Featured Reviews

Ajay Nayak - PeerSpot reviewer
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
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 tool's most valuable feature is its API connections. Its predictive analytics feature has helped us pass some ETL processes to analysts rather than developers."
"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."
"Workflow automation, in general, is valuable."
"The most valuable features are the integrated properties and integrated connectivity."
"The product offers very good analytics."
"It helps them to create customized workflows, transform data, perform calculations, and consolidate multiple data sources into a target database."
"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."
"I like Alteryx Designer's drag-and-drop feature, where you drag a component, configure it and quickly run it."
"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

"If the price were reduced then it would be more competitive."
"Alteryx's data science and machine learning capabilities are where it loses out to DataIQ."
"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."
"I would like to be able to include small snippets of code inside of the solution. The tool has only drag-and-drop features to make it easy to use, but sometimes I feel like this makes it more complicated."
"An improvement for Alteryx Designer would be faster bug fixes and updates."
"We discontinued using Alteryx's data science studio because it was not very user-friendly."
"Sometimes, while getting data from a third-party product, the solution works slowly."
"It is challenging to view the data using Alteryx Designer."
"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 Alteryx Designer a six out of ten for pricing."
"Alteryx Designer is an expensive solution."
"Alteryx Designer is an expensive solution."
"Alteryx Designer is a very expensive solution."
"The licenses are expensive, making it difficult to consider acquiring additional licenses to the existing ones."
"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."
"I rate the product's pricing a two to three out of ten."
"Alteryx is a little bit expensive compared to competing solutions."
