Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The connectors are a very good feature.""The solution has been stable.""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 product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor.""The drag-and-drop features are useful for data scientists who do not like to code because it is already in the system.""The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its performance. It is a powerful solution.""The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness.""Alteryx is so advanced. It's just drag and drop."

More Alteryx Pros →

"The ability to connect to many different data sources is one of the key features. The other would then be the different ways in which that data can be visualized.""The out-of-the-box features are simple and easy to use across the board.""Live Query data on demand, R and Python integration, and the ability to write HTML and JavaScript text areas are all valuable features.""It’s stable and straightforward.""The product's initial setup phase was simple.""It's scalable.""Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG.""The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product."

Cons
"It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx.""It would be great if Alteryx could take third party tools and incorporate them.""They can provide some pre-built tools for predictive analytics instead of us having to build all the tools. It should also be improved from the visualization aspect. It should have better visualization capabilities. There are tools out there that have better visualization capabilities, which Alteryx is lacking currently.""What they're struggling with is it's not as mature as Tableau in the user management area. It was tougher to manage the server part of it right away, especially since the user base has grown.""There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients.""I think better visualization would be helpful to this solution.""Alteryx can improve in data science. They have to have more features and components in the data science aspect because they claim to be a data science tool. However, in order to be more competitive, they have to improve on their data science propositions. Thre are other solutions on the market, such as other players in the market, Data2Go or DataIQ, and Alteryx needs to catch up.""It's a technical product and those that don't have proper training will have to deal with a steep learning curve."

More Alteryx Cons →

"Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated.""We encountered difficulties connecting the special data sets, as the post data set did not contain any shared columns, making it difficult to establish a connection between the data sets.""One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support.""The design of the UI could be improved.""The solution might be generic.""The Text Area feature needs to be more user-friendly. It is a little clunky to use, and it is difficult to consistently format text.""We would like an easier way to get the product to the cloud. Right now, we have the on-premise version, and we would like to find a way to make it easier to migrate it over to the cloud.""The initial setup can be difficult."
