Quick development enables seamless data processing despite occasional support issues

There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason. The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system. Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage. For instance, our licenses were temporarily lost during negotiations when an agreement couldn't be reached.

Stands out for its user-friendly interface, robust community support, competitive pricing and strategic approach to improving data accuracy

Its greatest asset lies in its user-friendly interface, specifically within the Talend Open Studio, known for its ease of use and familiarity among users. The robust community support proves invaluable when encountering challenges, providing a reliable resource for issue resolution. Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users. The most valuable feature lies in the capability to assign data quality issues to different stakeholders, facilitating the tracking and resolution of defective work. This functionality enables a streamlined process for identifying, assigning, and subsequently addressing data quality issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Alteryx designer has been the most useful feature in the solution."

"Alteryx effectively visualizes the flow of data and what happens at each stage. I also like that it's a no-code solution. I also like that you can troubleshoot certain parts of the workflow by putting them in a sandbox."

"There are a lot of good customization capabilities."

"Alteryx offers a cognitive approach to better understand data and purposes."

"The design portion of this tool is easy to use without code, which his something that something we can appreciate."

"The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily."

"Technical support is very helpful."

"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."

More Alteryx pros

"I really like the fact that there are no out-of-the-box solutions regarding the development of jobs. Other vendors may have modules which cleanse your addresses. In Talend, you have the freedom to completely develop the process yourself. This can be tricky, but it also makes it fun."

"tLogRows are also great for finding bad data."

"The file fetch process is impeccable."

"This product speeds up the unit testing and QA for specific test scenarios. As a result, the development output quality can be evaluated and adjusted."

"The solution is customizable."

"With its frequency function, we were able to pick a line of business to be addressed first in one of our conversion projects."

"It is saving a lot of time. Today, we can mask around a hundred million records in 10 minutes. Masking is one of the key pieces that is used heavily by the business and IT folks. Normally in the software development life cycle, before you project anything into the production environment, you have to test it in the test environment to make sure that when the data goes into production, it works, but these are all production files. For example, we acquired a new company or a new state for which we're going to do the entire back office, which is related to claims processing, payments, and member enrollment every year. If you get the production data and process it again, it becomes a compliance issue. Therefore, for any migrations that are happening, we have developed a new capability called pattern masking. This feature looks at those files, masks that information, and processes it through the system. With this, there is no PHI and PII element, and there is data integrity across different systems. It has seamless integration with different databases. It has components using which you can easily integrate with different databases on the cloud or on-premise. It is a drag and drop kind of tool. Instead of writing a lot of Java code or SQL queries, you can just drag and drop things. It is all very pictorial. It easily tells you where the job is failing. So, you can just go quickly and figure out why it is happening and then fix it."

"We are able to get emails from URLs very easily using this function when others fail."

More Talend Data Quality pros

Cons

"When configuring target tables, it is difficult to see the full text when deciding on load operations."

"We can't browse multiple files. When we deploy a solution on a gallery, let's say I have ten different files, and I have to upload them all at once. This is something that's difficult in the gallery. So case by case, I see some downsides, but often we do something alternative."

"The solution just lacks in terms of data visualization. That is why we use Tableau and Qlik in our organization. They help to pick up the slack. If data visualization was added, Alteryx would be a very good tool, and much more complete."

"Alteryx needs to focus on the supply chain aspect since detecting financial figures and data anomalies is currently insufficient."

"Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."

"The product could benefit from improved integration with visualization tools or even the inclusion of built-in visualization features."

"All of the reports are migrated or exported in an Excel file, and most of the time, a business intelligence tool is required. They could have better reporting. The aesthetic could be improved."

"In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI."

More Alteryx cons

"SQL for displaying underlying data in non-match results does not work."

"If the SQL input controls could dynamically determine the schema-based on the SQL alone, it would simplify the steps of having to use a manually created and saved schema for use in the TMap for the Postgres and Redshift components. This would make things even easier."

"When we upgraded to Version 6.4.1, we tried using a GIT repository instead of a SVN repository. After a few incidents where things disappeared and changes were not saved, we decided to go back to a SVN repository."

"In redundancy analysis, the query is failing to bring non-matched records. This query is an internal script. There is no way (that I know of) to fix this syntax error for future runs."

"Finding assistance with issues can be spotty. With Python, there are literally millions of open source answers which are recent and apply to the version that we are using."

"I would say that some of the support elements need improvement."

"Heap space issues plague us consistently. We maxed it out and it runs fine, then it doesn’t, then it does."

"There are too many functions which could be streamlined."

More Talend Data Quality cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."

"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."

"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."

"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."

"Its price should be lower. The key thing that we see is that talking about ROI is an important element at the time of purchase. Cost becomes a factor in every discussion. Justifying the ROI for these kinds of workflows is always a challenge, and the only way to counter the challenge is by addressing the pricing."

"It is $4,000 a year, so it is cheap versus other solutions. It also accomplishes three times the volume on the job in the same time (as the other solutions)."

"I rate the solution's pricing as a ten, as it is highly priced."

"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."

More Alteryx pricing and cost advice

"We did not purchase a separate license for DQ. It is part of our data platform suite, and I believe it is well-priced."

"It is cheaper than Informatica. Talend Data Quality costs somewhere between $10,000 to $12,000 per year for a seat license. It would cost around $20,000 per year for a concurrent license. It is the same for the whole big data solution, which comes with Talend DI, Talend DQ, and TDM."

"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."

"It's a subscription-based platform, we renew it every year."

"Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users."
