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.

Fast document parsing has boosted culture insights and now improves HR policy intelligence
We are now using Unstructured every day, and it is useful when we want answers and AI to be used on a PDF or something similar. We use Unstructured to convert it into a vector database to make retrieval augmentation or any kind of AI processes easy. The document parsing stands out, as the document ingestion is very fast in Unstructured, 20 to 40% faster than the industry products available. If HR wants to upload a PDF on our platform, we use Unstructured to digest the data, and it is 20 to 40% faster than other solutions. The faster document ingestion has resulted in customer satisfaction, leading to higher quality answers using AI that improved customer satisfaction and NPS score. NPS has improved by at least 10 to 15 points since we started using Unstructured, not only for data digestion but also for retrieving data when we have to use AI or RAG.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Alteryx is the kind of software that a corporation would want to go with and to deploy for people who are not really data scientists and that have to use data, design dashboards, clean and prepare data and so on."
"I like Alteryx Designer's drag-and-drop feature, where you drag a component, configure it and quickly run it."
"The solution's ability to hold a huge amount of data in its memory is significant."
"The scalability is one of the things that get our customers mostly excited about how easy it is to start scaling the server."
"One of the things I like about Alteryx Designer is how easy it is to connect numerous data inputs, including API connectors. This helps tremendously in reducing the time required to extract data from systems like SAP that don't have straightforward connectivity options."
"Alteryx allowed us to access all the data, blend it, and output it as a dashboard for the user to access any time they needed it."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"Alteryx is quite easy to use, learn, and understand as a product."
"The faster document ingestion has resulted in customer satisfaction, leading to higher quality answers using AI that improved customer satisfaction and NPS score."
 

Cons

"We can't browse multiple files. When we deploy a solution on a gallery, let's say I have ten different files, and I have to upload them all at once. This is something that's difficult in the gallery. So case by case, I see some downsides, but often we do something alternative."
"Alteryx is just as complicated as coding, in my opinion."
"Configuration is very low."
"The desktop license is expensive."
"I think the only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"There are a few hiccups with specific data sets and languages or formats that the data comes in. That may be a minor problem, but we can work through it. We had some issues looking at XML format in added data, but it wasn't significant."
"Technical support is okay and could be better. Sometimes, it takes about two to five days to hear an answer from the technical support team."
"There are a few ways the solution could be made better. The graphical user interface could be made more friendly."
"Cost is something that needs to be factored for scaling use cases because we do not have control over how many documents users will upload, so it is variable and we cannot set a threshold."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"Its price should be lower. The key thing that we see is that talking about ROI is an important element at the time of purchase. Cost becomes a factor in every discussion. Justifying the ROI for these kinds of workflows is always a challenge, and the only way to counter the challenge is by addressing the pricing."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"The tool is priced high."
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
