Featured Reviews

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.
Varun Khandavalli - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Specialist Engineering Dev. & Integration at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Efficient data integration and good automation with challenging configurability
The application has a difficult-to-use parsing capability, which requires a lot of reengineering when the use case isn't specifically met. The application also lacks capabilities within its terminal commands that are not available in their GUI. It requires a lot of configurability, which could be streamlined for an enterprise application user.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Alteryx Designer is its ability to select all the inputs and formulas."
"It helps them to create customized workflows, transform data, perform calculations, and consolidate multiple data sources into a target database."
"Workflow automation, in general, is valuable."
"I like Alteryx Designer's drag-and-drop feature, where you drag a component, configure it and quickly run it."
"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."
"For my daily analytics needs, the entire Alteryx Designer platform is beneficial."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The ingestion engines were pretty good."
"The crawler agents they provide, as well as TetraScience exclusive parsers, allow for specific instruments that we use in our labs with proprietary formats to extract data and put it into more standard formats for various purposes."
 

Cons

"The conditional join feature should be improved."
"It would be simpler if they provided a component where you could simply enter some parameters and see the results."
"When it comes to the pivoting part, the drill-through option is not there in Alteryx."
"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."
"It is challenging to view the data using Alteryx Designer."
"Alteryx Designer's cost should be improved."
"Alteryx is a little bit expensive compared to competing solutions."
"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."
"The application has a difficult-to-use parsing capability, which requires a lot of reengineering when the use case isn't specifically met."
"While functional during ingestion workflows, the automation toolkit required manual processes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the price of Alteryx Designer a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The pricing is bit expensive."
"I rate Alteryx Designer a six out of ten for pricing."
"The solution is expensive. It has license fees, which are renewable every year."
"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."
"Each license is something like $4,000."
"Alteryx Designer is an expensive solution."
