Featured Reviews

Senior Staff Cyber Security Cloud Data Architect at GE Healthcare
Automated complex ETL workflows have reduced coding effort and improved data integration
One area for improvement is in integrating mostly the data which comes from telemetry, where I can see some sort of improvisations can be made. It is a massive amount of unstructured data, and I believe Alteryx is able to handle it, but there can be some improvements. Suggestions for improvements in Alteryx include areas for increasing efficiency, particularly in processing telemetry data, which involves dealing with large volumes of unstructured data. Additionally, I believe when we use filter tools immediately after the input source, there can be slowdowns when handling massive data. The user experience of Alteryx is generally good, but there are areas for improvement from a user's perspective, particularly regarding user interface enhancements. I think there's always room for improvement, but otherwise, Alteryx has been a great tool for me. We haven't experienced significant disruptions while increasing data volumes, though I sense there could be performance issues as data grows exponentially. This is an area that could use improvement in Alteryx.

User-friendly and accessible for anyone with computer knowledge and logical thinking
There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool. Currently, it provides basic reports and the ability to create graphs and dashboards, but I'm looking forward to more robust analytics. The plan is to enhance this feature in 2024, around Q2 or Q3, which would save us from relying on external tools like Power BI for insights.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"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."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"It's fairly easy to use and easy to implement and deploy, and also makes it very easy to fetch data."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"Any company considering a data processing platform which is light, offers good flexibility, and deals with moderate or low sized data, will find this is a really good spend."
"You get more support with Alteryx, and it's good for non-sophisticated users who can benefit from the support included in the price."
"The modeling features are very good."
"Back in the day, we could only get reports and analyze what happened after the fact, but today now we can generate real-time insights. Transformation Manager feeds your data science projects. We generate models and then give them to the clients, so they can come up with real-time predictions and recommendations in addition to reporting."
"It is among the best, even if not widely known."
"Transformation Manager is the backbone of every data pipeline these days because the solution has been on the market for 20 to 30 years, and we use it for various industries, including financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, etc."
"It is a reliable solution."
 

Cons

"The learning curve is long, and there is lack of e-learning; the tool is not user-friendly to a non-technical user."
"The only thing is sometimes it can be a bit slow."
"I'd like it to be easier to work with PDF."
"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"One area for improvement is in integrating mostly the data which comes from telemetry, where I can see some sort of improvisations can be made."
"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."
"Mastering Alteryx, a comprehensive solution, takes time. However, once you have gained proficiency with its layout and how to drag, drop, and connect components, it becomes remarkably easy, yet still thorough."
"When it comes to the pivoting part, the drill-through option is not there in Alteryx."
"They should build a functional architecture based on queuing."
"Transformation Manager reporting could be better. There are better options for reporting tools these days. We use Microsoft BI sometimes, but Tableau is becoming too expensive. Microsoft BI's visualization features are maturing."
"We get decent support. It's okay but not great."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"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."
"The tool is priced high."
"The solution is expensive. It has license fees, which are renewable every year."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"Each license is something like $4,000."
"It is an expensive solution."
