Alteryx Designer reviews

It has a simple to use drag and drop interface.

There is so much functionality, it is difficult to know everything.

With Alteryx, you're creating a workflow to alter the data, rather than altering the data directly. Because you're creating the workflow, each of the steps are easily auditable and you can swap out the source files when it changes. This is a huge bonus and time saver as data will tend to change.

Alteryx has a huge learning curve. It's hard to get started without some sort of live tutorial from someone that has been using it for a long time.

Ease of use & speed of use. Very user friendly and intuitive. Processes massive amounts of data very quickly, even on a desktop/laptop.

With the frequent releases, there seems to be more (minor) bugs than in the past when releases weren't so frequent.

This application has no limits as it relates to everything data. With Alteryx, I have been able to automate my data cleansing / loading activites within hours and now runs within SECONDS daily. Truly remarkable product, and quite frankly scares me at times how well it works.

Price for the premium packages. However, the price points are accurate and justified based on what the application can do.

I would argue that this is the number one product for data science. I have change my entire analytics department for the better with using alteryx.

No major complaints on this software, my team loves it!

Easy to use
You can see data as it passes through each tool.
Seamless integration with excel, database other sources
Good reporting options

Lack of customer service
Not able to read excel files with macro enables format correctly

Its ability tto blend multiple data sources and build data pipeline for cleaning and preparation for reporting and analysis.

I fell in love with this software, it is super easy to use and efficient. Nothing to dislike.

This low code/ no code software is intuitive to use and has a large amount of use cases in our company

The expensive cost of a designer license will significantly limit the wide spread use of this tool in our company

It has a lot of out-of-the-box integrations with pretty much any data source you can imagine. It connects flawlessly with on-prem and SaaS sources as well.

The designer UI is very easy to work with. Drag and drop functionality makes it convenient for non-programmer/business users, while scripting support allows for powerful transformations and data processing.

Additionally, data prepping/cleaning, ETL operations, visualization, etc. are super easy to learn and implement. Also, there is a big user community that makes finding help and support easy.

This is an expensive product. Even at the enterprise level, it's a significant cost, so you need to think about the trade-offs before committing to it.

It can be slow sometimes if other users are running resource-intensive tasks. You may have to wait for others to complete their tasks or add more resources, which again can be costly.

Storage options are also lacking especially cloud-based ones. Although, the vendor is considering support for this in the future releases.

There is basically a module for doing everything
Connectivity in both inputs and outputs is simply superb

Output to PDF to export reports might need better capabilities
Documentation of less used features might be insufficient compared to most commonly used features

Friendly graphic interface. The drag and drop workflows are fun to create

The tool is a bit pricy. However it is worth the spending when you need it

Drag and drop interface, the ability to manipulate my data at any point and expand my analytics through spatial and predictive.

The Server solution could be better developed to be ready to integrate with other enterprise wide features (for example, managing users, databases, schedules)

I like how many different ways I can get data into Alteryx, and all the easy manipulation that you can do both with and without SQL coding experience. It is very easy to use, and easy to learn on your own. They also have great customer support, and training videos.

I would like to see the Period Table of Alteryx with more detail, or a decision tree on inputs and outputs and uses to help figure out the best tools to use.

The software allows data prep options for just about any scenario imaginable. If you need to omit rows, add columns,

The layout involves a flowchart and the user assigns cleanup steps based on a flowchart scheme he so desires.

The user with a SQL background will have a better understanding and capabilities of the back-end processes.

Does require a bit of practice to get used to the layout and customizable features. Would recommend taking an online or in person course. There is a learning curve, especially for individuals like myself without a data background.

Very well integrated with other applications to import data. Workflows can be easily automated without much knowledge of coding. Python integration helps to reach newer capabilities.

License is very costly which hinders the use of it by everyone

Between the great customer service, easy UI, online tutorials and sample files, it is a very easy product to use.

There are so many uses it is sometimes hard to know you have the best environment for the software, because different features require different needs.

It provides a no. of tools for data blending, data sorting, data extraction , generating reports and emailing them. Macros in it are easier to use. User Interface is easy to understand.

Nothing much I dislike, the only thing I disliked is that we have to use visual tool to view data every time, that slows the running time of the workflow.

The interface is intuitive and easy to learn. Alteryx has built in capabilities to export to Tableau and Qlik.

Workflows can become rather large and at times slow to run.
