"Alteryx Turned Me From Data Janitor to Data Strategist"
What do you like best about Alteryx?

The drag-and-drop workflow is intuitive and powerful. I love how it bridges the gap between technical and non-technical users. I’ve trained non-coders in my team to automate complex ETL jobs within a few weeks. The ability to integrate with R and Python is a bonus when I need to go beyond built-in tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alteryx?

1. Licensing Cost

Alteryx is powerful—but expensive. The Designer license alone is costly, and scaling to server or enterprise deployment can get prohibitive for smaller teams or startups. If your company isn’t all-in on automation, ROI might be hard to justify.

2. Performance Bottlenecks on Large Data Sets

While it’s great for mid-sized data, performance suffers when processing large datasets (especially joins and sorts). Unlike SQL engines or Spark-based tools, Alteryx loads most data into memory, so it can choke without enough RAM.

3. Clunky Version Control

No native Git integration or real versioning capabilities. Workflow collaboration feels old-school—like emailing .yxmd files back and forth. In an era of agile and CI/CD, this is a big gap.

4.Workflow Sprawl and Visual Clutter

Complex workflows can quickly become visually messy. Without discipline in using containers, color coding, and annotations, it’s easy to create a “spaghetti flow” that’s hard to debug or maintain.

5. Limited Data Visualization

Alteryx is not a visualization tool. Its built-in charting tools are minimal and not meant for dashboards. You still need to pass data to Tableau, Power BI, or similar platforms for rich visualization.

6.Steep Learning Curve for Advanced Features

The basics are easy, but building macros, using the SDK, or working with spatial and predictive tools has a significant learning curve. Documentation is decent, but sometimes not detailed enough for advanced use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"New age automation made easy"
What do you like best about Alteryx?

The tools on alteryx are very simple and straightforward. The names and the designs are very user friendly. The UI can be navigated very easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alteryx?

Workflows can take longer time to run in case of larger files. Alteryx does not support notepad and word files as input files so you'll have to change the file format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Data Workflow Automation Using Alteryx"
What do you like best about Alteryx?

What I appreciate most about Alteryx is its ability to simplify complex data processes through a no-code, drag-and-drop interface. It allows me to quickly blend, clean, and analyse data from multiple sources without relying heavily on scripting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alteryx?

While Alteryx is powerful and user-friendly, one drawback is its high licensing cost, which can be a barrier for smaller teams or organizations. Additionally, as workflows grow in complexity, performance can sometimes lag—especially with large datasets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Alteryx - Excellent for EDA purposes"
What do you like best about Alteryx?

It is one of the most user-friendly tool where you don't need to write complex queries and the drag and drop options can be used to explore and manipulate the data. Also, it is very easy to connect this to different databases, spreadsheets and cloud systems - This makes the overall process implementation easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alteryx?

The tool is costly for small enterprise needs which makes it difficult to get access to. Also, the tool has limited visualization features and the customer support team is not super responsive with the queries Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful data analytics tool with seamless automation"
What do you like best about Alteryx?

At my company we deal with massive amount of sales and customer data across different regions. We used Alteryx to automate our weekly sales reporting process. Previously, we used Excel to do this process manually. Due to Alteryx’s easy drag-and-drop interface, even non-technical users could build workflows without writing code. Once our team set up the workflow, it could run on schedule without any manual intervention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alteryx?

We faced a minor issue while integrating Alteryx with our internal SQL database. To resolve our issue, we connected with their customer support team and they provided a clear guidance on resolving driver compatibility issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Versatile tool for ETL and predictive analytics"
What do you like best about Alteryx?

We uses Alteryx to analyse historical sales data, supplier lead times and seasonal trends for our supply chain teams to improve demand planning. Alteryx’s predictive analytics tool helped us to forecast inventory demand without needing an external software. We also schedule the process to run daily using automated work flow execution, to ensure our team always had up-to-date stock predictions. By automating this workflow, we reduced stockouts by 15% and overstocking by 10%, helping the company save on operational costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alteryx?

Handling millions of real time transactions sometime causes workflow slowdown which often requires manual optimisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful ETL and data science tool with strong features."
What do you like best about Alteryx?

Our goal was to create a unified report for tracking ad spend vs conversions across different channels. We used Alteryx to consolidate campaign performance data from multiple platforms. Alteryx's build-in connectors for SQL, Excel and cloud databases helped us in streamlining our work flow. No need to know complex coding as it's drag and drop interface could easily manipulate data easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alteryx?

Due to a steep learning curve, few of our team members found it hard to grasp the logic behind workflow dependencies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for data blending and automation, But expensive"
What do you like best about Alteryx?

Our HR analytics team used Alteryx to automate employee attrition analysis. We had data spread across payroll and servey feedback, and before Alteryx our team manually compiled report in Excel, which was error prone and took days.I like its data blending capability from multiple sources as it combines structured and unstructured data seamlessly. Also it uses prebuild regression models to predict employee churn, without requiring advanced coding skill. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alteryx?

Alteryx works well for batch processing but does not support streaming data in real time.Also, connecting to social media APIs required custom scripting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest it's a good product. It offer different and unique type of interface but that's not a point to be dislike. I loved the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Alteryx is an amazing tool which we can use to automate the excel solutions. It can send out an email to users by attaching the specific excel or pdf or any other format.

Though this tool user friendly but I felt bit difficult when we dealing with complex workflow. It's bit expensive.
