Automated complex ETL workflows have reduced coding effort and improved data integration
One area for improvement is in integrating mostly the data which comes from telemetry, where I can see some sort of improvisations can be made. It is a massive amount of unstructured data, and I believe Alteryx is able to handle it, but there can be some improvements. Suggestions for improvements in Alteryx include areas for increasing efficiency, particularly in processing telemetry data, which involves dealing with large volumes of unstructured data. Additionally, I believe when we use filter tools immediately after the input source, there can be slowdowns when handling massive data. The user experience of Alteryx is generally good, but there are areas for improvement from a user's perspective, particularly regarding user interface enhancements. I think there's always room for improvement, but otherwise, Alteryx has been a great tool for me. We haven't experienced significant disruptions while increasing data volumes, though I sense there could be performance issues as data grows exponentially. This is an area that could use improvement in Alteryx.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has excellent drag and drop functionality. There's no need for coding."
"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."
"Alteryx significantly reduces the time spent searching for specific information."
"The connection feature is quite useful to our organization; we connect with Microsoft SQL databases, Oracle databases, SharePoint lists, and Outlook email servers, and the stability and scalability have been very good with no issues."
"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"The product's most valuable features include its ease of use for non-technical users and machine learning capabilities."
"Geo features have made spatial mapping large retail universes possible."
"The amount of manual labor that we're saving by writing those workflows is huge."
"FICO OM is very flexible in terms of development, with rapid application development options."
 

Cons

"From a commercial standpoint, more options should be available for pricing. The licensing model needs to be specific."
"The next feature release should include easier reporting."
"The solution could work on the BI side of the tool to make it a bit better."
"There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search."
"A feature which allows the user to be able to click on an output (in a file browser) and see the creation of the module would be fantastic."
"Due to some complexities in Alteryx, we are moving away from it."
"More emphasis on extensible R and data augmentation interface design."
"They can provide some pre-built tools for predictive analytics instead of us having to build all the tools. It should also be improved from the visualization aspect. It should have better visualization capabilities. There are tools out there that have better visualization capabilities, which Alteryx is lacking currently."
"Customer service is below average."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for this solution."
"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."
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"​Very transparent.​"
"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"In order to have designers, and, if you want to collaborate, you have to buy a server. If the designer is $5,000, and if you want a server, you have to pay $80,000."
"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).​"
