Alteryx Features, Functionality and Usability
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use and intuitive interface. It makes data ingestion, transformation and wrangling easy for non-technical business people.
The competitors products I have used are intended for IT people and data scientists.

What do you dislike about the product?
Alteryx Designer does not have a built-in scheduler which would be very helpful for workflow orchestration and automation without having to invest into Alteryx Server.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alteryx has solved the problem of data ingesting, wrangling and transformation. We are able to ingest data from multiple sources, transform it and generate actionable, insightful analytics for active decision making. We are definitely more productive and much more automated with Alteryx Designer.
Fast Prototyping & Broad Applications that Scale
What do you like best about the product?
The time to implementation for tools like this Alteryx is so low it can be done in days. The ability to translate complex concepts into actionable insights by more than just the data science team has been invaluable. Once we got Gallery installed the entire orgnaization got behind the tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be amazing to have an online platform to manage the tools. The product suite is robust, but knowledge across how to utilize them together requires prior experience, which can slow down adoption.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can speak the language of any geospatial platform across the MarTech space. Clients are always surprised when we say we can handle whatever they are willing to throw our way.
Great product, helps me function at my best!
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Alteryx is that I am able to organize a workflow to form how I think. Because of that, I am able to work at my optimum. I can also add comments, tool boxes for organization, and colors. These additions can help to walk a different user through my workflow like a story.
What do you dislike about the product?
The toughest thing about Alteryx is probably it's best feature. Because it is so expansive, there is a lot to learn. However, the academy and user discussion portal are best-in-class. Even in designer you can type a question that links to the user discussion portal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps our organization pull data, organize data within our folders, clean and prep data, load data into lakes and warehouses. We also find exceptions to our reporting, create automated reports for regulatory reporting. We have used it to map our customers to branch locations, predict best approaches for customer contact. We parse text and pdf files to remove automation hurdles for accounting as well.
Alteryx, Bridging The Data Gap Between IT And Non-Technical Backgrounds!
What do you like best about the product?
Alteryx allows users of all backgrounds and skill levels to perform data preparation/manipulation that would have historically been done by IT personnel with technical backgrounds. The tool promises self-service analytics and it achieves it by allowing everyone to prepare their own data. It also is an excellent tool to add automation to the many manual processes that exist in all businesses. Finally, with the visual workflow, it allows users to follow a process that someone else built even if they do not provide great documentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the more advanced features, macros, apps, run command tool, etc. take a long time to understand. These aren't required to utilize many of the features that Alteryx has to offer but it does limit some people's ability to truly utilize the tool to its full potential.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Originally, we had data in many locations and databases without a tool that could easily consolidate the different data sources. Alteryx is still used for that purposes but it continues to expand outside of the data specific departments since it can be used in many other areas, especially process automation.
Data science tool, forecasting prediction
What do you like best about the product?
user friendly very good community very responsive
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a little bit expensive and some tools that I used was for additional cost
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
its very fast I can work with huge data and it has very intuitive tools also every question has its answer ready gor you in the community
The best tool in its field for data manipulation and system integration
What do you like best about the product?
No code, easy to use tool which makes it easy for anyone in the data world.The number of man hours saved through automation alone makes purchasing this this a very simple business decision to make.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly cant think of a negative issue with the tool itself. Any time i have had an issue that i have struggled o resolve, i head to the Alteryx Community and have had the majority of my queries answered fixed with an example workflow same day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a business we use far too much excel and there are countless cases of users generating files for 50+ sites by 'hand'. Alteryx has allowed us to move away from all of this and put our focus elsewhere.
Alteryx - ETL of the future
What do you like best about the product?
I really love the interface of application and the easy how to start with Alteryx. People without experience in coding or data analysis easily can create their own workflow and transform data efficiently.
What do you dislike about the product?
Alteryx is low-code/no-code tool so (even we have possibility to use Python or R languages) we have limited options against strictly coding environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alteryx allows to prepare and blend the data. This tool is super helpful when we are trying to transform and combine our data, especially as part of the process before vizualisation.
Alteryx shines into the clouds
What do you like best about the product?
Depth of functionality and the new cloud services coming on line to further expand the product offering make for a very strong play for the future of the software
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the support and ancillary services can be slow to react to customer issues. The license administration manager has previously been clunky but is now much better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are an Alteryx reseller so have hundreds of examples of how Alteryx has positively impacted the working lives and efficiency of our client base as well as creating competitive advantage.
ETL For Masses
What do you like best about the product?
Alteryx is simple enough with its drag-and-drop interface to be picked up quickly. But it is sophisticated enough
to keep me challenged as I learn new Skills. It can use Python and create macros using existing tools that allow for great flexibility.

What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally some bugs need working out. But the release notes keep you updated on what is what, and they are receptive to reports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Alteryx to Prep data for tableau and to create reports. This is instrumental to our reporting on financial information and to respond to standard industry audits. I also blend and prep to create complex automated financial reporting which has saved hundereds of hours of manual work.
Analytics and automation for everyone.
What do you like best about the product?
As a data consultancy firm, Alteryx is at the core of our operations. It's one of the key software solutions we specialize in. Alteryx addresses a multitude of business challenges with remarkable efficiency. Its flexibility, creativity, and low barrier to entry enable our technical team to engage with non-technical staff effectively, without getting bogged down in technical jargon.
The workflows you can create with Alteryx are not only visual and easy to follow, but they also allow you to step through the entire process seamlessly. This visual approach is invaluable for debugging, sharing workflows, and ensuring your work is easily understandable.
For me, the standout feature of Alteryx is the automation. It streamlines processes, saves time, and enhances productivity, making it an indispensable tool in our toolkit.

What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, not much. I do find resizing the panes within designer to be quite frustrating as you have to be precise with your pointer
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation of tasks, predictive analytics, trusted insights.
A recent example where I've used Alteryx:
I built a workflow that uses Alteryx community's RESTAPI. It identifies the challenges/posts made by the technical team I work in. It identifies the current week-to-date and month-to-date for Weekly Challenges completed and uses a custom look-up table for points based on challenge difficulty. It pushes this information out to a sharepoint list and also drops a quick daily reminder with a snapshot of the current weekly challenge leaders for motivation.
