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.""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."

More Alteryx Cons →

"I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes.""I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums.""The initial version we purchased only ran on Windows servers, which was less than ideal for our DevOps team. I believe that has been remedied in the latest release.""The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing.""At present there are additional costs involved if we wish to share our data queues within this solution, which we would like to see removed.""Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T""I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data.""They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard."
