Advanced decision trees and seamless data pattern analysis transform data preparation
One of the most valuable features of Altair Knowledge Studio is its decision trees, which are quite advanced and popular compared to other tools. The Segment ( /products/segment-reviews ) Viewer is another unique feature that provides a comprehensive view of data patterns and helps identify anomalies before creating decision trees. Additionally, the ability to export code in the language of SAS is valuable, and the tool's drag-and-drop functionality makes it accessible to business users without a coding background.
Theresa McLaughlin - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of Altair Knowledge Studio is its decision trees, which are quite advanced and popular compared to other tools."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its unlimited handling capabilities."
"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."
"Automation is the most valuable aspect for us. The ability to wrap business logic around the data is very helpful."
"It has everything that one needs. Whatever you want to do with the data can be done with Alteryx."
"There are a lot of good customization capabilities."
"Alteryx has helped us spend more time identifying results instead of performing analysis manually. It has helped us in our loading process, including scrubbing data and identifying data elements that need to be corrected. It enables us to understand our data sets a lot better."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its stand-alone version that we do not have to download dependencies for loads. Additionally, the scan is useful for beginners."
"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial if Altair Knowledge Studio could offer a more unified platform that includes data preparation, predictive modeling, and model exportation."
"There are a few hiccups with specific data sets and languages or formats that the data comes in. That may be a minor problem, but we can work through it. We had some issues looking at XML format in added data, but it wasn't significant."
"There's a big jump in terms of pricing between license tiers. I'm not sure I understand why the price jumps are so high."
"The software is not fully optimized."
"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."
"What they're struggling with is it's not as mature as Tableau in the user management area. It was tougher to manage the server part of it right away, especially since the user base has grown."
"In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI."
"Alteryx is just as complicated as coding, in my opinion."
"They should work on its pricing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"In order to have designers, and, if you want to collaborate, you have to buy a server. If the designer is $5,000, and if you want a server, you have to pay $80,000."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"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).​"
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a ten, as it is highly priced."
"It is an expensive solution."
"If one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the tool's price as a one. The tool is expensive."
"While it offers extensive features, including predictive analytics, for those who mainly use it for data preparation and blending, the cost can be prohibitive."
