Automated complex ETL workflows have reduced coding effort and improved data integration
One area for improvement is in integrating mostly the data which comes from telemetry, where I can see some sort of improvisations can be made. It is a massive amount of unstructured data, and I believe Alteryx is able to handle it, but there can be some improvements. Suggestions for improvements in Alteryx include areas for increasing efficiency, particularly in processing telemetry data, which involves dealing with large volumes of unstructured data. Additionally, I believe when we use filter tools immediately after the input source, there can be slowdowns when handling massive data. The user experience of Alteryx is generally good, but there are areas for improvement from a user's perspective, particularly regarding user interface enhancements. I think there's always room for improvement, but otherwise, Alteryx has been a great tool for me. We haven't experienced significant disruptions while increasing data volumes, though I sense there could be performance issues as data grows exponentially. This is an area that could use improvement in Alteryx.

A stable product that is easy to deploy and can be used for structured and unstructured data mining
We use the solution for predictive analytics to do structured and unstructured data mining I like the way the product visually shows the data pipeline. The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies. I have been using the solution for 20 years. The product is very…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The connection feature is quite useful to our organization; we connect with Microsoft SQL databases, Oracle databases, SharePoint lists, and Outlook email servers, and the stability and scalability have been very good with no issues."
"You don't have to be tech-savvy or technical to use the solution."
"It is a very nice solution; we love it and consider it the best solution among similar kinds of solutions."
"Alteryx is quite easy to use, learn, and understand as a product."
"The product offers very good analytics."
"Alteryx Designer is easier to use for machine learning models. However, I am not very good at Python scripts which you will need to make the machine learning scripts."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"After the implementation of Alteryx, the turnaround time has been reduced to 10 minutes or maybe in some cases, a couple of minutes."
"The data processing of the solution is very good, easy to use, both for enterprise and personal use."
"I like the way the product visually shows the data pipeline."
"The most valuable feature is the decision tree creation."
"It enables statistical modeling of data using Base SAS (another product from the same vendor) as the backbone."
"The technical support is very good."
"I found the ease of use of the solution the most valuable."
"The solution is able to handle quite large amounts of data beautifully."
"Most of the features, especially on the data analysis tool pack, are really good. The way they do clustering and output is great. You can do fairly elaborate outputs. The results, the ensembles, all of these, are fantastic."
 

Cons

"We are hoping that the NLP features will also support Chinese characters."
"There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients."
"For smaller clients with ten to 15 employees, Alteryx can be expensive."
"The major concern in Alteryx Designer stems from the high costs attached to the product."
"It is expensive to buy additional licensing, and it is time and resource consuming to install onto our own hardware — which itself requires maintenance and administrative attention."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price of the Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"The solution could work on the BI side of the tool to make it a bit better."
"It should have Linux support. It currently supports only Windows. It does not support any other platform. Its price should also be lower. Their US partner management program is actually unresponsive. One of the reasons why we don't have a formalized partnership plan with them is because their partner management team is atrociously unresponsive. This is something that they need to change."
"The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies."
"The solution needs an easier interface for the user. The user experience isn't so easy for our clients."
"The solution is quite expensive. The pricing is too high."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The solution is very stable, but we do have some problems with discrepancies involving SAS not matching with the latest Java versions. It's not stable in cases where SAS tries to run on a different version because SAS doesn't connect with the latest Java update. Once a month we need to restart systems from scratch."
"The stability isn't perfect. We have issues with accuracy in some AI forecasting areas, and the accuracy is not as good as the clients need it to be."
"Plus it is prohibitively expensive and is not available with perpetual licensing."
"The user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Alteryx Designer is an expensive solution."
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else."
"Alteryx Designer is an expensive solution."
"Alteryx Designer is a very expensive solution."
"The pricing is bit expensive."
"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"The solution must improve its licensing models."
"The solution is expensive for an individual, but for an enterprise/institution (purchasing bulk licenses), it is not a high price for the use that will come from it."
"This solution is for large corporations because not everybody can afford it."
