Data preparation that saves time, is reliable, and has the ability to connect to a variety of sources
Alteryx is typically used for data preparation and blending. I have clients who use it for Special Analytics as well as Churn Analytics Everything was manual and repetitive. With Alteryx, instead of spending three hours preparing the reports, it will only take them two minutes because everything…

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

"You get more support with Alteryx, and it's good for non-sophisticated users who can benefit from the support included in the price."
"The solution offers excellent predicting power. The accuracy and confidence have been great."
"Alteryx is a low-code platform, and that's the biggest reason why we chose it."
"The support is very good."
"I like the fact that you can easily blend data from different platforms."
"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."
"The GUI is simple and it integrates with Python."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"​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.​"
"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."
"The features that I find to be the most valuable are the extensibility, the integration, and the ease of integration with multiple platforms."
"The Studio is easy to understand."
"The jobs are visual and this has improved collaboration between colleagues. It’s much easier to understand a visual job than a piece of Java code."
"It’s easy to monitor the processes. Every morning I’ll open the Talend Administration Center to check the status of the process. Within seconds I’m able to see which process ran successfully and which have failed and why they failed."
"The most valuable feature lies in the capability to assign data quality issues to different stakeholders, facilitating the tracking and resolution of defective work."
"Provides a flexible development environment to the coder.​"
 

Cons

"It would be great if Alteryx could take third party tools and incorporate them."
"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."
"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."
"I think sometimes the solution doesn't load properly or takes so much time for the workflows. Though the workflow runs and completes the file in Excel, if you use the same formula, it's a bit slow. Also, the image processing is not so good because I tried to do some image processing and they were like, sometimes they put two to eight. In the document, it was two, but the OCR predicted it as eight."
"I think better visualization would be helpful to this solution."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"It would be nice if they can provide Alteryx with more options for In-DB connectivity. That functionality is there, but it doesn't include all software we are connecting."
"NullPointerExceptions are going to be the death of me and are a big reason for our transition away from Talend. One day, it is fine with a 1000 blank rows, then the next day, it will find one blank cell and it breaks down."
"Needs integrated data governance in terms of dictionaries, glossaries, data lineage, and impact analysis. It also needs operationalization of meta-data."
"The ability to change the code when debugging the JavaScript could be improved."
"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."
"You can't join more than two tables for analysis."
"Heap space issues plague us consistently. We maxed it out and it runs fine, then it doesn’t, then it does."
"They don't have any AI capabilities. Talend DQ is specifically for data quality, which only has data profiling. With Talend DQ, I cannot generate any reports today, so I need an ETL tool. It provides general Excel files, or I have to create some views. If instead of buying a new tool, Talend provides a reporting capability or solution, it would be great. It will reduce the development effort for creating these kinds of reports. We also manage the infrastructure for Talend. From the licensing perspective, for cloud, they only have seat licenses where one person is tied to one license, but for on-premise, they have concurrent licenses. It would be really awesome if they can provide concurrent licenses for the cloud so that if one person is not there, somebody else can use that license. Currently, it is not possible unless a person deactivates his or her license and moves the same seat license to someone else. We are one of the biggest customers in the central zone of the US for Talend, and this is the feedback that we have provided them again and again, but they come back and say that they aren't able to provide concurrent licenses on the cloud. In version 7.3, there is a feature for tokenization and de-tokenization of data. This is the feature that we are looking for. It is useful if somebody wants to see what we have masked and how do we demask it. This feature is not there in version 7.1. There are also a few other capabilities on the cloud, but we don't yet have a big footprint in the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."
"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"We use the free version of the solution. There are enterprise licenses available. It cost approximately $5,000 annually. It is an expensive solution and there are additional features that cost more money."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"The price could be better."
"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."
"Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users."
"It's a subscription-based platform, we renew it every year."
"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."
