Ajay Nayak - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Data Engineer at Baxter International Inc.
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.
GagandeepSingh3 - PeerSpot reviewer

Good at handling replication, provides cross-database replication but SAP can provide better support for cross-database replication to newer technologies
SAP can provide better support for cross-database replication to newer technologies. The product supports Oracle, but I am not aware of what other technologies it supports. If someone wants to replicate their data from Sybase to a newer technology for data warehousing or other purposes, it would be better if they supported those.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's fairly easy to use and easy to implement and deploy, and also makes it very easy to fetch data."
"I believe in the ability to connect to multiple data sources, as well as the ease of use to transform data and output data in a variety of formats."
"Alteryx Designer is a tool that is pretty much easy to install."
"Alteryx Designer's best features are that it's easy to use and performs well."
"We automate analytics tasks saving thousand of ours from our clients, starting with a scenario of a lot of manual work and then automating it, offering very good analytics with much more power through geospacial analytics and data science."
"The solution's ability to hold a huge amount of data in its memory is significant."
"It helps them to create customized workflows, transform data, perform calculations, and consolidate multiple data sources into a target database."
"The solution is easy to integrate and user-friendly."
"It's pretty good at handling replication, even under high load. It also provides cross-database replication, for example, from Sybase to Oracle."
"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience."
"We use this solution for all kinds of communications like RFC, BAPI, IDoc, connecting with the orders, accounts, finance, data stuff, banking, everything."
"The most valuable thing about this product is that it replicates data between SAP databases (ASE to IQ) very successfully."
"This product has a catalog with the location of all the objects which were replicated, and it's very simple to maintain."
"It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage."
"SAP is renovating different things. We are using external tools to connect as of now. It is going well, and now the new generation integration platforms are going to be pretty easy."
"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."
 

Cons

"Its cost can sometimes be a drawback."
"If the price were reduced then it would be more competitive."
"Alteryx needs to improve its web governance."
"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."
"Optimizing processing times is one area I would like to see improved in Alteryx Designer. Sometimes, the workflows take an extremely long time to run. There are days when I have had to wait two to three hours for a single process to complete. There needs to be a functionality to split the processes."
"Alteryx is a little bit expensive compared to competing solutions."
"For smaller clients with ten to 15 employees, Alteryx can be expensive."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see."
"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."
"If someone wants to replicate their data from Sybase to a newer technology for data warehousing or other purposes, it would be better if they supported those."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."
"It's complex. It's necessary to understand a little about infrastructure, like network LAN and VLAN environment."
"There is a need to improve performance in high transactional processes."
"Setup was a little complex."
