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

"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"The feature that I have found most valuable for Alteryx is its geo-referencing feature, it is very good. I use it a lot, especially for supply chain."
"Once we got it in-house, I knew its value."
"Alteryx effectively visualizes the flow of data and what happens at each stage. I also like that it's a no-code solution. I also like that you can troubleshoot certain parts of the workflow by putting them in a sandbox."
"Alteryx is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its performance. It is a powerful solution."
"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."
"The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily."
"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)."
"The feature I like the most about Saturn Cloud is that it has lightning-fast CPUs."
"It offered an excellent development environment while not touching our production cloud resources."
"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."
 

Cons

"There's a big jump in terms of pricing between license tiers. I'm not sure I understand why the price jumps are so high."
"It would be beneficial if Alteryx could lower its price or introduce a loyalty program for individual consultants and freelancers like me."
"It would be great if Alteryx could take third party tools and incorporate them."
"In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI."
"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."
"Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."
"More statistics tools: We can use to compare SPSS statistics with some automated advisory."
"Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage."
"Public Clouds integration and sandbox environments would be a true game changer."
"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."
"It would be nice to have more hardware category options, like TPU coprocessors or ARM64 CPUs."
"We'd like to have the capability for installing more libraries."
"Providing more detailed and beginner-friendly documentation, especially for advanced features, could greatly enhance the user experience."
"My main suggestion for improvement centers on pricing. Introducing a tier modelled after AWS spot instances would be a game-changer."
 

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."
"It's very expensive. I'd rate it a four out of ten in terms of the price. It's great for big companies but not for small companies."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"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."
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
