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.

Good management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments
In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many rouge devices broadcasting, and the devices is getting interference from another channel. The only to fix this is to reboot and we need something that reboots on the fly. We also need better security for VLANs and VPNs. There are issues with certain Apple devices. Technical support is not very helpful. The initial setup, which seemed straightforward at first, had to be redone. This may not have been the fault of the product. We're not sure what went wrong.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is very stable. The performance is reliable."
"I have been using Alteryx Designer only for data modeling and data structuring."
"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."
"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."
"It helps them to create customized workflows, transform data, perform calculations, and consolidate multiple data sources into a target database."
"Yes, there is a return on investment."
"Alteryx Designer's user interface is great, as it is very user-friendly."
"The product offers very good analytics."
"It's easy to manage and supports the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
 

Cons

"Alteryx's data science and machine learning capabilities are where it loses out to DataIQ."
"It is too expensive for our country, and because of its high price, we can't sell Alteryx Designer in this region."
"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."
"Alteryx Designer's pricing and support could be improved."
"When configuring the Logix, the UA could be improved."
"The data engineering and integration need to be improved."
"An improvement for Alteryx Designer would be faster bug fixes and updates."
"Improving the key-based sign-on process and making it more user-friendly would be a benefit."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
