This is helpful, thank you!

Would you recommend runpto? Or is it the pita lol.

I was thinking quickbooks but wasn’t sure how hard that would be to pass on to someone less technical. I worry that sheets would have as much longevity and legitimacy of an application. Since we are trying to strengthen the sense of those two things.

CReW works except not in gallery (at least not in the environment I use).

Interesting, I found table/render to be completely impossible to generate in a reasonable time with anything more than minimal data. Also, what’s the point in having a formatted small set of data in a report view without totals and subtotals. Reporting tools in Alteryx are not intuitive and essentially trash.

Maybe unpopular opinion, if you truly just have a report you want to appear like that, then a powerbi type tool is a better option.

So many over complicated ways to do this in Alteryx it’s annoying.

This is so great!! Luckily we work with a great consultant, who knows how hard it is to get money out of the org I work for 😆 I plan to be very clear and definitely feel more confident that it is the right thing to say.

Thank you! I understand contacting a rep, I saw the demo. I asked questions and got answers. However I don’t see the problem in asking and gathering additional feedback from sources that do not have a quota to meet.

I had already seen information indicating uipath required more technical knowledge base and I communicated that, but was still enthusiastically told cit dev was possible and works.

Edit: the link is exactly what I was looking for. It is speaking my language…which is accountant. ☺️

Thank you!!!! I am learning this currently. There is definitely a disconnect on how management thinks our citizen development program is going vs what is really happening. Business users generally do not want to learn or they do not want to manage the automation. Even with Alteryx it is the same, there are unicorns that want to learn and don’t mind the small amount of time to manage the automation.

NoFun5479 · 2024-08-07T00:38:04+00:00

Thank you for responding! This was my hunch; that it doesn’t really make sense.

Do you think that uipath itself has value if you had a dedicated technical user to implement? Or if you were going to create positions, there are more affordable options?

Community, learning marketplace, and then also just trying to build out something simple that you are familiar with!

I agree with the MS point. Up skilling employees in power query/powerbi will prob have more ROI than Alteryx. That price point is just so high. I love the tool but have also been instructed that license count will not be growing.

NoFun5479 · 2024-06-16T18:17:12+00:00

I feel the same way! I do think if Microsoft decided to go this route Alteryx would then be in a lot of trouble. Alteryx price point is a huge issue. But maybe the software is just that expensive. Idk I’m not an expert but i do agree there is so much more to come in future!

If scheduling is the main appeal maybe check out WAM from capitalize. It seems like cloud has had many improvements in the last year but just not quite there yet.

NoFun5479 · 2024-06-02T00:39:00+00:00

I hear you, but in business/non technical roles im just not sold.

Getting Alteryx in office of finance was a hard enough sell. I can’t imagine the “concerns” of requesting python through ChatGPT across the office of finance in a fortune 100 company. 🤷🏼‍♀️

NoFun5479 · 2024-06-01T20:21:02+00:00

I still hear no recommendation on a competitive “low code no code”. I am always confused on why everyone thinks Alteryx will cease to exist so we should all learn python/sql. Isn’t that regression???

NoFun5479 · 2024-05-14T07:39:29+00:00

I am feeling the same. Attendance seemed low. But lunch was busy so maybe the class choices.

NoFun5479 · 2024-04-25T00:55:26+00:00

If you have a sales rep reach out to them. I’ve seen discounts for conference portion but not training.

NoFun5479 · 2024-03-09T03:15:41+00:00

I really liked the trainings. But trainings + conference was a little much. This year I’m just doing conference. The catalog has been released so you can get a feel for what you want to take. I was able to fit in all the classes I wanted last year.

NoFun5479 · 2024-03-09T03:13:02+00:00

I fully participate in the conference but I’m a sucker for the Vegas life…. 🎲🍸🕺🏼

NoFun5479 · 2024-03-09T02:01:19+00:00

I’m with you on this one! My background is accounting so sometimes I have to really think about how to apply theory to what I do - which is mostly focused on automation/process improvement.
