Overall Satisfaction with Alteryx

Such a versatile tool. We leverage Alteryx daily to automate processes, take costs out, add value and improve decision-making. It's also used to prototype solutions prior to a hand-off to our engineering team. One such example, which tends to repeat regularly - is bringing together disparate sources of data. One tool to bring it all together, perform the transformations and prepare for the visualization layer. This is where Alteryx really shines.
  • Data discovery
  • Profiling
  • Transformation
  • Data preparation
  • Cloud based interface
  • Transparent data lineage
  • Process improvement
  • Low/no programming ETL
  • Data discovery
Palantir has a much broader scope and is more difficult to use.

Very flexible tool. A slight learning curve, but once you understand the interface and environment, the results are amazing.
We have the premium success package, which includes training, enablement, support, etc. It's perfect for scaling up a large group of users.
Best suited in large organizations that are looking to scale analytics. In my opinion, Alteryx shines when it's leveraged with Alteryx Server, allowing users to share workflows more easily, create analytic apps, and schedule. I'm personally responsible for enabling the company to perform self-service analytics. Alteryx is a great tool for that, and once the users understand how to use it, they love it. Furthermore, we need to track ROI because, well - it's an expensive tool, and we need to ensure we're getting value for the license costs. It's fairly easy to track the hours we're saving on a regular basis once we've automated a process.

2 - We like to encourage users to help themselves. This allows us to be pretty lean on support headcount. Having said that, we spend a lot of time on enablement, office hours, etc., to ensure the users have opportunities to learn new things and a venue for asking questions.
