Overall Satisfaction with Alteryx

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.

Pros

  • Data blending.
  • Creating reports.
  • Data cleansing.

Cons

  • Spatial functionality (embedding spatial info in workflow configuration)
  • Advanced/Proficient academy (including simple coding implementation)
  • Improve quality.
  • Reduce time spent on the reporting.
  • Allows to provide more detailed data analysis.
Alteryx data blending concept is more intuitive and more user-friendly. It allows us to change data type or simple column order in seconds instead of minutes in other tools. Functions like Cross Tab or Transpose work quickly and very efficiently in terms of final results. Additionally prepared data might be distributed as data source, complete report, or just email notification. Outputs functionality and options of saving files are very comprehensive and useful for users.

Do you think Alteryx delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Did Alteryx live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Alteryx go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Alteryx again?

Yes

I really highly recommend it as a super useful ETL tool. One of the biggest advantages is that you don't write code there (if we take into account simple data transformation) and just casual knowledge of SQL is sufficient. The performance of the tool is very good, entering files from other data sources/databases works smoothly and does not cause any troubles.
Alteryx support is very fast and comprehensive. My colleague has a problem with the university license and it has been resolved in less than 1 hour. As the Alteryx support, I understand also the help of Alteryx employees in the community where every technical/licensing issue is subject to detailed discussion and on 99% cases resolved there.
Alteryx is well suited if we are talking about blending data from many data sources and when we require specific output. The transformation process is very simple and intuitive. In terms where Alteryx might improve something is for sure data visualization. It is usually an excellent platform between database and viz tools (like Tableau or Qlik).
