Alteryx is the ultimate replacement for a data shop. I use Alteryx in place of a data center.
We using Alteryx on-premise using gaming systems for performance.
The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its unlimited handling capabilities.
Mastering Alteryx, a comprehensive solution, takes time. However, once you have gained proficiency with its layout and how to drag, drop, and connect components, it becomes remarkably easy, yet still thorough.
The visualization could improve in Alteryx. It is ideal to use another solution, such as Qlik, to make up for the lack of visualization.
I have been using Alteryx for approximately five years.
The solution is scalable. To scale the solution you will have to add more hardware to the on-premise setup, such as CPUs and memory.
We have received a return on investment using Alteryx after the first job.
The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually.
When I first started using the solution I was working with the state and was given six years of pregnant women and children data and it took 35 minutes to process the data. I tested the same data recently and it took .3 seconds.
Data should be returned within 30 seconds to make to process useful and if the solution does not provide this, then it is not beneficial.
Cloud deployments are not as quick as the on-premise.
I would advise others that they need someone who understands their domain in terms of the field that they are in. They need to have someone to hold their hand for the first ninety days. Once they pass the ninety days they will be set for the future.
I rate Alteryx a ten out of ten.
