alteryx - The Thrill of Solving - Powerful tool to use in Financial service
What do you like best?
The speed of solving, the speed of connecting with various data files. We can simply connect a zip folder and then a excel within the file without unzipping the folder. It works so smooth and way faster then MS Excel.
What do you dislike?
In earlier version, there was no option to connect with dbs file. But now this has been included in current version.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Must try application if you work on big excel data file. Alteryx helps you connect with data quickly and analyze it much speedier than MS Excel. You can play around data and connect with various data sources with simple functions and tools available in Alteryx. I can say it's 100 steps above using EXCEL in terms of handling big data.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Connecting various files, maybe excel or different data type file. Creating a workflow and simply changing data source when needed. We don't need to do calculation everytime as we do in excel.
I use it at PwC for various audit work, with respect to matching and reconciling data.
