Pros
"Alteryx has a good UI. We use it frequently in our projects. The tool comes with drag-and-drop features and is easy to understand for business needs. One situation where Alteryx's advanced analytics capabilities were particularly beneficial for us was during a forecasting project. Unlike Python, which requires coding, Alteryx simplifies the process significantly. With Alteryx, users can adjust parameters within the user interface without writing any code.""The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great.""I think the most valuable feature for Alteryx in a health facility is that it permits cleaning, organizing, and merging of databases such as Excel and Access.""The most valuable feature for me is integration.""The drag-and-drop functionality, the ready-to-use analytics module, and the ability to track my data pipelines visually are the solution's most valuable features.""Alteryx is so advanced. It's just drag and drop.""Alteryx is a simple and easy-to-use solution.""My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."

"It seems quite performant in analyzing multi-dimensional information sets and presenting them.""I think the most valuable Pyramid Analytics feature is the solution's ability to drill down and dice in the loop. I think it is better than InExcel or Power BI.""The on-premise version has quite good scalability.""The most valuable feature of Pyramid Analytics, outshining even top-tier platforms like Power BI, is its robust support for DAX queries.""It offers a wide range of analytics options including statistics and visualizations, as well as prediction capabilities, allowing users to make forecasts based on the latest data.""Pyramid has a wide level of uses, as it's a complete ETL process and has a good level of connecting to a lot of data sources.""It proved to be a very powerful and useful tool due to its breakdown capabilities, easy reporting features, flexibility in building custom calculations, and the ability to integrate them into reports.""The features I find most valuable are 'Discover,' 'Formulate,' and 'Model.' I use them regularly to build logic and create reports for my job."

Cons
"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability.""The learning curve is long, and there is lack of e-learning; the tool is not user-friendly to a non-technical user.""I think better visualization would be helpful to this solution.""I'd like it to be easier to work with PDF.""Alteryx could be improved in the area of analytics and central governance.""The server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server.""A colleague of mind mentioned that the solution should have more options for the visualization of data.""The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."

More Alteryx Cons →

"I find that this is quite a heavy, time-consuming tool for developers.""It would be desirable to have the possibility to generate a data dictionary, detailing the original physical tables, renamed fields, and derived fields.""There is room for improvement in terms of documentation and examples, especially for newcomers like me who are learning both business intelligence and Pyramid.""The general amount of negative comments that I am hearing from my team makes me very wary.""There is room for improvement in terms of the user interface, particularly when it comes to modifying connections between filters and visual components in a dashboard.""I think the graphic number of charts and components could be higher, at least comparable to Brain Power BI.""Even though the solution has a functionality for every step, it's not so well- defined. That needs to be improved.""Pyramid Analytics could improve by speeding up data refresh, especially for large datasets."
