Overall Satisfaction with Alteryx

I use Alteryx to identify areas of concern or analyze trends in data. The reporting tool is helpful to no only create reports but send emails to stakeholders to let them know urgent information. I have been able to solve escalated issues quickly with the simple drag-and-drop interface. I have also used it to provide data for standard industry audits.
  • Drag-and-drop interface allows for ease of entry
  • ability to use existing tools to create macros opens the door to more versatility
  • Python plug-in allows me to do anything a Turing complete language can!
  • Gallery search functions a pretty poor
  • There is no way to search schedules on the gallery
  • Quick turnaround of data has saved us countless hours of manual work
  • we have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars by automating
I have not complaints with the system. there are after events that can be added to flows that send emails with a stack trace for visibility into any errors. Stack traces include Tool IDs at the failure point to help debug. Overall the flows run quickly and once I work my own bugs out they are reliable
Alteryx is MUCH more user friendly. both provide the ability to code within them, but Alteryx has much nicer interface. The formula tools have a more simple language that is easier to learn than formulae in SSIS. Alteryx is easy to read with multi colored tools identifying what each one does. It also allows for macros. You can build your own tool to process records of data or batch records together.
