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.

Decreases the development timeframe and costs
The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems. Often, customers decide to develop using open-source tools like Spring Boot if there aren't many connectors required to avoid increasing costs. They'll develop this way and then deploy using APIM, the bare minimum needed. It is mainly required for very complicated setups with many connectors. In the implementations I've seen, people often used open-source tools because there weren't many third-party systems involved—just their organization's own systems. From WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, I expect them to bring up more and more connectors in the future. That's the main expectation. Having more connectors in various areas will help us when discussing new requirements. I don't have any specific use case right now, so I can't name a particular connector. But, as new technologies emerge, the relevant connectors should be there for those. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator mainly helps with the integration part, which can be simplified only if you have relevant connectors for whatever you're doing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features I found most valuable are the preparation features – the Join and the Transform."
"I like Alteryx Designer's drag-and-drop feature, where you drag a component, configure it and quickly run it."
"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."
"Alteryx Designer's user interface is great, as it is very user-friendly."
"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 has an easy setup process."
"It has great UI."
"Alteryx Designer's best features are that it's easy to use and performs well."
"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."
"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"The connectors have been the most impactful features for handling integrations. I can use these connectors when I need specific connectivity with a third party, like a core banking system in BFSI. I don't need to do all the development. I take the specific connector, put in the IP address and password, and it takes care of everything."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things."
 

Cons

"Alteryx could move faster to create a cloud equivalent of the desktop version of Designer."
"Alteryx Designer overall should be easier to use."
"We need more documentation."
"It is challenging to view the data using Alteryx Designer."
"The product could offer more connectors and more databases with support for the in-database function."
"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."
"The actual usage part of it needs to be explained more. It's too vague right now."
"If the price were reduced then it would be more competitive."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."
"They should release upgrades more frequently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is priced high."
"Alteryx Designer is an expensive solution."
"Each license is something like $4,000."
"Alteryx is a little bit expensive compared to competing solutions."
"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 price of Alteryx Designer a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"I rate the product's pricing a two to three out of ten."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
