Head of Data Analytics COE at bank islam

Able to hold a huge amount of data in its memory, but it is very expensive

We had challenges with a very complex workflow, and we couldn't find the root cause because it caused an error in the output. We recreated the workflow, and it solved the problem. Alteryx Designer integrated seamlessly with other tools and systems in our workflow. It's not convenient for us to develop any machine learning model using Alteryx Designer. Other data science studio tools are much more advanced than the data science studio tools in Alteryx. We do maintenance on our workflow, but we try to be careful with the upgrades because we don't want any upgrades to impact our production workflows. One or two people are needed to maintain the solution. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

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

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

"It is a very nice solution; we love it and consider it the best solution among similar kinds of solutions."

"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.

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

"It has great UI."

"I mainly use Alteryx Designer for automation purposes."

More Alteryx Designer pros

"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."

"We switched to CloverETL because of its flexibility to connect to various data sources and no dependence on native language and ease of use."

"Familiar, intuitive GUI coming from a Java development background, in-depth, descriptive, and well-laid-out documentation, responsive support through forums directly from Clover staff, a wealth of customizable pre-defined components, descriptive logging for error messages, and ease of install with a light footprint make it very effective to use."

"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."

Cons

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

"Optimizing processing times is one area I would like to see improved in Alteryx Designer. Sometimes, the workflows take an extremely long time to run. There are days when I have had to wait two to three hours for a single process to complete. There needs to be a functionality to split the processes."

"It would be simpler if they provided a component where you could simply enter some parameters and see the results."

"The product could offer more connectors and more databases with support for the in-database function."

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

"Sometimes, while getting data from a third-party product, the solution works slowly."

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

"It is too expensive for our country, and because of its high price, we can't sell Alteryx Designer in this region."

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 or filled-in code for components, and easier or more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."

"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."

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