Senior Staff Cyber Security Cloud Data Architect at GE Healthcare
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.

Automated data collection has replaced manual emails and now connects business forms to back-end reports
Prophecy can be improved, as right now the form is very limited. We have to do a lot of manual entry with the form to get it set up. We have a lot of things that change year over year, so I have to go in there and manually play around with it, manually changing this and that. Having dynamic forms, having the forms connect to back-end data, and basically making the forms more streamlined would be my need from Prophecy. Everything else on the back end, the pipelines, and those types of things have been pretty easy to understand. I think once you get things set up, I've been very impressed with it. The only improvement at least for my side would be the form.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main benefits that Alteryx provides for me are that it is easier to use, I do not have to code anything, so it is a non-coding tool, and it saves my time in that aspect."
"Alteryx is so advanced. It's just drag and drop."
"The solution has excellent drag and drop functionality, there's no need for coding, and there are nodes ready for us to use as well, which makes everything extremely easy and the user-friendliness a big draw for us."
"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 filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."
"The initial setup was easy, overall; it's easy to use and easy to learn and you don't have to be a data scientist or an engineer to use it, which makes the setup very straightforward as the overall design is very approachable."
"Once we got it in-house, I knew its value."
"Alteryx significantly reduces the time spent searching for specific information."
"The form feature of Prophecy is so valuable for our team because it saves us a lot of time."
"Prophecy has positively impacted my organization by greatly speeding up development time and providing capabilities of using DBT alongside functionalities associated with that, making it a very good tool to avoid coding much and utilize AI with the graphical tools available without needing to code."
 

Cons

"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."
"There are a few ways the solution could be made better. The graphical user interface could be made more friendly."
"I'd like it to be easier to work with PDF."
"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."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"Based on my experience, I would not recommend Alteryx to others. I would encourage developing internal capabilities over using Alteryx as a solution."
"The workflow and pipeline need to improve."
"I think they should really work on integrating or have a capacity to integrate some algorithmic code. I think that's one of the most important things they need to be doing."
"Prophecy can be improved, as right now the form is very limited."
"Prophecy is pretty stable, but there are often some unexpected issues that arise, especially performance issues or problems with Airflow on deployments."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's very expensive. I'd rate it a four out of ten in terms of the price. It's great for big companies but not for small companies."
"​Very transparent.​"
"While it offers extensive features, including predictive analytics, for those who mainly use it for data preparation and blending, the cost can be prohibitive."
"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 designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"The seat is too expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
