Great for Data, Bad for Formatting
What do you like best about the product?
This is easier to show someone how to use than Excel Macros. It also makes it easier to hand over to someone and allow them to make edits. Normally if I write a Macro I am the only one who can edit and if I leave the company or a group it will no longer be editable. With Alteryx I think it is easier for end-users to learn.
What do you dislike about the product?
Alteryx is great at data manipulation however when it comes to formatting it makes things much more difficult. There aren't built in functions that handle formatting well, whether it is changing font, highlighting, shading, font size, etc. I have learned in my career that presentation is extremely important. Being able to auto format data easier would make this tool extremely useful for me. It is the one thing that is making me think of sticking with writing VBA Macros and not using Alteryx as it is more versatile for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation.

Advanced user of 6+ years with 2 certifications under my belt
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is easy to use, navigate through and I love it's search capabilities. It simplifies the learning curve a bit. Compared to other products I think Alteryx shines in these capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it can be a memory hog. Not sure how to fix that, maybe some sort of optimization under the hood. It also needs to ship with the correct Access database Distribution Engine and Oracle InstantClient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's taking mundane, manual tasks with data, simplifying and automating it. I put it out on the server and I no longer have to perform the work for my partners. They can do it themselves.
Mind-blowing ETL tool
What do you like best about the product?
I am using Alteryx form last 6 years. This has made my office work smooth and easy. I have also done Automation through MS excels but it was really frustrating.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need visualisation function as well, add more tool to enhance look of the output. Also workflow processing on tool can be enhanced. Recently Alteryx increased the cost as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are moving all our Excel and MS based automations on Alteryx. Alteryx workflow can be scheduled on server and developed workflow can be utilised by any team members whithout having Alteryx licence
Extremely useful tool for multi server data aggregation
What do you like best about the product?
What I like about Alteryx is that it uses a node based system kind of like KNIMe but more sophisticated. It also allows for us to utilize our own code which a huge benefit for the work that has already been carried out. The most useful aspect for us is the ability to aggregate data from different sources. Orcale, Teradata, SQL Server, large datasets are able to be generated easily and quickly. Sometimes when trying to create datasets when SQL Assistant is lagging or not running at peak performance, I switch to Alteryx and am able to generate my datasets. It is a really good tool for varying levels of data analysis experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not a much to dislike about Alteryx. Perhaps those individuals with very basic and beginner levels of data analysis and data literacy make require more training to use it effectively. Some of the syntax in formulas are different from other coding languages and require some troubleshooting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem that Alteryx solves for me is the ability to aggregate data from different servers and sources into one data set with all required fields for necessary data exploration and analysis.
Alteryx is Powerful
What do you like best about the product?
The drag and drop user interface is great. It makes it really easy to use and the search function works great. You can even pull up tutorials on the application so that you can research a tool before using it
What do you dislike about the product?
The PCXML is confusing. You cant write regular HTML and it will convert it to a weird format so it doesnt display properly. I wish you could also connect to SharePoint Libraries
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alteryx has helped us solve issues with reporting. We use alteryx to automate reporting for our group and saves us so much time. We have been using alteryx for about a year
Alteryx
What do you like best about the product?
Alteryx simplifies and improves a lot of end to end processes for the team I work on. It is easy to use and there's a lot of things within the community to help
What do you dislike about the product?
A couple of features which are limited. The email tool is a great feature but to limit it to 10MB is a BIG downside for many companies who want to attach documents that are sizeable.
Secondly, the server scheduling is limited in the fact it doesn't allow business days to be scheduled and is limited to calendar days. Again a massive drawback for companies

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Straight through processing all contained within Alteryx. The use of a hybrid model where it is part code and part Alteryx works well in some cases
Alteryx is great
What do you like best about the product?
Alteryx helps to create automated workflow which is repeatable and able to load high volume of dataset
What do you dislike about the product?
The loading and processing time is slow and long.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alteryx was used to perform reconciliation and re-perform reports which help to improve audit effectively and efficiency
Alteryx is an essential tool help the automation development
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to collaberate different datasource and it can embed different software for coding and development, and also it connects to tableau server directly.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is license required tool. Not all my peer has license to view the contents.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Alteryx to wrangle data, it helps me prepare the dataset to be the exact table I need before import to tableau.
Alteryx has cut down my manual work by over 80%
What do you like best about the product?
I used to use Excel for all my data analytics and reporting, repeating the same data cleanses and pivots every day. With Alteryx, I can build that process once, drop my data in, click run and I am done. This has cut down my report turnaround times by over 80%, allowing me to spend more time on tasks that matter.
What do you dislike about the product?
At my company, we are not allowed direct database access with Alteryx. I would love it if Alteryx allowed a feature to connect to Tableau Server, so I could pull data directly through the connection instead of pulling down data from Tableau Server and then uploading the csv to Alteryx.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alteryx has cut down report turn around times tremendously through automating data preparation. Additionally, I have been able to use Alteryx along with Sharepoint to create Sharepoint lists teams can complete their work in, and then push that work into Alteryx's email tool to automatically send emails out.
Alteryx is the most user friendly automation tool
What do you like best about the product?
Alteryx is very user friendly because of its workflow, canvas, and drag-drop tools experience. The best thing about it, is that it makes it very easy to teach and learn the tool. Other automation tools, mostly coding ones, are always written codes, while with alteryx you can get to the same desired automation in a more simpler way.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I first started using Alteryx, one of my main complaints was that I couldn't open XLS and XLSB files, it would be good if any files could be used easily. Also, the idea that I can't run the workflow with the input file open is not the best, because sometimes is good to run the workflow with the archive open to compare.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Alteryx is helping to reduce countless hours of manual work, also reducing risks. The way I usually build my workflows is with Analytic Apps, because this way I never need to open the workflow to change my input and outpout files, which makes the process of using Alteryx very smooth and dynamic.
