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.

User-friendly and accessible for anyone with computer knowledge and logical thinking

There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool. Currently, it provides basic reports and the ability to create graphs and dashboards, but I'm looking forward to more robust analytics. The plan is to enhance this feature in 2024, around Q2 or Q3, which would save us from relying on external tools like Power BI for insights.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is its API connections. Its predictive analytics feature has helped us pass some ETL processes to analysts rather than developers."

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

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

"Workflow automation, in general, is valuable."

"Alteryx Designer is stable."

"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."

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

"Alteryx Designer's user interface is great, as it is very user-friendly."

More Alteryx Designer pros

"It is a reliable solution."

"Back in the day, we could only get reports and analyze what happened after the fact, but today now we can generate real-time insights. Transformation Manager feeds your data science projects. We generate models and then give them to the clients, so they can come up with real-time predictions and recommendations in addition to reporting."

"It is among the best, even if not widely known."

Cons

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

"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."

"We need more documentation."

"The conditional join feature should be improved."

"I would like to be able to include small snippets of code inside of the solution. The tool has only drag-and-drop features to make it easy to use, but sometimes I feel like this makes it more complicated."

"When configuring the Logix, the UA could be improved."

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

"Alteryx Designer overall should be easier to use."

More Alteryx Designer cons

"There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool."

"They should build a functional architecture based on queuing."

"Transformation Manager reporting could be better. There are better options for reporting tools these days. We use Microsoft BI sometimes, but Tableau is becoming too expensive. Microsoft BI's visualization features are maturing."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Alteryx is a little bit expensive compared to competing solutions."

"The pricing is bit expensive."

"I rate the product's pricing a two to three out of ten."

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

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

"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."

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

Transformation Manager

Overview

Information not available

Alteryx

Transformation Manager is an integrated development toolkit that is used to build data migration and data integration solutions more efficiently. A metadata-driven code generator, Transformation Manager provides users with the ability to generate lightweight, easy-to-deploy code. It combines a Graphical User Interface with a statement-driven mapping language. The Transformation Manager software derives metadata from the elements, attributes and relationships in a source and target model. Transformation Manager then uses rules specified by Simple Mapping Language (SML), which is specifically designed for implementing data transformation projects, to generate code written in Java.
