Featured Reviews

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.
Filip Stefanovski - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use with good performance and collaborative features
My main suggestion for improvement centers on pricing. Introducing a tier modelled after AWS spot instances would be a game-changer. Users could bid on unused compute capacity, potentially leading to significant cost savings during off-peak hours or for less time-critical tasks. Spot instances empower users with tighter budgets or fluctuating workloads to strategically leverage lower-cost resources for development, experimentation, and background tasks. This frees up on-demand instances for truly time-sensitive work.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I believe that the ability to leverage the gallery for scalability, as well as the general data blending functionality, is most beneficial to our core-based users."
"The solution offers excellent predicting power. The accuracy and confidence have been great."
"The GUI is simple and it integrates with Python."
"Alteryx is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter."
"Shortens the time required to start analyzing data and looking for insights, minimizing the tasks that do not add value to the business and maximizing the analysis phase."
"It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis."
"The solution has been stable."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"It didn't take long to see that Saturn Cloud could scale with my needs, providing more resources when required."
"They provide a centralized space for data, code, and results."
"Saturn Cloud supports GPU as part of the environment, which is essential for many computational tasks in machine learning projects. It also allows us to edit the environment, including the image, before we start the cloud resources. This feature lets us quickly set up the environment without the hassle of moving the data and code to another cloud device."
"There is plenty of computational resources (both GPU, CPU and disk space)."
"It offered an excellent development environment while not touching our production cloud resources."
"The feature I like the most about Saturn Cloud is that it has lightning-fast CPUs."
 

Cons

"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 imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"We can't browse multiple files. When we deploy a solution on a gallery, let's say I have ten different files, and I have to upload them all at once. This is something that's difficult in the gallery. So case by case, I see some downsides, but often we do something alternative."
"Alteryx is just as complicated as coding, in my opinion."
"It should have Linux support. It currently supports only Windows. It does not support any other platform. Its price should also be lower. Their US partner management program is actually unresponsive. One of the reasons why we don't have a formalized partnership plan with them is because their partner management team is atrociously unresponsive. This is something that they need to change."
"I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved."
"We are hoping that the NLP features will also support Chinese characters."
"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"My main suggestion for improvement centers on pricing. Introducing a tier modelled after AWS spot instances would be a game-changer."
"It would be nice to have more hardware category options, like TPU coprocessors or ARM64 CPUs."
"Providing more detailed and beginner-friendly documentation, especially for advanced features, could greatly enhance the user experience."
"Saturn Cloud should include prebuilt images for advanced data science packages like LightGBM in the next release. If possible, they should also provide a Kaggle image, which contains the most common Python packages used in machine learning."
"Public Clouds integration and sandbox environments would be a true game changer."
"We'd like to have the capability for installing more libraries."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"The seat is too expensive."
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"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).​"
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
