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.

Drag-and-drop functionality makes the interface easy to use, but the technical support needs to be improved
There are not many people deploying models using this solution, which is a problem. I have done some cross-development and have found that when I am building models with the open-source software, the accuracy is better. For categorical data, the models built by SAS Emailer are very complex compared to those built by the open-source version. Technical support could be improved because they take too long to answer our queries. Models that are created are a block box, and you can't see the details.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Alteryx is easier to set up and implement and allowed us to also focus on different aspects of the business."
"Alteryx is a simple and easy-to-use solution."
"The most valuable features are the integrated properties and integrated connectivity."
"The main benefits that Alteryx provides for me are that it is easier to use, I do not have to code anything, so it is a non-coding tool, and it saves my time in that aspect."
"It has certainly paid for itself on a per-user basis."
"You get more support with Alteryx, and it's good for non-sophisticated users who can benefit from the support included in the price."
"Automation is the most valuable aspect for us. The ability to wrap business logic around the data is very helpful."
"Using the product, we earn a lot of time, which is used to do other tasks."
"The most valuable feature is its flexibility and the ability to integrate with SAS."
"The most valuable features are forecasting and reporting."
 

Cons

"If the price were reduced then it would be more competitive."
"Its cost can sometimes be a drawback."
"The solution can be made more affordable."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three."
"Sometimes, while getting data from a third-party product, the solution works slowly."
"Although I use this product regularly, I used to code for many years and I am not a big fan of tools like Alteryx. I don't think that it's a good product, and the reason is that when the use cases get more complex, the models get exponentially larger and more complex to put together."
"It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx."
"Alteryx can improve in data science. They have to have more features and components in the data science aspect because they claim to be a data science tool. However, in order to be more competitive, they have to improve on their data science propositions. Thre are other solutions on the market, such as other players in the market, Data2Go or DataIQ, and Alteryx needs to catch up."
"Technical support could be improved because they take too long to answer our queries."
"If SAS were more flexible in terms of licensing then that would be good, because it costs more than other solutions."
"I think that this solution should be more compatible with other software, including open-source solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​Very transparent.​"
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"ROI is huge. There are some secondary benefits, like analysts getting their post 5 PM time back or the ability to shorten all closing processes to a half or less."
"If one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the tool's price as a one. The tool is expensive."
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"If SAS were more flexible in terms of licensing then that would be good, because it costs more than other solutions."
