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.

Is easy to deploy and is free, but marketing strategies need improvement
We use Ataccama DQ Analyzer to analyze data migration from one source to another. We use it to clean up the data I like that there is no need to buy a license. You can just download it and use it free. It is also easy to deploy. They could focus more on marketing the product. The current…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's super easy to learn how to use it — the learning curve is very small."
"The modeling features are very good."
"The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily."
"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."
"It offered quick development, with the ability to process large datasets."
"The data transformation feature is the most valuable. The ability to ingest data, visualize data, and transform that data is useful."
"The support is very good."
"The most valuable feature for me is integration."
"The data profile itself is excellent. You can understand the quality of the data in layman's terms."
"It is also easy to deploy."
 

Cons

"The solution just lacks in terms of data visualization. That is why we use Tableau and Qlik in our organization. They help to pick up the slack. If data visualization was added, Alteryx would be a very good tool, and much more complete."
"It would be beneficial if Alteryx could lower its price or introduce a loyalty program for individual consultants and freelancers like me."
"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."
"Mastering Alteryx, a comprehensive solution, takes time. However, once you have gained proficiency with its layout and how to drag, drop, and connect components, it becomes remarkably easy, yet still thorough."
"The next feature release should include easier reporting."
"The scalability worries me a lot at the moment because the cost of the solution is high and it is not growing considerably. Unfortunately, we started during early COVID times and because of the economic downturn, all the cost cuttings, and everything, it is not growing as expected."
"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."
"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."
"They could focus more on marketing the product. The current marketing strategy is not working."
"Although DQA can fetch data from most of the commonly used data sources, it has limited modifiers to get data, meaning that the number of technologies from which the data can be acquired is limited. For example, DQA does not support fetching data from Twitter or Facebook. Many competitors have this feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's probably on the pricey side, but they provide some really useful ways to grow and test."
"The seat is too expensive."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"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."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a ten, as it is highly priced."
"There is no need to buy a license. You can just download it and use it for free."
