Review on Alteryx tool

What do you like best about Alteryx?

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.

I really like this product because it is saving alot of time by creating views and sending mails everyday. We have used it to generate automatic ppt by just one click.

What do you dislike about Alteryx?

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

One thing I notice is it takes longer time to run the python script when we compare it to outside python tools.

What problems is Alteryx solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps us to create automations and it saves lot of time. We usually spends lot of time to create ppts and one automation helps us to build multiple ppts. we just need to feed the data. We can easily connect to any data source. It also benefits us to send daily, weekly and monthly reports to user by just one click.
