What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I've liked working with Alteryx so far.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is totally scalable. Users can work with the data at all levels and determine if you want to scale it. You just have to choose the product model with the larger amount of data.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is very good.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I've worked with other solutions such as Knime, among others, however, in a corporate environment, I've only worked with Alteryx.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very straightforward. You just need to go through the manual. Reading it makes everything easy.

Each deployment is different. Some jobs seem easy, but then the back end is complex. Other times it can be deployed in practically one click. It all depends on the customer requirements.

What other advice do I have?

We're Alteryx partners. We handle various deployment models, depending on the client's needs.

I've worked with other solutions such as Knime, among other tools for data science and data prep. It's great that this solution is just drag and drop and easy.

I'd recommend the solution. I'd rate it 9.5 out of ten.

Advanced solution that checks the quality of my data
Pros and Cons
  • "Alteryx is so advanced. It's just drag and drop."
  • "It would be great if Alteryx could take third party tools and incorporate them."

What is our primary use case?

My company uses Alteryx differently for each of our clients' individual cases.

How has it helped my organization?

It has helped across my organization.

Let's say we have a client that has been mostly using Excel for their data preparation, data casing, etc. By using Alteryx, they now spend most of their time in the data prep and then just go to reporting. It saves a lot of time.

What is most valuable?

I actually like all of their features. But the feature I have found most valuable is the data profiling. I can check the quality of my data and everything else. 

What needs improvement?

Alteryx is very good - I don't see any room for improvement. I can't think of any downside to Alteryx.

I use a lot of third-party tools with Alteryx. It would be great if Alteryx could take third party tools and incorporate them.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Alteryx around two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

In terms of stability, Alteryx is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is scalable. We currently have all of our almost 20 employees using Alteryx with plans to expand.

How are customer service and technical support?

Their technical support is good.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward. Depending on your machine it usually takes less than 20 minutes.

What other advice do I have?

Alteryx is very good. You can do literately anything on Alteryx. Alteryx is so advanced. It's just drag and drop. You don't need to know any coding or other technical stuff to use Alteryx.

On a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is the worst and 10 is the best, I would rate Alteryx a 10. No doubt, a 10.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

It collects data, manipulation and some Geo-spacial mapping.
Pros and Cons
  • "The tools are built-in. You just plug and play, drag and drop, once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
  • "I think better visualization would be helpful to this solution."
  • "It is a little bit pricey."
  • "It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."

What is our primary use case?

It collects data and manipulation and some Geo-spacial mapping.

How has it helped my organization?

It provides opportunities to do some pretty complex tasks easily, without having to worry about the Java. The tools are built-in. You just plug and play, drag and drop, once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy.

What needs improvement?

I think better visualization would be helpful. In terms of data extraction, during the sequel queries of servers as an example, you can structure your sequel query and it's fine, very readable, but once you run it, it crashes into one complex single line, and makes it very difficult. Then you you almost have to go back to management studio, and run it through management studio and put it through restructuring, and it just seems to me that that's not very user friendly.

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a very stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

For our purposes, the scalability is fine. But, I think that scaling it for a big enterprise would probably be an expensive endeavor.

How is customer service and technical support?

I would rate the tech support a 7.5 out of 10.  They do not necessarily provide lots of hands on support themselves, instead they farm it out to partners and forums. 

How was the initial setup?

The learning curve for implementation was a bit steep. You pretty much have to teach yourself as you are setting up the solution. Once you do that, you are OK.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It is a little bit pricey. The desktop version is cheaper, it is on a one year license. And, if you want to do anything on an enterprise name it is quite expensive. The current pricing model may get to be too much in three to four years time.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We also considered DataBricks.

What other advice do I have?

I would advise that you should ask yourself what you need and want, and do a one-month trial.
