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.

Enables us to forecast and pull trends and has an easy installation
My rating for SAP Predictive Analytics would be an eight out of ten. If I have to be bold, I'll probably say that we're building away hours, and we are actually putting a lot of the actual predicting stuff back into the warehouse. So running it very bi-directionally. So I'm not sure what its integration features are at the moment, but that's an area we're going to look into in the next month or so.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."
"The tools are built-in; you just plug and play, drag and drop, and once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"You get more support with Alteryx, and it's good for non-sophisticated users who can benefit from the support included in the price."
"Fast data processing and cleaning."
"Using the product, we earn a lot of time, which is used to do other tasks."
"Workflows and a large number of tools were a quick QA methodology and rapid prototype creation tool."
"Alteryx has improved our organization because it provides an easy way to build machine learning models as well as to do citizen data science work."
"Technical support is very helpful."
"I think the features of the actual ability to forecast and pull trends and correlations has been really good."
"SAP Predictive Analytics is better suited for business users because it hides the complexity of the model, whereas Microsoft Azure Machine Learning provides a lot more flexibility for technical professionals to tweak the model."
"The most valuable features are the analytics and reporting."
"I have found that the solution is very stable."
"We always purchase SAP support because it is very good."
 

Cons

"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price of the Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"We are hoping that the NLP features will also support Chinese characters."
"More emphasis on extensible R and data augmentation interface design."
"Visualization: There is room to improve here."
"The scalability worries me a lot at the moment because the cost of the solution is high and it is not growing considerably. Unfortunately, we started during early COVID times and because of the economic downturn, all the cost cuttings, and everything, it is not growing as expected."
"All of the reports are migrated or exported in an Excel file, and most of the time, a business intelligence tool is required. They could have better reporting. The aesthetic could be improved."
"The desktop license is expensive."
"The interface could be improved."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
"The license fee appears to be prohibitively expensive and overly secretive, leading our clients to opt for cloud-based solutions that only charge for data storage and processing time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We use the free version of the solution. There are enterprise licenses available. It cost approximately $5,000 annually. It is an expensive solution and there are additional features that cost more money."
"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."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"It's probably on the pricey side, but they provide some really useful ways to grow and test."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
"The pricing is reasonable"
