Great analytics software, but costs too much
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to transfer data into the correct format and blend it is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
The software costs too much for a small company like me to have an ROI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it for data analysis, data blending, and regression analysis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are a lot of other options so make sure you evaluate all your options.
Useful ETL and Analytics at a Steep Price
What do you like best about the product?
Interface enables users to easily access and prepare data for analysis or other use. Lots of analytical modules/tools with deep sophistication for analysis and modeling. Extensive capabilities to get creative, design and build custom solutions. Customer service typically responsive and knowledgeable Readily manages repetitive data functions efficiently.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lacks detailed documentation making for a steep learning curve and inefficient use of time to complete basic functions at on-boarding. Poor charting (data visualization) and reporting features. In many cases it is quicker to use Excel to perform ad-hoc data tasks and analysis. Cost makes for a challenging ROI. An occasional software crash. Current version 11 appears more stable. Data product add-on falls short in value.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fisite uses alteryx to clean, organize, analyze and report on consumer survey data. Perform trade area analysis for retail clients. Analyze/model marketing data. Repetitive data preparation is more efficient.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Cost makes it most appropriate for the sophisticated, senior analysis. More functionality and tools than are typically required/needed at the cost. Start with a single license to train and ensure organizational ROI hurdles are met/attainable. We have experienced conflicts with the data in the data product add-on where data conflicts with third-party sources for auditing. alteryx explained these were timing/methodology issues. We use limited parts of the data plan that make it hard to justify the cost.
Alteryx: Data Preparation and Blending Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Alteryx is a great data blending and data prep tool. It allows you to take data from different forms and very easily combine them into something that you can work with. This is all done through a workflow process with drag and drop tools. This makes it easy for the less technical people to transform their data without a steep learning curve. I also really like that there is a tool that turns all of the data blending that you have done into a tableau file that can be automatically imported into tableau and used there.
What do you dislike about the product?
While touted as having great analytic capabilities, I found that Alteryx did not stand up to competitors like Tableau. The analytics capabilities that Alterx does have are a bit clunky and do not present a final product in a great way.
It is definitely more of a data prep/blend tool than an analytics tool, which I thought was not represented in the best way in its advertising.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have the need to access data that is in many different forms. From excel files to csv files, I have been having to manually add data to a master database file, all of this is very labor intensive. With Alteryx I can decide what data entries I need as well as delete duplicates, replace words and add columns, all automatically.
This tool saves me a lot of time, was easy to learn and reduces the redundancy of the work I do.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great data prep and blending tool, however it is not ideal to be used for analytic purposes. Although it integrates fantastically with Tableau.
