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 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.

Automated complex ETL workflows have reduced coding effort and improved data integration
One area for improvement is in integrating mostly the data which comes from telemetry, where I can see some sort of improvisations can be made. It is a massive amount of unstructured data, and I believe Alteryx is able to handle it, but there can be some improvements. Suggestions for improvements in Alteryx include areas for increasing efficiency, particularly in processing telemetry data, which involves dealing with large volumes of unstructured data. Additionally, I believe when we use filter tools immediately after the input source, there can be slowdowns when handling massive data. The user experience of Alteryx is generally good, but there are areas for improvement from a user's perspective, particularly regarding user interface enhancements. I think there's always room for improvement, but otherwise, Alteryx has been a great tool for me. We haven't experienced significant disruptions while increasing data volumes, though I sense there could be performance issues as data grows exponentially. This is an area that could use improvement in Alteryx.

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 solution has excellent drag and drop functionality. There's no need for coding."
"It has everything that one needs. Whatever you want to do with the data can be done with Alteryx."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"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 product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"The solution has a very strong community that is involved in the product. It helps make the usage easier and helps us find answers to our questions."
"It has certainly paid for itself on a per-user basis."
"I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial if Altair Knowledge Studio could offer a more unified platform that includes data preparation, predictive modeling, and model exportation."
"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."
"When configuring target tables, it is difficult to see the full text when deciding on load operations."
"Alteryx can improve the model management and deployment processing of large workloads."
"A feature which allows the user to be able to click on an output (in a file browser) and see the creation of the module would be fantastic."
"The formula we currently use in Alteryx can be automated."
"Alteryx is just as complicated as coding, in my opinion."
"There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for this solution."
"There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else."
"It's very expensive. I'd rate it a four out of ten in terms of the price. It's great for big companies but not for small companies."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
