Time-saving workflows have transformed data preparation and predictive analysis for my team
Some of the best features Alteryx offers are its no and low-code capabilities. It delivers massive time-saving and includes spatial and predictive analysis. Alteryx includes built-in tools such as drive time analysis and linear regression, which are much harder to achieve in standard BI tools such as Power BI or Tableau. In addition to these features, Alteryx provides built-in spatial tools that can calculate drive time and location-based insights with minimal effort through drag-and-drop spatial tools, low complex coding, faster, and more accurate results. Linear regression predicts sales based on marketing spend, estimates costs based on usage, and identifies trends in historical data. Alteryx has positively impacted my organization by saving time, improving accuracy, and enabling better decision-making. Using Alteryx, complex tasks such as data cleansing, joining datasets, drive time analysis, and linear regression can be done much faster compared to manual Excel or SQL work. This reduces dependency on manual effort and lowers the risk of human error. Drive time analysis helps my organization make better location-based decisions, such as identifying optimal service areas or improving customer reach.

Governance And Engagement Lead
Improved data governance has enabled sensitive data tracking but cost management still needs work
I believe we could improve Databricks integration with cloud service providers. The impact of our current integration has not been particularly good, and it's becoming very expensive for us. The inefficiencies in our implementation, such as not shutting down warehouses when they're not in use or reserving the right number of credits, have led to increased costs. We made several beginner mistakes, such as not taking advantage of incremental loading and running overly complicated queries all the time. We should be using ETL tools to help us instead of doing it directly in Databricks. We need more experienced professionals to manage Databricks effectively, as it's not as forgiving as other platforms such as Snowflake. I think introducing customer repositories would facilitate easier implementation with Databricks.

Accelerated machine learning model development with seamless deployment
We used Domino Data Science Platform for developing and working with machine learning models. It facilitated end-to-end development processes. Domino is based on Git, enabling collaboration similar to using Git. Each user operates on their own equivalent of a branch or fork, and once finished, they…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is easy, straightforward, and simple, and within hours I can have the designer up and running."
"Workflows and a large number of tools were a quick QA methodology and rapid prototype creation tool."
"Alteryx has a good UI. We use it frequently in our projects. The tool comes with drag-and-drop features and is easy to understand for business needs. One situation where Alteryx's advanced analytics capabilities were particularly beneficial for us was during a forecasting project. Unlike Python, which requires coding, Alteryx simplifies the process significantly. With Alteryx, users can adjust parameters within the user interface without writing any code."
"The drag-and-drop functionality, the ready-to-use analytics module, and the ability to track my data pipelines visually are the solution's most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its performance. It is a powerful solution."
"It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis."
"Predictive models, which are easy to use, and help a lot with fast design and deployment​."
"The product's most valuable features include its ease of use for non-technical users and machine learning capabilities."
"We like that this solution can handle a wide variety and velocity of data engineering, either in batch mode or real-time."
"Having one solution for everything, from data engineering to machine learning, is beneficial since everything comes under one hood."
"Automation with Databricks is very easy when using the API."
"The most valuable feature of Databricks is the notebook, data factory, and ease of use."
"I like cloud scalability and data access for any type of user."
"You can spin up an Azure Databricks clustered, and integrating with it is seamless."
"I like the ability to use workspaces with other colleagues because you can work together even without seeing the other team's job, so you can create a robust solution by working together with other professionals."
"The most valuable feature of Databricks is the integration with Microsoft Azure."
"The workspaces, which are like wrappers of Docker containers, made it easy to start development environments using Domino."
"We primarily use the solution for customer retention, but there are a lot of use cases for this particular product."
"The scalability of the solution is good; I'd rate it four out of five."
 

Cons

"The server is too expensive for what you get and it is really a designer desktop on a server. It is not worth the money."
"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price of the Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"Alteryx is not very robust when it comes to working on large sets of data."
"There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search."
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality."
"The biggest limitation is that the solution doesn't allow you to do sophisticated things in terms of fiddling with their implementations of machine learning and deep learning components."
"It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."
"The integration of data could be a bit better."
"I believe that this product could be improved by becoming more user-friendly."
"CI/CD needs additional leverage and support."
"The product needs samples and templates to help invite users to see results and understand what the product can do."
"The Databricks cluster can be improved."
"Databricks' technical support takes a while to respond and could be improved."
"The product should provide more advanced features in future releases."
"It's not easy to use, and they need a better UI."
"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"The seat is too expensive."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"The product pricing is moderate."
"The price is okay. It's competitive."
"The licensing costs of Databricks is a tiered licensing regime, so it is flexible."
"The solution is a good value for batch processing and huge workloads."
"There are different versions."
"Databricks are not costly when compared with other solutions' prices."
"The pricing depends on the usage itself."
"We have only incurred the cost of our AWS cloud services. This is because during this period, Databricks provided us with an extended evaluation period, and we have not spent much money yet. We are just starting to incur costs this month, I will know more later on the full cost perspective."
