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

"Although Alteryx is a paid software, it is equally able to provide better performance without writing a single line of code."
"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."
"The Alteryx designer has been the most useful feature in the solution."
"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"Once we got it in-house, I knew its value."
"I think the most valuable feature is the ease of use for my business scientists."
"Overall, I'd have to say the tool is pretty awesome."
"Alteryx is a simple and easy-to-use solution."
"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."
"I have seen a return on investment, especially considering the time taken to resolve the problem where we bought some support from Red Hat."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Insights is that it is dynamic."
"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 reliability is so good that I rarely find myself calling Red Hat support any longer."
"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."
"The tool is simple and easy to use. It has good support and doesn't have many outages due to the OS."
"It identifies bugs and security vulnerabilities."
 

Cons

"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"The formula we currently use in Alteryx can be automated."
"In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI."
"In terms of data extraction, during the sequel queries of servers as an example, you can structure your sequel query and it's fine, very readable, but once you run it, it crashes into one complex single line, and makes it very difficult."
"The tool could include more native connectors, such as for global ERPs, instead of requiring additional fees for these connections."
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality."
"Alteryx can improve the model management and deployment processing of large workloads."
"Although I use this product regularly, I used to code for many years and I am not a big fan of tools like Alteryx. I don't think that it's a good product, and the reason is that when the use cases get more complex, the models get exponentially larger and more complex to put together."
"The improvements, in my opinion, have to be done in the infrastructure of the Red Hat Satellite, it is very complex."
"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."
"All resources should be available on the website."
"I would like to see improvements made to the subscriptions and management of them."
"What could be improved dramatically is the ability to have it used by an enterprise, which means to interlock with Ansible Automation Platform first."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else."
"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
"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."
"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."
