Theresa McLaughlin - PeerSpot reviewer
Quick development enables seamless data processing despite occasional support issues
There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason. The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system. Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage. For instance, our licenses were temporarily lost during negotiations when an agreement couldn't be reached.
Ashish Lata - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration with automation tools enhances customer sentiment analysis
Comprehend is a useful service for sentiment analysis as it analyzes customer transcripts to evaluate interactions between customers and agents. It provides scores indicating whether sentiments are positive, negative, or neutral. The integration with AWS services like DynamoDB and Lambda facilitates automated analysis, contributing to more informed assessments of customer interactions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Alteryx is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter."
"The drag-and-drop features are useful for data scientists who do not like to code because it is already in the system."
"The most valuable feature for me is integration."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The Alteryx designer has been the most useful feature in the solution."
"Automation is the most valuable aspect for us. The ability to wrap business logic around the data is very helpful."
"I am totally happy with AWS support, as they provide excellent solutions."
"Amazon Comprehend works with a large pool of doctors. They're building the product based on working with domain experts."
 

Cons

"I think they should really work on integrating or have a capacity to integrate some algorithmic code. I think that's one of the most important things they need to be doing."
"There are no ready models to use in analytics."
"The interface could be improved."
"I mostly used it for flat files, but I have many colleagues who reported that to tune a query, in case they want to directly connect to the database, there is no option to optimize the performance of the query, as we have in Informatica."
"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability."
"There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search."
"There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients."
"From a commercial standpoint, more options should be available for pricing. The licensing model needs to be specific."
"There is room for improvement in terms of accuracy. For example, when a sentence expresses a negative sentiment, such as 'I want to cancel my credit card,' it is crucial for the system to accurately identify it as negative."
"It is a bit complex to scale. It is still evolving as a product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"It's very expensive. I'd rate it a four out of ten in terms of the price. It's great for big companies but not for small companies."
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"The seat is too expensive."
"It is $4,000 a year, so it is cheap versus other solutions. It also accomplishes three times the volume on the job in the same time (as the other solutions).​"
