We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like Alteryx Designer's drag-and-drop feature, where you drag a component, configure it and quickly run it.""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.""The features I found most valuable are the preparation features – the Join and the Transform.""The product is very stable. The performance is reliable.""For my daily analytics needs, the entire Alteryx Designer platform is beneficial.""Alteryx Designer is a tool that is pretty much easy to install.""The solution is user-friendly.""The product is intuitive and easy to use."

"It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies.""Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable.""It's been able to do everything we require.""We allow non-technical people to use Matillion to load data into our data warehouse for reporting. Thus, it is easy enough to use that we don't always have to get a technical person involved in setting up a data movement (ETL).""The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its user-friendly graphical interface.""The product has a good user interface.""Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines.""The technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps."

Cons
"The actual usage part of it needs to be explained more. It's too vague right now.""An improvement for Alteryx Designer would be faster bug fixes and updates.""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.""Alteryx's data science and machine learning capabilities are where it loses out to DataIQ.""Alteryx Designer overall should be easier to use.""The product could offer more connectors and more databases with support for the in-database function.""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."

More Alteryx Designer Cons →

"In the next release, we would like to have connections to more databases.""The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine.""I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product.""Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level.""There are certain functions that are available in other ETL tools which are still not present in Matillion ETL. It would be good to have more features.""Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS.""Matillion’s on-premises capabilities don’t allow you to build something customized.""Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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 is a little bit expensive compared to competing solutions."
  • "Alteryx Designer is an expensive solution."
  • "I rate Alteryx Designer a six out of ten for pricing."
  • "The licenses are expensive, making it difficult to consider acquiring additional licenses to the existing ones."

  • "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 prices needs to be lower."
  • "It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
