An easy-to-use automation solution with satisfying customer support

Sometimes, while getting data from a third-party product, like data sources that are not present in your system, Alteryx works a bit slowly. Even if you have a good configuration and you are pulling data from an SQL server like SAP, then the solution also has a slow work process. It shouldn't be that much slow if you are pulling ten thousand records, it should not take thirty minutes.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Alteryx is quite easy to use, learn, and understand as a product."

"Alteryx Designer's best features are that it's easy to use and performs well."

"I like Alteryx's browser tool because you can view how your data is handled live. There are many other valuable tools like transpose and the crosstab. You can quickly pivot your data, and there are connections throughout the database. It's so easy to create a connection. If you connect to sign apps or a more complex database, the tool contains all the tools you need."

"The product is very stable. The performance is reliable."

"The most valuable features are the integrated properties and integrated connectivity."

"The main valuable aspect is the simplicity of use across all features."

"I have been using Alteryx Designer only for data modeling and data structuring."

"Alteryx Designer is easier to use for machine learning models. However, I am not very good at Python scripts which you will need to make the machine learning scripts."

More Alteryx Designer pros

"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."

"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."

"No dependence on native language and ease of use."

"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."

Cons

"Alteryx Designer's pricing and support could be improved."

"Improving the key-based sign-on process and making it more user-friendly would be a benefit."

"Alteryx could move faster to create a cloud equivalent of the desktop version of Designer."

"For smaller clients with ten to 15 employees, Alteryx can be expensive."

"Alteryx needs to improve its web governance. The gallery you use to filter the data is something else that could use some work. For instance, if you have a report connected to a database and want to filter a specific user, you should be able to suggest a specific region or a particular year. I know that the Alteryx isn't designed for data governance, but that would be great to think about."

"We discontinued using Alteryx's data science studio because it was not very user-friendly."

"Alteryx Designer is not as fast as SSIS and is not good for large datasets. It also needs to improve database procedures. Though it is easy to use, it is limited in terms of technical aspects."

"Alteryx Designer overall should be easier to use."

More Alteryx Designer cons

"Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough."

"Needs: easier automated failure recovery; more, and more intuitive auto-generated/filled-in code for components; easier/more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."

"Its documentation could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Alteryx Designer is a very expensive solution."

"The tool is priced high."

"The product is a bit expensive, it should be looked into."

"Each license is something like $4,000."

"The licenses are expensive, making it difficult to consider acquiring additional licenses to the existing ones."

"It is too expensive for our country. We are a small country, so it is too difficult to sell this solution. With Alteryx Designer, if you want to automate the data and run the flows, you have to pay more money. We were trying to automate the flows, and we found out that people have to pay 600 more for this feature, which makes it even more expensive. We are a partner for Tableau, and we are working with Tableau Prep, which is like a mini Alteryx. In Tableau Prep, you can drag and drop and make new connections with the different data sources. You can make all the connections. You can also publish a source. You don't have to pay more money with Tableau. You pay like $5 per user per month to access it."

"I rate the price of Alteryx Designer as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is extremely expensive, and ten is a highly cheap product."

"I rate Alteryx Designer a six out of ten for pricing."
