Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently use Alteryx to process incoming leads efficiently. What would have taken hours now takes minutes! A lot of the tedious steps that we used to do was problematic because it was prone to human errors. Now with the tool in place, it's just a matter of connecting the right files with the right Alteryx jobs.

Pros

Near instant processing
User friendly UI to create ad-hob jobs
Great user community for assistance

Cons

Online version
Compatibility with Apple products
Perhaps an App that can be used on-the-go

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In my organization, we use Alteryx to solve many different business challenges. I’ve used to build reports for SOX testing, to support internal audit projects with analytics (for faster and more accurate testing), I’ve used it to retrieve data from SAP easily, and many more. Alteryx is really a very versatile tool and has a user friendly interface, which makes our work a lot easier. What I also like about Alteryx is how you can user the server the store your workflows, schedule time for it to run automatically, all those details are really important for me because they make my daily work routine much more efficient.

Pros

Alteryx has a user friendly interface, low code, which makes it easier for those who are not used to programming to use it.
Alteryx has basically all the tools necessary for data analysis, data science, even data engineering, so I don’t have to use other applications for this, everything is centralized on Alteryx.
Alteryx is fast, so even if you have a big workflow with lots of big data to be processed, Alteryx has the right tools to make it faster and process in-database, which is great.

Cons

I actually only have one point of improvement: I would like to be able to browse my dataset without having to run the workflow every time I add a new step.

Return on Investment

Alteryx helped save Internal Auditors time by doing analysis they would do manually and take hours. Saving time is saving money. I used Alteryx to find matching records between two datasets so the Auditors would only analyze the records that didn’t match - if they were to do it manually, it would take hours - for me using Alteryx, it took 10 minutes.
Alteryx was also great to bring closer the data workers at the company - using the same tool we were able to have a better connection, better insights and it saved a lot of our time by avoiding us to have to work it multiple tools and depend on other people who had access to these tools to help us.
I also build a report using Alteryx that avoided having the company pay for a third party tool that would cost over $100,000/year. Using Alteryx I treated the data and connected it to Power BI.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

we use Alteryx as an ETL in early stage data science product. The main product use case of this is to automate or Excel file transformations easily as well as to run data science functions like time, analysis, and regression in smaller models before building proper models for them. The scope is still limited for it, and it being used periodically by the team, but is highly useful for them.

Pros

ETL
Data Science
Modelling
Usability
Processing

Cons

More functions
More education
More Data science testing
Cheaper pricing

Return on Investment

Reduced hours
Decreased churn
Higher delivery time
