Senior Systems Analyst at Optum
Useful for ETL process but improvement is needed in the performance of large datasets
Alteryx Designer helps us scale simple projects effectively. The analyst can develop their own ETL processes without much technical skill, reducing the need for developer involvement. The user interface is intuitive and easy to follow, but it struggles with complex datasets and large data. Overall, I'd rate Alteryx Designer as six out of ten.

Pipeline monitoring has improved and visual lineage now provides trusted, anomaly-aware data
There are many ways Dagster Labs can be improved. I believe the UI is very slow and it prevents loading state. Regarding needed improvements, I think there should be very good support available for migration if someone is migrating from a legacy system to Dagster Labs. Maybe that support needs to be better in a way that there should be customer service available for it, with more documentation or GitHub documentation that details what you should do and should not do, including do's and don'ts and how it will be beneficial or not beneficial. Something approach may be helpful during migration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Alteryx Designer is stable."
"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."
"It has great UI."
"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 solution is easy to integrate and user-friendly."
"The main valuable aspect is the simplicity of use across all features."
"Alteryx Designer's best features are that it's easy to use and performs well."
"It helps them to create customized workflows, transform data, perform calculations, and consolidate multiple data sources into a target database."
"Dagster Labs has positively impacted my organization because whenever there is a change in the data, it becomes easy for me to schedule the job, run the changes, and make changes to be imported to the slowly changing dimension tables."
"As a product, it is one of the best I have had the pleasure to work with."
"Dagster Labs has provided a good sense of the data pipeline I have been using, and I have started to trust it even more because I have full confidence in whether it has been updated correctly and if it has failed."
"Dagster Labs has positively impacted our organization by making it much easier to create data pipelines, helping us create new use cases, and allowing us to transform all of the data we have into features, which Dagster Labs has greatly assisted with."
 

Cons

"For smaller clients with ten to 15 employees, Alteryx can be expensive. The server capabilities are costly too. The technical support could also improve by being quicker in response times."
"Alteryx Designer's pricing and support could be improved."
"An improvement for Alteryx Designer would be faster bug fixes and updates."
"Alteryx's data science and machine learning capabilities are where it loses out to DataIQ."
"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 need more documentation."
"It is too expensive for our country, and because of its high price, we can't sell Alteryx Designer in this region."
"Additionally, the billing for Dagster Labs Cloud Plus is somewhat restrictive regarding the number of seats, which often pushes users towards the enterprise plan."
"Dagster Labs is currently providing a Dagster University course, but those offerings are somewhat high-level."
"There are many ways Dagster Labs can be improved. I believe the UI is very slow and it prevents loading state."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the price of Alteryx Designer a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The product is a bit expensive, it should be looked into."
"I rate Alteryx Designer a six out of ten for pricing."
"Alteryx is a little bit expensive compared to competing solutions."
"The pricing is bit expensive."
"The licenses are expensive, making it difficult to consider acquiring additional licenses to the existing ones."
"I rate the product's pricing a two to three out of ten."
"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."
