Theresa McLaughlin - PeerSpot reviewer
Quick development enables seamless data processing despite occasional support issues
There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason. The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system. Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage. For instance, our licenses were temporarily lost during negotiations when an agreement couldn't be reached.
Hyunwook Kang - PeerSpot reviewer

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is efficient in optimizing our ability to get information."
"The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."
"The support is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its performance. It is a powerful solution."
"Technical support is very helpful."
"The solution has a very strong community that is involved in the product. It helps make the usage easier and helps us find answers to our questions."
"It's super easy to learn how to use it — the learning curve is very small."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its unlimited handling capabilities."
"SAP Analytics Hub offers a user-friendly interface with effortless configuration, seamless updates, and real-time availability of information. It avoids the complexities associated with batch processing, providing a smooth and efficient experience."
"This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass."
"Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually."
"What I like best about this solution is that it is built into the SAP line, making it easier to integrate with other SAP products."
"The platform's main benefit is its integration with SAP ERP data. It’s effective for data integration and integrity."
"For report scheduling, I always prefer SAP because it has the most powerful scheduling features, like sending reports to more than 1,000 customers per day. That option is not as good in Microsoft BI and in Tableau it only exists as an add-on option."
 

Cons

"The product could benefit from improved integration with visualization tools or even the inclusion of built-in visualization features."
"There are a few hiccups with specific data sets and languages or formats that the data comes in. That may be a minor problem, but we can work through it. We had some issues looking at XML format in added data, but it wasn't significant."
"There have been some issues with licensing, particularly with the increased prices. This has led some companies, including ours, to consider reducing the number of licenses or potentially discontinuing their use of Alteryx."
"It would be beneficial if Alteryx could lower its price or introduce a loyalty program for individual consultants and freelancers like me."
"When configuring target tables, it is difficult to see the full text when deciding on load operations."
"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."
"When a process completes there is a notification, but the notification does not include the process's name."
"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."
"The analytics part of SAP has not been that good up until now. They're still in the infant stage and development is still going on. SAP has some cloud analytics and they're trying to configure it in Lumira, but it's not that good at this point."
"The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved."
"Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub."
"Pricing and support are integrated into the system. However, the support process can be challenging, particularly when navigating the SAP support site, which lacks user-friendliness and ease of access."
"The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience."
"The platform could easily integrate with other ERP data solutions. Additionally, it should be faster compared to competitors in the cloud space."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a good price."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a ten, as it is highly priced."
"There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else."
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."
"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"They are pursuing a highly assertive approach to target businesses of all sizes within the industry."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The product is expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
