We performed a comparison between Alteryx Designer and Informatica PowerExchange based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."For my daily analytics needs, the entire Alteryx Designer platform is beneficial."
"The functionality of drag and drop is the most valuable. It is a very user-friendly tool that can be understood easily. My teams also work with other solutions, such as Integration Services, and these solutions are very difficult for people who don't have technical knowledge."
"It has an easy setup process."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx Designer is its ability to select all the inputs and formulas."
"The most valuable features are the integrated properties and integrated connectivity."
"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 product is intuitive and easy to use."
"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."
"It is easy to integrate the solution with other tools."
"The data transformation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"From the product feature or product capability perspective, the aspects around integration, transformation, and standardization are valuable. It's fairly easy to use. It has a GUI-based interface."
"Mainstream integration and real-time integration are the best features."
"It is a scalable and versatile solution."
"Provides a significant amount of control over the landscape and overall implementation."
"Overall, it's a good tool. It's currently number one on the market. It pretty much has all the necessary capabilities to pull the incremental data from the source system, technically speaking."
"The scalability is excellent."
"If the price were reduced then it would be more competitive."
"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."
"Improving the key-based sign-on process and making it more user-friendly would be a benefit."
"An improvement for Alteryx Designer would be faster bug fixes and updates."
"Alteryx could move faster to create a cloud equivalent of the desktop version of Designer."
"Its cost can sometimes be a drawback."
"Based on my experience, the tool could be improved by providing sample reports or pre-configured workflows tailored to specific industries, like finance. It needs to integrate an AI chatbot as well."
"Sometimes, while getting data from a third-party product, the solution works slowly."
"They should make it quick and easy for use of citizen data integration or for people or integrators developing at the customer side. They could be development teams within the business team. For them, the product owners can consider making it a little bit more seamless and a little bit more democratized."
"I would like the stability to improve."
"The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult."
"The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Apache Spark has a machine learning algorithm, an area where Informatica PowerExchange lacks."
"The one place where it could be improved is definitely pricing. That's a very big problem. It depends product to product, but pricing is an issue."
"The solution needs better integration with other tools."
"The major shortcoming of PowerExchange is high availability and failover. None of the versions we've used to date have had the out-of-the-box ability to enable failover and high-availability requirements. This is a significant challenge and risk."
