CP
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.

A seamless all-in-one solution
This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything. With other solutions, you'll need a separate platform for data ingestion, manipulation, etc. Then you'll need another tool for reporting. Palantir Gotham literally does it all. It generates a report regardless of the format. It can seamlessly generate it after the data has been collected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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's ability to hold a huge amount of data in its memory is significant."
"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."
"Alteryx Designer has so many functionalities packed into one package that you get a lot of things that you wouldn't have expected."
"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 features I found most valuable are the preparation features – the Join and the Transform."
"It helps them to create customized workflows, transform data, perform calculations, and consolidate multiple data sources into a target database."
"It is a very nice solution; we love it and consider it the best solution among similar kinds of solutions."
"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."
 

Cons

"The major concern in Alteryx Designer stems from the high costs attached to the product."
"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."
"It is too expensive for our country, and because of its high price, we can't sell Alteryx Designer in this region."
"The product could offer more connectors and more databases with support for the in-database function."
"Alteryx Designer is not as fast as SSIS and is not good for large datasets. It also needs to improve database procedures. Though it is easy to use, it is limited in terms of technical aspects."
"The actual usage part of it needs to be explained more. It's too vague right now."
"When configuring the Logix, the UA could be improved."
"We need more documentation."
"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."

"Each license is something like $4,000."
"I rate the product's pricing a two to three out of ten."

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