Able to hold a huge amount of data in its memory, but it is very expensive

We had challenges with a very complex workflow, and we couldn't find the root cause because it caused an error in the output. We recreated the workflow, and it solved the problem. Alteryx Designer integrated seamlessly with other tools and systems in our workflow. It's not convenient for us to develop any machine learning model using Alteryx Designer. Other data science studio tools are much more advanced than the data science studio tools in Alteryx. We do maintenance on our workflow, but we try to be careful with the upgrades because we don't want any upgrades to impact our production workflows. One or two people are needed to maintain the solution. Overall, I rate the solution a seven 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

"I have been using Alteryx Designer only for data modeling and data structuring."

"It is a very nice solution; we love it and consider it the best solution among similar kinds of solutions."

"The most valuable feature of Alteryx Designer is its ability to select all the inputs and formulas."

"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."

"Alteryx Designer is stable."

"Alteryx Designer offers a drag-and-drop interface, making it highly user-friendly. Unlike Python and Apache Airflow, which require coding, Alteryx allows users to accomplish tasks without any programming knowledge. Its simplicity makes it accessible to anyone, even those without coding experience, and this ease of use is one of Alteryx's key advantages."

"The main valuable aspect is the simplicity of use across all features."

"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."

More Alteryx Designer pros

"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."

"It's easy to manage and supports the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."

"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."

Cons

"An improvement for Alteryx Designer would be faster bug fixes and updates."

"The conditional join feature should be improved."

"The actual usage part of it needs to be explained more; it's too vague right now."

"Alteryx Designer overall should be easier to use."

"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."

"If the price were reduced then it would be more competitive."

"An improvement for Alteryx Designer would be faster bug fixes and updates."

"Alteryx could move faster to create a cloud equivalent of the desktop version of Designer."

More Alteryx Designer cons

"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."

"There are issues with certain Apple devices."

"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is priced high."

"The product is a bit expensive, it should be looked into."

"The pricing is bit expensive."

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

"Each license is something like $4,000."

"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 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."

"Alteryx is a little bit expensive compared to competing solutions."
