Overall Satisfaction with Alteryx Analytics
Alteryx Analytics is used by our corporate analytics team. We design dashboards, build predictive models, and deploy them on the server. This helps executives to make data-driven decisions across the board.
The dashboards developed by Alteryx are generally associated with financials, employee performance, staff scheduling or any other area where we feel data analysis can improve the results significantly.

Pros
- Designing dashboards is very easy and intuitive in Alteryx. Although some form of analytical aptitude is needed, most of it is very user friendly.
- Embedding R or Python Code is fairly straightforward in Alteryx. This makes it very sophisticated for data analysis and predictive data modelling.
- Effective mathematical calculations-- which are difficult to code in SQL-- are very easy to write in Alteryx.
Cons
- Improved Maps/ GeoCoding system for geographical analysis should be there.
- Running data extracts can be made more efficient. Tableau does it much better.
- Cross-Database joins should be allowed and the data extraction should be much simpler.
I have used Tableau Desktop. We selected Alteryx because of the better pricing options they had for our firm. Although Tableau has amazing features like data blending, story designing dashboards, parameters switches, geo coding, etc. Alteryx provides decent solutions in most of these areas as well.
Tableau Servers and licenses are very expensive on a per-user basis, and here Alteryx wins hands down.
