Relatively New User
What do you like best about the product?
The interface and overall flow and feel of the product is excellent. The ability to abstract processing and to modularize is a useful software development model made more efficient by the clean, modular approach of the software. This lets users leverage prior modules and workflows effectively and somewhat transparently. This is useful in helping new users to train up on the system, helping put the examples into the context of your organization quickly by reviewing workflows and documents created by a few solo "Top Gun" users.
What do you dislike about the product?
The product is quite expensive and would be more useful more broadly if it were less expensive per seat. This model makes it workable as a single seat,tool used by a "Top Gun", but difficult to provide to a more junior resource to become proficient. It is very complex, so it takes some time, even for a Top Gun to become expert. The product is self-evident in some ways, but has a great deal of power and complexity that must be discovered individually. Tutorials and learning modules are good, but could be more applicable to our industry and somewhat specialized use case. I would like to see even more tie-in with Salesforce, marketing analytics, demographics, etc.,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analytics tying into workflows, using for marketing analytics and setting up machine learning solutions. Rapid prototyping. It may be useful as an intermediate layer between the UI and machine learning, R models that we may be using, or tying into Azure Machine Learning, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Explore the trial software, but it is very short-term.(14 days) If possible, see if you can meet with another customer or user that's been using it for some time (> 6 months) to see how it might fit into your organization. The license model makes it difficult to use broadly, but the ability to leverage prior development helps.

Great way to turn anyone with a bit of database experience into a data analyst.
What do you like best about the product?
Alteryx makes it easy to connect multiple kinds of data sources together. CRM data can be joined to spreadsheets, and then uploaded into a postgres database that backs up Tableau.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not so much a dislike, but it lacks server setup features in my opinion. In an analyst role, I'm still dependent upon IT to get me a box or AWS up and running.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation. I can build something once, then make it push button for data refreshes as often as I need. It's also modular, I can build components and recycle them in multiple different work flows.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you've ever been delayed on a project because you're waiting on your dysfunctional IT team to get it together or you know what needs to be done, but you're not sure you have the technical skills to do it, this is the product for you. I do wish the Alteryx server was less expensive. Between that and Tableau Online, you're looking at a large cash outlay every year.
Powerful ETL tool and easy Tableau Integration
What do you like best about the product?
The variety and depth of tools offered, as well as ease of use. Does not require any coding experience to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Slight learning curve to understand all the tools and some of the Statistical R packages aren't always straightforward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Processing vast amounts of data, combined with algorithms for multivariable scoring/ranking. Some of the benefits realized are actually being able to extract data and process it quickly. Easily integrates with SQL Server and Tableau for robust data visualization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For anyone who wants to take control of their data, the sky is the limit. Alteryx is a fantastic tool , but takes some getting used to.
Alteryx, way to go
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to do ETL and how visual the whole process is.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much color in the icons, which makes the interface drab
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is way easier to do ETL, maintenance is easier and curve of learning is smoother with new resources

Great for data blending
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to blend data from multiple data sources with tableau using alteryx is phenomenal. No need for developers anymore.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some things are highly technical and take training but other users to work with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Market sizing

Cut down processing hours
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that we can create workflows for stuff that would take us days in excel that would take us minutes to process and get an output in alteryx. Totally changed the way we do work
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that we have to purchase additional capabilities--geomapping, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Main problem is leveraging technology to streamline processes and work smarter, not harder. Technology is available to make our work easier, so we are leveraging readily available technology, that is also affordable. We have been able to cut so much processing time.
Makes my life easier!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Alteryx is so intuitive. The visual drag and drop tools make building a workflow simple. I love that I can watch the progress as the workflow runs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mapping capabilities are lackluster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Alteryx for spatial-centric data analysis. The most obvious benefit is that Alteryx is a huge efficiency as it can input and output so many different data formats. I'd be lost without Alteryx.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I feel when learning this product it's best to just dive in. It is so intuitive that it's easy to use without training and then seek support on how to create efficiencies.
The most important tool in my toolkit
What do you like best about the product?
Alteryx has so many great aspects it's hard to choose, but at a core it would be the ability to take information from so many different sources and blend them into a single source. But it can also do some of the heavy-lifting on the analytics side and build repeatable processes with ease. It also can help users with some knowledge of stats but without a big programming chops to run some modeling, which is awesome.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reporting is not that beautiful--you probably won't be making decks using Alteryx, but the data will be there for you!
The learning curve can be steep, as well. Be prepared to spend a good 2 weeks learning--but you should see value within the first day of playing around.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our main business problem is that we have a treasure trove of data sitting in a bunch of different sources that we don't know how to get value from--we have Google Analytics data, sales data from Amazon and our POS system, data from our website database... and all are just a little bit different. Using Alteryx, I was able to blend all the sources of data and create processes that update data from all of the sources on a schedule. No more having to go to source X and then source Y to get the information I need--it's all in the hands of the entire organization in a central repository.
Alteryx is also my go-to tool for ad hoc analyses that wouldn't be handled well through a dashboard-type tool... of customers who have purchased in the past 12 months in this market, how many repeat again and spend over $50? Of customers who visited us through paid search, how many also end up purchases in-store? These types of weird, custom asks are a breeze with Alteryx.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have at least 1 or 2 subject experts who will put in plenty of time to learn the software. This isn't something someone can pick up while only using it once or twice every few months.
The best self-service tool to get informed decisions
What do you like best about the product?
Its intuitive workflow environment with the drag&drop tools across data extraction, blending, preparation, transformation and advanced analytics while sharing results among variable tools
What do you dislike about the product?
It only runs on Windows till today, Looking forward for the Mac edition
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Blending data from different sources.
Preparing and cleansing data that took weeks on excel, not takes hours.
You do not need a data scientist to build predictive modeling
