Alteryx is a reliable tool, but it is also very heavy, requiring good laptop configurations, a minimum of 8GB RAM, and a recent processor such as i10.

Room For Improvement

Alteryx needs better database connectivity, visualization, pricing, cloud deployment, documentation, and user interface for improved usability and performance.
WhereScape RED suffers from scalability issues, lacking performance efficiency, enhanced documentation, better GUI, and improved support for multi-database environments.
The tool could include more native connectors, such as for global ERPs, instead of requiring additional fees for these connections.

The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system.

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.

Quick to set up, flexible, and stable
The scheduling part I don't like due to the fact that it allows you to schedule as a parent and child and other things, however, the error trackability has to be a little more user-friendly. It's also not user-friendly in the sense that it loads all the jobs and there are not enough filters so that it doesn't need to load everything. If the job fails, you don't get any type of alert or email. It would be ideal if there was some sort of automated alert message. Technical support isn't the best. It would be ideal if we understood how to do it in a card exception regarding exclusion, where the card is captured separately rather than filling the whole process on the data inbound side. Certain workloads like this are organized in such a way where you seem to be doubling the work as opposed to streamlining the process.
