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.

Pros

"The design portion of this tool is easy to use without code, which his something that something we can appreciate."
"I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."
"There are a lot of good customization capabilities."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"You get more support with Alteryx, and it's good for non-sophisticated users who can benefit from the support included in the price."
"Good data transformation."
"The drag and drop and layout is simple to understand, with intuitive names of features."
"It saves time on a lot projects. ​"
"It is also easy to deploy."
"The data profile itself is excellent. You can understand the quality of the data in layman's terms."
 

Cons

"If there is any way to make the learning curve less steep, that would be ideal."
"The solution could work on the BI side of the tool to make it a bit better."
"Alteryx can improve the model management and deployment processing of large workloads."
"There are no ready models to use in analytics."
"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 product's pricing needs improvement."
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality."
"Deep learning models are not currently supported."
"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."
"They could focus more on marketing the product. The current marketing strategy is not working."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else."
"ROI is huge. There are some secondary benefits, like analysts getting their post 5 PM time back or the ability to shorten all closing processes to a half or less."
"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"There is no need to buy a license. You can just download it and use it for free."
