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.

Provides all the frameworks and makes it easy to create environments for multiple projects
The best thing is that it provides all the frameworks and makes it easy to create environments for multiple projects using Anaconda. It is easy for a beginner to learn to use Anaconda. Comparatively, it is easier than using virtual environments or other environments because of the Conda environment. However, there are many things in Anaconda that people need to be aware of, so it can be challenging.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Good data transformation."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is the intelligence suite."
"The scheduling within the solution is excellent."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"The three data signs and data engineering are great features."
"The feature that I have found most valuable for Alteryx is its geo-referencing feature, it is very good. I use it a lot, especially for supply chain."
"Alteryx is a simple and easy-to-use solution."
"The notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio."
"With Anaconda Navigator, we have been able to use multiple IDEs such as JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebook, Spyder, Visual Studio Code, and RStudio in one place. The platform-agnostic package manager, "Conda", makes life easy when it comes to managing and installing packages."
"The virtual environment is very good."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its cloud-based nature, allowing accessibility from anywhere. Additionally, using Jupyter Notebook makes it easy to handle bugs and errors."
"The solution is stable."
"The best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."
"The most valuable feature is the set of libraries that are used to support the functionality that we require."
"The product is responsive, sleek and has a beautiful interface that is pleasant to use. It helps users to easily share code."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"I like writing preformance queries for preprocessing on AWS Cloud."
"It is very stable. It's 100% uptime. Speed and resilience are one of the greatest features of this product. In almost twenty years we've never had downtime, except for outages for patches and upgrades. We've never had a system failure in twenty years."
"The ability to handle machine data parallel processing is the most valuable feature of Teradata."
"The performance is great, we are able to query our data in one operation."
"The flexibility in design is very good."
"Teradata effectively uses parallelism to the granular level, performing better than other databases."
"The most valuable features are the large volume of data and the structuring of the data to optimize it and get very optimal data warehouse solutions for customers."
 

Cons

"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."
"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."
"There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason."
"From a commercial standpoint, more options should be available for pricing. The licensing model needs to be specific."
"The gallery could improve in Alteryx. Additionally, if there was a Conditional Join feature it would be beneficial. Since I do not have this feature I have to use Python scripts."
"We are hoping that the NLP features will also support Chinese characters."
"The solution is improving continuously. They have, for example, just added automatic insights. If they continue to improve on their overall service offering, that would be ideal."
"Sometimes, there are performance constraints. Especially when a large file has to be ingested, the system slows down a bit. Its performance is the only thing that can be improved."
"When you install Anaconda for the first time, it's really difficult to update it."
"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI."
"Anaconda consumes a significant amount of processing memory when working on it."
"One thing that hurts the product is that the company is not doing more to advertise it as a solution and make it more well known."
"I think that the framework can be improved to make it easier for people to discover and use things on their own."
"Anaconda should be optimized for RAM consumption."
"One feature that I would like to see is being able to use a different language in a different cell, which would allow me to mix R and Python together."
"Having a small guide or video on the tool would help learn how to use it and what the features are."
"Azure Synapse SQL has evolved from a solely dedicated support tool to a data lake. It can store data from multiple systems, not just traditional database management systems. On the other hand, Teradata has limitations in loading flat files or unstructured data directly into its warehouse. In Azure Synapse SQL, we can implement machine learning using Python scripts. Additionally, Azure Synapse SQL offers advanced analytical capabilities compared to Teradata. Teradata is also expensive."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"Teradata needs to pay attention to the cloud-based solution to make sure it runs smoothly."
"There are some ways that the handling of unstructured data could be improved."
"The primary challenge with Teradata lies in its cost structure, encompassing subscription fees, software licenses, and hardware expenses."
"The setup is not straightforward."
"I would like to see more integration with many different types of data."
"The solution’s pricing, scalability, and technical support response time could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a ten, as it is highly priced."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"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).​"
"The product is open-source and free to use."
"My company uses the free version of the tool. There is also a paid version of the tool available."
"The tool is open-source."
"Anaconda is free to use, but in terms of hardware costs, you might need heavy GPUs to run CUDA and other demanding tasks."
"The licensing costs for Anaconda are reasonable."
"Make sure you have the in-house skills to design and support the solution, as relying on external sources is extremely costly and tends to lock you into specific platforms, tools, and paradigms."
"The product cost is high for what the client gets. There may be more cost-effective solutions for small and medium-sized organizations."
"The cost is substantial, totaling around $1.2 million, solely dedicated to upgrading the hardware."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for Teradata IntelliFlex, which is very expensive."
"Teradata is a very expensive solution."
"Teradata pricing is fine, and it's competitive with all the legacy models. On a scale of one to five, with one being the worst and five being the best, I'm giving Teradata a three, because it can be a little expensive, when compared to other solutions."
"I am using the free version of Teradata."
"Teradata's licensing is on the expensive side."
