Powerful tool for cleansing, formatting, and transforming data – especially unstructured files

When you open a raw Excel file, it can be hard to look at everything in detail. Alteryx makes it much easier to go through the data, summarize it, and use different tools for analysis. So, Alteryx Designer have significantly reduced the time I spend on data analysis tasks. Moreover, the drag-and-drop interface of Alteryx Designer improved our overall workflow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's ability to hold a huge amount of data in its memory is significant."

"One of the things I like about Alteryx Designer is how easy it is to connect numerous data inputs, including API connectors. This helps tremendously in reducing the time required to extract data from systems like SAP that don't have straightforward connectivity options."

"I like Alteryx Designer's drag-and-drop feature, where you drag a component, configure it and quickly run it."

"The solution is easy to integrate and user-friendly."

"It helps them to create customized workflows, transform data, perform calculations, and consolidate multiple data sources into a target database."

"It has great UI."

"We use Alteryx Designer for analytics. It's quite helpful because once we set it up, we don't have to manually update or process data repeatedly. It saves time, especially for financial reporting, which is typically done monthly or quarterly. Once we set it up initially, we only need to make occasional updates if necessary."

"The solution is user-friendly."

More Alteryx Designer pros

"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."

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

Cons

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

"The conditional join feature should be improved."

"Its price can be improved. It is too expensive for our country. Because of its high price, we can't sell Alteryx Designer in this region. We used to be their reseller partner. There is also an additional cost for automating the data and running the flows, which makes it even more expensive. It will be very good if they can let users automate the data for free. Other solutions like Tableau provide this feature for free."

"The only thing is sometimes it can be a bit slow."

"When it comes to the pivoting part, the drill-through option is not there in Alteryx."

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

"Its cost can sometimes be a drawback."

"It is challenging to view the data using Alteryx Designer."

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."

"Its documentation could be improved."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive. It has license fees, which are renewable every year."

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

"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."

"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."

"Alteryx Designer is an expensive solution."
