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."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"Alteryx's connectivity is essential. We like the ability to connect the solution to multiple sources. It's easier than other data modeling and extraction solutions. It's built on a self-service concept, so it's easy for anyone to open the tool and directly import or export data from it."
"Alteryx is a simple and easy-to-use solution."
"The modeling features are very good."
"I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use."
"The most valuable feature for me is integration."
"Easily able to connect with our other services and easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface."
"The ease with which it integrates with different data sources is most valuable. Especially when everything is on AWS, it is easy to connect to the data source and organize different dashboards."
"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"From an analytics perspective, it's really good for self-service analytics."
"The integration is very seamless. We stored our result CSV files in S3 and connected directly from there."
"Compared to other reporting tools, it is very effective but does require an understanding of certain concepts in QuickSight. This understanding is crucial for creating dimensions, changing metrics, and visualizing reports."
"The solution is simple to implement."
 

Cons

"From a commercial standpoint, more options should be available for pricing. The licensing model needs to be specific."
"The solution can be made more affordable."
"There have been some issues with licensing, particularly with the increased prices. This has led some companies, including ours, to consider reducing the number of licenses or potentially discontinuing their use of Alteryx."
"The next feature release should include easier reporting."
"The learning curve is long, and there is lack of e-learning; the tool is not user-friendly to a non-technical user."
"All of the reports are migrated or exported in an Excel file, and most of the time, a business intelligence tool is required. They could have better reporting. The aesthetic could be improved."
"Alteryx is just as complicated as coding, in my opinion."
"The GUI interface functions but it could stand to be updated to a more modern look and feel."
"The number of features in the product is limited in comparison with the other tools in the market, like Power BI."
"An area for improvement in Amazon QuickSight is storage. Data cleanup also needs improvement because I'm experiencing errors when cleaning the data. Amazon QuickSight needs video tutorials showing its different functions and purposes."
"I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it."
"One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."
"Amazon QuickSight has minimal features. The feature set can be improved to allow you to create good production-ready dashboards. This does not happen with QuickSite, it needs to mature to be used in production."
"The product is quite expensive because the price is too close to QlikView's prices but it does not ring as well as QlikView."
"It should support integration with Python or R."
"It's not ideal for reports that are more complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"While it offers extensive features, including predictive analytics, for those who mainly use it for data preparation and blending, the cost can be prohibitive."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
"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."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"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."
"It is simpler and cheaper than other solutions."
"The Amazon QuickSight licensing model my company's on is pay-as-you-go, but I wouldn't be able to give the figures because that's handled by the finance department."
"The pricing is cost-effective with a good plan."
"A highly affordable cost structure with fixed membership and timeframe basis options."
"I rate the price of Amazon QuickSight a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"The standard edition is free to use for exploration purposes while the enterprise edition needs to be paid for. The pricing for this solution is very reasonable."
"I'm using a paid version of Amazon QuickSight, paying about $22 monthly. As I have yet to learn about the pricing for other tools, such as Power BI, I won't be able to compare."
"It's affordable compared to other long-term contractor business tools available in the market."
