Time-saving workflows have transformed data preparation and predictive analysis for my team
Some of the best features Alteryx offers are its no and low-code capabilities. It delivers massive time-saving and includes spatial and predictive analysis. Alteryx includes built-in tools such as drive time analysis and linear regression, which are much harder to achieve in standard BI tools such as Power BI or Tableau. In addition to these features, Alteryx provides built-in spatial tools that can calculate drive time and location-based insights with minimal effort through drag-and-drop spatial tools, low complex coding, faster, and more accurate results. Linear regression predicts sales based on marketing spend, estimates costs based on usage, and identifies trends in historical data. Alteryx has positively impacted my organization by saving time, improving accuracy, and enabling better decision-making. Using Alteryx, complex tasks such as data cleansing, joining datasets, drive time analysis, and linear regression can be done much faster compared to manual Excel or SQL work. This reduces dependency on manual effort and lowers the risk of human error. Drive time analysis helps my organization make better location-based decisions, such as identifying optimal service areas or improving customer reach.

Visual workflows have streamlined healthcare analytics and have reduced reporting time significantly
In terms of improvement, I cannot comment on the LLMs or the agentic view as I have not used them yet. However, I feel that better documentation is necessary. Dataiku should establish a stronger community since this is proprietary software, where users can share knowledge. Although they have some community interaction, it is often challenging to find assistance when stuck. For example, when I was new to Dataiku and trying to use an external optimization tool such as CPLEX, I struggled with resource directory linking to a project's notebook. Detailed documentation and community discussions could have significantly alleviated these issues for users such as myself.

"The tools have a complete function for doing data."
"It is easy to use and has a huge community that I can rely on for help. Moreover, it is interactive."
"The best thing about RapidMiner is efficiency."
"The GUI capabilities of the solution are excellent. Their Auto ML model provides for even non-coder data scientists to deploy a model."
"I like not having to write all solutions from code. Being able to drag and drop controls, enables me to focus on building the best model, without needing to search for syntax errors or extra libraries."
"The technical support for RapidMiner is fantastic."
"This solution is a great tool for users that are experimenting and is an alternative to doing the coding and everything themselves."
"The design portion of this tool is easy to use without code, which his something that something we can appreciate."
"The scheduling within the solution is excellent."
"The drag and drop and layout is simple to understand, with intuitive names of features."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Alteryx has helped us spend more time identifying results instead of performing analysis manually, helped us in our loading process including scrubbing data and identifying data elements that need to be corrected, and enabled us to understand our data sets a lot better."
"I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use."
"If you are looking for a self-service data analytics tool, Alteryx is a good solution."
"It gives the power back to the end-users."
"Data Science Studio's data science model is very useful."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is one tool that can do everything, and you have the ability to very easily push your design to prediction."
"I believe the return on investment looks positive."
"Technical support is really, really good."
"Dataiku has positively impacted my organization as most of our projects have been migrated to Dataiku, and now people are relying on it as a go-to tool for all our data use cases."
"I like the interface, which is probably my favorite part of the solution; it is really user-friendly, colorful, and I think it is really beautiful and well-designed."
"Data Science Studio's data science model is very useful."
"The solution is quite stable."
 

Cons

"The visual interface could use something like the-drag-and-drop features which other products already support. Some additional features can make RapidMiner a better tool and maybe more competitive."
"Improve the online data services."
"RapidMiner would be improved with the inclusion of more machine learning algorithms for generating time-series forecasting models."
"The price of this solution should be improved."
"In the Mexican or Latin American market, it's kind of pricey."
"I would appreciate improvements in automation and customization options to further streamline processes."
"The server product has been getting updated and continues to be better each release. When I started using RapidMiner, it was solid but not easy to set up and upgrade."
"RapidMiner is not utterly intuitive for beginners."
"I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved."
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality."
"Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage."
"The biggest limitation is that the solution doesn't allow you to do sophisticated things in terms of fiddling with their implementations of machine learning and deep learning components."
"Alteryx is just as complicated as coding, in my opinion."
"This is a proprietary tool and maybe the open source part of it could be improved."
"We are hoping that the NLP features will also support Chinese characters."
"I mostly used it for flat files, but I have many colleagues who reported that to tune a query, in case they want to directly connect to the database, there is no option to optimize the performance of the query, as we have in Informatica."
"I find that it is a little slow during use. It takes more time than I would expect for operations to complete."
"One area for improvement is the need for more capabilities similar to those provided by NVIDIA for parallel machine learning training. We still encounter some integration issues."
"The license is very expensive. It would be great to have an intermediate license for basic treatments that do not require extensive experience."
"There were stability issues: 1) SQL operations, such as partitioning, had bugs and showed wrong results. 2) Due to server downtime, scheduled processes used to fail. 3) Access to project folders was compromised (privacy issue) with wrong people getting access to confidential project folders."
"I think it would help if Data Science Studio added some more features and improved the data model."
"I think it would help if Data Science Studio added some more features and improved the data model."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see deep learning better integrated into the tool and not simply an extension or plugin."
"I need to stress upon the part about customer support because there are some product issues we have identified and raised with customer support, but sometimes the response is delayed, so that can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm not fully aware of RapidMiner's price because we had licenses provided, but from my analysis, it's moderately priced, not too high or too low. It's worth the investment."
"The client only has to pay the licensing costs. There are not any maintenance or hidden costs in addition to the license."
"Although we don't pay licensing fees because it is being used within the university, my understanding is that the cost is between $5,000 and $10,000 USD per year."
"I used an educational license for this solution, which is available free of charge."
"For the university, the cost of the solution is free for the students and teachers."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"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."
"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"While it offers extensive features, including predictive analytics, for those who mainly use it for data preparation and blending, the cost can be prohibitive."
"Pricing is pretty steep. Dataiku is also not that cheap."
"The annual licensing fees are approximately €20 ($22 USD) per key for the basic version and €40 ($44 USD) per key for the version with everything."
