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.

Have found limited automation capabilities while configuration has remained complex despite reliable monitoring features
In terms of configuration, Red Hat Insights could use some improvement. When I deploy Red Hat, the installation means a pure vanilla installation where you run and install a product out of the box, but deployment involves configuration plus all necessary tooling to run that product, which requires human input to complete the installation, configurations, and integration. Red Hat Insights has very limited automation; it only detects anomalies and triggers corrective actions for compliance issues, something which I found lacking when compared to other tools I've used.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."
"Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form."
"I would recommend the solution 100%. I really think it is a better platform than competitors."
"The most valuable feature is user-friendliness, as Alteryx can be used by those without any coding experience or experienced data scientists as it has the functionality to embed R and Python scripts."
"Alteryx offers a cognitive approach to better understand data and purposes."
"Alteryx has positively impacted my organization by saving time, improving accuracy, and enabling better decision-making."
"Although Alteryx is a paid software, it is equally able to provide better performance without writing a single line of code."
"I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Insights that I have found is the proactive information on issues that you don't see but are possibly going to happen in the environment."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Insights is that it is dynamic."
"The reliability is so good that I rarely find myself calling Red Hat support any longer."
"The tool is simple and easy to use. It has good support and doesn't have many outages due to the OS."
"Red Hat support is very good; their response regarding SLAs has improved significantly in India, and I have no complaints about the support I continue to receive."
"Red Hat support is very good; their response regarding SLAs has improved significantly in India, and I have no complaints about the support I continue to receive."
"RHEL enables us to deploy applications and emerging workloads across bare-metal and virtualized environments and I find those workloads to be extremely reliable. The reliability is so good that I rarely find myself calling Red Hat support any longer. Support is the first benefit of using RHEL, but the second thing is that the platform is so stable that the need to use support is negligible."
"The product is optimized for resource utilization."
 

Cons

"The solution just lacks in terms of data visualization; that is why we use Tableau and Qlik in our organization."
"Alteryx needs to focus on the supply chain aspect since detecting financial figures and data anomalies is currently insufficient."
"From a commercial standpoint, more options should be available for pricing. The licensing model needs to be specific."
"There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason."
"Alteryx is not very robust when it comes to working on large sets of data."
"When the workflows are huge and complex, it may take some time to refresh it."
"Alteryx is just as complicated as coding, in my opinion."
"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"The improvements, in my opinion, have to be done in the infrastructure of the Red Hat Satellite, it is very complex."
"Red Hat Insights has very limited automation; it only detects anomalies and triggers corrective actions for compliance issues, something which I found lacking when compared to other tools I've used."
"I would like to see improvements made to the subscriptions and management of them."
"I also want the co-pilot to provide more granular control and more features in the GUI, so we can have one configuration from the GUI itself. It would be helpful to have a feature similar to the one in Windows where we can manage all the net flows from one console in a single pane of glass and install it on-premises like an admin center. It would be great if Red Hat had some kind of admin center to manage all the RHEL boxes without using an additional product like Satellite or something, we could use the co-pilot on all the systems to monitor the dashboard."
"There is potential for improvement when it comes to ease of use. It has become easier to use over the years but could be better still. Linux, in general, has never been a simple solution. It's usually a more complex solution than something like Windows. If there is a downside, it's that it is more complex than some of the other solutions."
"AIX will be out of support in the next few years, so that is a problem because a lot of the clinical apps use AIX."
"The cockpit server doesn't work and is useless. I don't like the images shown in GCP. I prefer the ones in AWS. It seems like the solution is in tune with what we deploy on the private cloud."
"A lot of improvement is required to get security compliance, especially with the privacy of the data, managing it, and storing it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"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."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."
"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."
"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"This is not a cheap solution but it gets you the support if you ever need it."
"Regarding the prices, the new changes are actually not bad as it works for enterprise solutions."
"RHEL is expensive. We have changed the cloud provider's subscription to a pay-as-you-go model."
"The prices are comparable, and good for what is being provided."
"If you have a subscription to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Insights is free."
