handle input and output of delimited, Excel, and fixed-width files, as well as several database formats.
