Alteryx Designer - Avis

Alteryx est très facile d'utilisation.Le logiciel est assez intuitif pour les débutants et les leçons en ligne aident à monter rapidement en compétence !Je recommande ce logiciel à ceux voulant traiter de grandes bases de données et les transformer.

L'un des inconvénients pourrait être que la compréhension de ce logiciel est assez spécifique. Je ne connais pas d'autres logiciels ressemblant à Alteryx et utilisant le systèmes de bulles afin de tranformer les données.

It very very easy to use for your analysis, you can learn quickly to use it. Also, its is very fast for process big data analysis.

It could be a little expensive and for experience the whole software you have to pay something more.

It does not require coding skills like python i.e, easier to get started with and do basic data analysis in matter of minutes

Once a workflow is created, it cannot be viewed or executed by anyone who does not posses a copy of alteryx software which is expensive to buy just for execution of workflows. However, there is a separate product which is called alteryx server where workflows can be executed free of cost. The biggest problem is that behaviour of workflows on designer and server is different. Many tools do not work on server and there is no way of showing intermediate results on server. As these are two different products, one can't even file a ticket of improvement on designer's customer support. In complex workflows things get even more frustrating when server is unable to do what alteryx workflow suppose to do.

You can do so much with Alteryx! We acquired the software for one specific project but I find myself using it for so many other things, from day to day data work to other large projects. It has great features like fuzzy matching, data normalization, and join capabilities. It is great for working with large data sets that can't be easily managed in excel or access and for allowing multiple data sources to interact with each other.

There is a bit of a learning curve. However, once you understand how it all works its easy. Also there are so many tools and more than one way to achieve the same thing. It can be hard to know how to approach new projects.

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.

1. Drag and drop based UI interface
2. Ability to import data from and export data into variety of data sources
3. Re-usuability of workflows
4. Full feature trial license

1. Lack of (or limited) visualisation capability.
2.machine dependent licensed(it should had license key Linked to email ID, making it easier to port licensed from one system to another)
3. Expensive license

Easy to use UI, just drag and drop tools and start your data modelling.
Geo spatial data for spatial analysis
Blending data from different sources is quite easy.
Create and schedule data models and it will run automatically.

Integration with other tools are less compared to its competitor tools such as Informatica .etc.
Reporting option could be improved.

I have been using Alteryx for past few months and it has made my life so easy when it comes to handling multiple files. You can combine multiple excel files, CSVs, any other files, 100s of MBs in size, and within minutes it carries out the entire ETL process.
1. Ease of use - simple drag and drop
2. Input and outputs - multiple file formats are supported
3. Very easily handle GBs of data

1. A few visualization capabilities can be added to make it more comprehensive tool
2. You have to run the entire workflow again, even if you have made a slight change - having the functionality to run just a piece or small part of the entire workflow will save much more time

It is a very powerful tool with close to limiteless possibilities.The user interface is colorful and user friendly.The very useful community forums are very easily accessible directly from the search function integrated to the tool.

Such a powerful can't be mastered within a few minutes or hours. It requests to be trained by someone who has a good knowledge of the tool. It is not always easy to understand what is going wrong with the "code" that we are creating.There is a lot of information and buttons and the meaning of some of them is not straight-forward.

Alteryx recording and execute feature

Automation testing is very tough with other desktop tools like AutoIt, UIPath and Winappdriver.

Alteryx is a great tool when need of integrating multiple or complicated analytics pipelines in one place and manage them in a systematics manner. It provides a variety of data connections to common relational database product and web resources. It also provides plugins to add other product such as Tableau, etc.

The desktop application used to crash (not responding) in case of loading large sized data. It also gets very slow when moving or drag-dropping objects in the authoring environment.

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.

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

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.

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 ease of use is great. We can teach people how to data analyst very quickly. The functions they continue to add have been great.

We have issues at times with it hanging or shutting down but customer support is quick to respond and resolve issues.

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

This tool's ease of use allows our non-analytical teammates to easily do basic data analysis by themselves, freeing up our analytics team for more technical questions

For those who are unfamiliar with self-serve/point-and-click analytics tools, the software can be a little overwhelming for the first few hours

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.
