Alteryx Designerのレビュー

Alteryx is like SAS but WAYYY Better!

製品を使ってみた感想： Overall, Alteryx Designer is an excellent piece of software. Very well-designed! Previously, I had used SAS Enterprise Guide for similar data cleansing/ETL processing and that software was a complete trainwreck. It was very clunky in every way and ran very unreliably. But Alteryx has taken the same concept of building out data processes, step by step, visually (which makes it very easy to tweak later on), only they have all of the best infrastructure to support reliable runtimes, etc. Using Alteryx Designer is a breeze and I could not be more satisfied with this software solution!

良いポイント:

I love how simple it is to cleanse data in Alteryx. You can build linear workflows using their myriad of icons. I love how each icon has a built-in tutorial example that will show you how to use the function. I also really love how you someone with limited SQL knowledge (my colleagues) could use Alteryx to import and refine data to get the exact results they desire. It really is a very intuitive software--well-documented. Oh, and their support is FANTASTIC! I received an email offer to work with an expert from the company and was immediately paired up with a few company trainers who offered their own customized expertise for the specific problems I was working to try to solve. The online portal is excellent as well; there's a whole community ready and willing to assist and help you get better at using Alteryx. Very impressive software.

改善してほしい点:

The parts I found most difficult to use were the neural networking/forecasting & macro/automation widgets & tools. The forecasting/neural networking wasn't very straightforward and seemed to really be more of an art than a science. I would have expected there to be more tutorials on how to effectively use these tools, but I think you would need to have a degree in these arts to really master them. We are probably still too early into this new science. The macro & automation functions really blew my mind and I never learned how to use them--for example, to loop through processes. I would have liked to, but I just didn't have the patience to figure it out on my own and it wasn't high enough of a priority.

The data software that can do anything

製品を使ってみた感想： Really powerful and robust software. I'm sure it has competitors or peers, but I'm not familiar with them. I've found a host of benefits from using Alteryx to automate repetitive, time-intensive tasks that would typically be done in Excel, as well as analysis that Excel was never built to handle

良いポイント:

Alteryx is incredibly powerful. I used it on a daily basis for 3~ years, and I still only scratched the surface of its total functionality. Its GUI is beyond easy to use because it's so intuitive. Alteryx is a great solution for handling the tasks Excel was never built for.

改善してほしい点:

Contacting customer support is hard; the software's very expensive, but you have to pay extra to talk to someone on the phone.

Easy to use Data Software

製品を使ってみた感想： Overall i’m happy with Alteryx, except for my manager, who has to pay enormous license fee. For that reason we will be switching to other product in Microsoft suite.

良いポイント:

It’s easy to use, even for people who don’t understand much in coding. All the elements in data preparation and cleaning are seen visually in icon format, which makes overall process picture easy to understand.

改善してほしい点:

When process is too complicated, visual map might be a bit overwhelming, with so many steps/icons. Especially if you are looking at the workflow that was built by someone else.

We started using Alteryx in a pilot project in November 2017, which resulted in immediate success

製品を使ってみた感想： Massive time saving on Analytical function as well as improvement in accuracy with data from disparate data sources

良いポイント:

Ease of implementation, fantastic product support. Great assistance from Altyrex - committed resources at no cost to help implement, train etc. A lot of willingness to help us 'prove' the business case - i.e. make a success of the pilot project. Workshops ran in business helped getting a number of other business functions exposed and on board in support of the product. Willingness to negotiate on price as well as providing trial licences to other functions for a period of time to enable usage uptake. Willingness to understand business problem assisted greatly in successful deployment. Ease of deployment in 'non-analytics' environment was a big enabler. What is great is that it is process flow based and no extensive coding experience is required. Now busy with further business case projects in other parts of the business.

改善してほしい点:

The cost initially seems exorbitant - especially as there are alternatives such as KNIME & Rapid Miner. Value delivered however overcame this barrier.

Alteryx is all you need to advance BI

製品を使ってみた感想： I can't really discuss use cases due to proprietary information, but let me tell you- Alteryx elevates your entire organization and is a extremely versatile product to add to an analysts toolkit.

良いポイント:

Alteryx is an incredibly easy to use tool that creates and automates data workflows with a click and drag toolbox. Passed R, Python and JSON code through the workflow so you can get technical tasks done without a developer.

改善してほしい点:

Alteryx support could be a bit better in terms of follow up with very specific and technical questions. However, the community is a great resource to get answers to high level questions!

Alteryx simplifies and Enhances Data Preparation

製品を使ってみた感想： I've loved working with Alteryx. After just 4 months of using the software, I have managed to automate over 20 daily or weekly processes that used to take all my time. I now have more time to create meaningful reports that can help management make the decisions that will keep our company moving forward.

良いポイント:

Alteryx allows you to walk through your data preparation step by step to ensure that everything is following the exact process of orders that you want.

改善してほしい点:

Occasionally, Alteryx will stop processing a workflow because of a minor error. Frequently, that minor error has a handful of different solutions, forcing you to try each solution one by one. After some experience you learn what things to look for, but when just starting out, it's a nuisance.

Automating Workflows

製品を使ってみた感想： Helps to increase efficiency and saves money for the company.

良いポイント:

Very useful to automate manual workflows with repetitive tasks. Python Integration helps to ease out the process. Saves a lot of cost. Integration with other servers and applications is top notch.

改善してほしい点:

Costly license limits the use. Requires training for getting used to it.

The future of ETL is here. No coding needed

製品を使ってみた感想： The possibilities are endless and the future is bright

良いポイント:

The ease of use to prep, blend, transform, wrangle, etc is awesome. The learning curve is not that challenging. This is the future of development. There are a lot of connectors inherently built in.

改善してほしい点:

Some of the connectors can be finicky. Support can be a little slow to respond

This is a great data analysis and prediction software.

良いポイント:

I love the easy interface and the various options for different data analysis and prediction techniques. The flexibility is top-notch.

改善してほしい点:

You might have to pay extra for extra features. It's not a big deal but it's not entirely convenient.

Used in Data Analytics

製品を使ってみた感想： Alteryx has allowed for faster processing of large data sets, and has helped to mitigate issues that arise during the data preparation process.

良いポイント:

This software greatly simplifies the process of dealing with large data sets, taking tasks that previously might require knowledge of SQL, Hadoop, and other database items, and allowing you to do it all in an intuitive manner within the Alteryx package.

改善してほしい点:

Software sometimes runs slowly - mostly due to the size of the data sets, but also potentially due to insufficient optimizations for lower level calculations. Also expensive compared to competitors.

Great tool!

製品を使ってみた感想： Great tool but hard to get broader adoption with high cost

良いポイント:

Easy to use and understand the drag and drop flow layout is really nice

改善してほしい点:

The cost of this software is prohibitive for using more broadly

Data Management Solution

製品を使ってみた感想： We have automated report generation with Alteryx and this has enhanced the efficiency of the project. Next, we have ingested data from multiple sources with ease to create workflows. Also, we have used other tools such as tableau with alteryx for data analysis. On top of these, we have used the no-code capability to perform machine learning and intelligent data analysis to enable businesses to make better decisions.

良いポイント:

Multiple data sources support - A plethora of data sources are supported making the tool very versatile Analysis - Data preparation, blending, analysing of different types of files is possible Intuitive interface workflow - The workflow interface is quite convenient to use No code required - QUite simple working without any code Transformation functionalities - data cleansing, filtering, data ingestion, standardisation possible Customization - macros

改善してほしい点:

Interactive dashboard sharing - there should be a convenient method to share the reports with users outside the development environment, or with new clients Workflow scheduling functionality improvement

Alteryx designer is good Desktop tool

製品を使ってみた感想： Alteryx is good for desktop users and Workflow is good.

良いポイント:

Alteryx execution of Workflows. Alteryx recording and execute feature

改善してほしい点:

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

A good tool for automating complicated analytics pipelines

製品を使ってみた感想： Alteryx is a good tool and well fits in our need of clinical data management and analytics pipeline optimization. There are rooms for improvement in terms of stability in desktop application.

良いポイント:

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.

改善してほしい点:

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.

Data preparation made easy with alteryx

良いポイント:

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

改善してほしい点:

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

Pretty good data analytics software

製品を使ってみた感想： Business problems like considation, analytics, dashboard and reporting can be made very convenient

良いポイント:

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

改善してほしい点:

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

Good tool for making pipeline with multiple source

製品を使ってみた感想： Able to build a robust pipeline for multiple features involving Data Analytics, AI-based solutions to data visualization dashboard

良いポイント:

Easiness to make a pipeline with a variety of data sources. The data source was from a text file to a cloud database. Also it has good integration with python, which enable to writing the script to filter data very quickly and easily

改善してほしい点:

The cost is on very high side. It would be good if its cost can be reduced

Simple and easy to use data prep, data processing and ETL tool with intuitive drag and drop visuals

良いポイント:

- Great for data prep and processing. Very light weight ETL tool. - Ability to enhance the data by applying statistical models, available public data, etc. - UI interface is very intuitive with drag and drop components

改善してほしい点:

- Hard to scale (Best use case is for individual projects) - Expensive to use, high license cost

Detail Oriented Results and Reporting

良いポイント:

We utilize these reports in order to track down to really granular levels within our organization. It is so helpful to narrow down what you need or to see wide ranges.

改善してほしい点:

It would be helpful to generate more graphics. Not impossible but a little more difficult.

Fast-working data cleanser and much more!

製品を使ってみた感想： Install was a breeze, design interface was simple to use. Lots of drag and drop and smooth shortcuts for building fast. All the logical, normalization, and mathematical functionality you could want. Easy to change a certain piece of the workflow and quickly see your result. As a designer, you'll want at least some SQL or Access background. There is so much more to the software that I haven't even tried out, can't wait!

良いポイント:

I use this software for manipulating csv files with <10k rows and am very pleased with the flexibility and performance. Designer opens fast, is easy to build with, processes workflows fast and lets you know where your problems are. Very logical and easy to follow for your average data junkie.

改善してほしい点:

Price-per-license is high, but it's really awesome software! Designer is for more for data-minded workers, but the interface is so easy to use that a non-techie could run a workflow with minimal instruction.

Pretty Intuitive to use

良いポイント:

I think once you get the hang of it and learning all the tools that are available, its not that bad to use. I think for people who have less SQL/software engineering skills who want to do ETL, this is a great product. Someone who has a strong software engineering and database background it is hard for us to let go of some of our habits.

改善してほしい点:

chaining/scheduling workflows is not built in there needs to be more support for non MS SQL Server people including oracle, postgres, and redshift.

Makes data prep and predictive analysis a breeze

製品を使ってみた感想： We used to spend a lot of time in Excel and SQL queries trying to get the data right for reporting, plus if there was anything more complex involved such as forecasting or predictive model building to do, we'd have to find an R expert which really slows the process down. Alteryx changed all that and building workflows that preps the data and spits out a clean dataset or report complete with forecasts etc. can all be done without coding and in a visual way that anyone can understand and see what's been done and where leading to the greater confidence the data is right.

良いポイント:

Easy to use interface, extremely flexible for data analysis tasks, self-documenting, very fast on large data sets

改善してほしい点:

Automating workflow is an additional cost

Alteryx benefits

製品を使ってみた感想： I have really enjoyed the benefit from ease of data output, it is much easier to read

良いポイント:

The ease of use in turning data into information, especially from multiple different sources

改善してほしい点:

There is a bit of a learning curve, but with practice and YouTube it because easy to use

I use it daily at my job

良いポイント:

It is easy to use by drag and drop. All different functions can be used to prepare data. Also can analyse data in simple mathmatics.

改善してほしい点:

I have to run the whole workflow when I add one more tool. Sometimes the workflow takes a lot of time.

Easy to use, beautiful interface, documentation in a cinch

製品を使ってみた感想： So much time saved
Easy to share documentation without worrying about syntax, coding and verfication
Trainable to a layman analyst

良いポイント:

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

改善してほしい点:

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