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.

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 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."
"It is a very user-friendly product that doesn’t require a strong technical background; you can build something within an hour."
"It saves time on a lot projects. ​"
"The positive impact Alteryx has had on our organization includes our ability to automate quite a few complex ETL or data integrations, reducing coding by around 75 to 80 percent."
"Although Alteryx is a paid software, it is equally able to provide better performance without writing a single line of code."
"Alteryx offers a cognitive approach to better understand data and purposes."
"It has everything that one needs. Whatever you want to do with the data can be done with Alteryx."
"I think the most valuable feature is the ease of use for my business scientists."
"Overall, I think that this is a good product."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Red Hat Enterprise Linux are the mobile applications and getting real-time notifications."
"The reliability is so good that I rarely find myself calling Red Hat support any longer."
"I have seen a return on investment, especially considering the time taken to resolve the problem where we bought some support from Red Hat."
"It identifies bugs and security vulnerabilities."
"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."
"We use this product's built-in tracing and monitoring tools such as syslog and SAR (system activity reporter) to provide us with greater insight and visibility into what's going on."
 

Cons

"Technical support is okay and could be better. Sometimes, it takes about two to five days to hear an answer from the technical support team."
"The price is quite high, which is why there is a limitation on licenses, and not everyone has the right to use it, so if they could decrease the price, more people could use it easily."
"The learning curve is long, and there is lack of e-learning; the tool is not user-friendly to a non-technical user."
"The GUI interface functions but it could stand to be updated to a more modern look and feel."
"I mostly used it for flat files, but I have many colleagues who reported that to tune a query, in case they want to directly connect to the database, there is no option to optimize the performance of the query, as we have in Informatica."
"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."
"There are a few ways the solution could be made better. The graphical user interface could be made more friendly."
"When configuring target tables, it is difficult to see the full text when deciding on load operations."
"The improvements, in my opinion, have to be done in the infrastructure of the Red Hat Satellite, it is very complex."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes, the product has outages that affect the site's ability."
"All resources should be available on the website."
"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."
"What could be improved dramatically is the ability to have it used by an enterprise, which means to interlock with Ansible Automation Platform first."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"Its price should be lower. The key thing that we see is that talking about ROI is an important element at the time of purchase. Cost becomes a factor in every discussion. Justifying the ROI for these kinds of workflows is always a challenge, and the only way to counter the challenge is by addressing the pricing."
"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"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 has a good price."
"This is not a cheap solution but it gets you the support if you ever need it."
"RHEL is expensive. We have changed the cloud provider's subscription to a pay-as-you-go model."
"If you have a subscription to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Insights is free."
"The prices are comparable, and good for what is being provided."
"Regarding the prices, the new changes are actually not bad as it works for enterprise solutions."
