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.

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

"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"Alteryx has helped us spend more time identifying results instead of performing analysis manually. It has helped us in our loading process, including scrubbing data and identifying data elements that need to be corrected. It enables us to understand our data sets a lot better."
"Alteryx offers a cognitive approach to better understand data and purposes."
"Our analyst’s time was cut from two days to one hour of data blending and the output was amazing!"
"Technical support is very helpful."
"The data transformation feature is the most valuable. The ability to ingest data, visualize data, and transform that data is useful."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"If you are looking for a self-service data analytics tool, Alteryx is a good solution."
"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."
"Overall, I think that this is a good product."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux has made significant improvements in terms of storage. You can mount an 18 terabyte file system. It also supports NFS shares and the SIP share for the photos. There have been many features added since RHEL 6. It's more user-friendly and graphical."
"The product is optimized for resource utilization."
"RHEL is the most reliable Linux flavor in terms of enterprise governance. I prefer it for its code stability, support, and integration. The lifecycle management features help us maintain compliance and keep the components updated."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Insights is that it is dynamic."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"There are a few ways the solution could be made better. The graphical user interface could be made more friendly."
"I think the only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI."
"Pricing flexibility can be better, especially for small teams and organizations, as the current licensing cost can be a barrier for wider adoption."
"Alteryx can improve in data science. They have to have more features and components in the data science aspect because they claim to be a data science tool. However, in order to be more competitive, they have to improve on their data science propositions. Thre are other solutions on the market, such as other players in the market, Data2Go or DataIQ, and Alteryx needs to catch up."
"The gallery could improve in Alteryx. Additionally, if there was a Conditional Join feature it would be beneficial. Since I do not have this feature I have to use Python scripts."
"I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved."
"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."
"New products need better documentation. The websites also have a single sign-on to get you from one side to the other. As a partner, I had a problem finding out how I needed to connect and to which side of the solution."
"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."
"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."
"A lot of improvement is required to get security compliance, especially with the privacy of the data, managing it, and storing it."
"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 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."
"The improvements, in my opinion, have to be done in the infrastructure of the Red Hat Satellite, it is very complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"It has a good price."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"ROI is huge. There are some secondary benefits, like analysts getting their post 5 PM time back or the ability to shorten all closing processes to a half or less."
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"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).​"
"It's probably on the pricey side, but they provide some really useful ways to grow and test."
"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."
"RHEL is expensive. We have changed the cloud provider's subscription to a pay-as-you-go model."
"This is not a cheap solution but it gets you the support if you ever need it."
