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.

Stands out for its user-friendly interface, robust community support, competitive pricing and strategic approach to improving data accuracy

Its greatest asset lies in its user-friendly interface, specifically within the Talend Open Studio, known for its ease of use and familiarity among users. The robust community support proves invaluable when encountering challenges, providing a reliable resource for issue resolution. Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users. The most valuable feature lies in the capability to assign data quality issues to different stakeholders, facilitating the tracking and resolution of defective work. This functionality enables a streamlined process for identifying, assigning, and subsequently addressing data quality issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."

"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."

"Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form."

"The modeling features are very good."

"It's super easy to learn how to use it — the learning curve is very small."

"Alteryx is a simple and easy-to-use solution."

More Alteryx pros

"tLogRows are also great for finding bad data."

"The file fetch process is impeccable."

"It lowers the amount of time in development from weeks to a day."

"It is saving a lot of time. Today, we can mask around a hundred million records in 10 minutes. Masking is one of the key pieces that is used heavily by the business and IT folks. Normally in the software development life cycle, before you project anything into the production environment, you have to test it in the test environment to make sure that when the data goes into production, it works, but these are all production files. For example, we acquired a new company or a new state for which we're going to do the entire back office, which is related to claims processing, payments, and member enrollment every year. If you get the production data and process it again, it becomes a compliance issue. Therefore, for any migrations that are happening, we have developed a new capability called pattern masking. This feature looks at those files, masks that information, and processes it through the system. With this, there is no PHI and PII element, and there is data integrity across different systems. It has seamless integration with different databases. It has components using which you can easily integrate with different databases on the cloud or on-premise. It is a drag and drop kind of tool. Instead of writing a lot of Java code or SQL queries, you can just drag and drop things. It is all very pictorial. It easily tells you where the job is failing. So, you can just go quickly and figure out why it is happening and then fix it."

"It reduces the QA effort immensely by handling most of the test scenarios in a reusable way."

"It offers advanced features that allow you to create custom patterns and use regular expressions to identify data issues."

"I really like the fact that there are no out-of-the-box solutions regarding the development of jobs. Other vendors may have modules which cleanse your addresses. In Talend, you have the freedom to completely develop the process yourself. This can be tricky, but it also makes it fun."

"The solution enables robust data matching, merging, survivorship, and Data Stewardship that can be a part of data quality workflows or true master data management."

Cons

"Configuration is very low."

"The software is not fully optimized."

"Alteryx could be improved in the area of analytics and central governance."

"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 product could benefit from improved integration with visualization tools or even the inclusion of built-in visualization features."

"Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."

"It's a technical product and those that don't have proper training will have to deal with a steep learning curve."

"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."

More Alteryx cons

"SQL for displaying underlying data in non-match results does not work."

"There are more functions in a non-streamlined manner, which could be refined to arrive at a better off-the-shelf functions."

"There are too many functions which could be streamlined."

"When we upgraded to Version 6.4.1, we tried using a GIT repository instead of a SVN repository. After a few incidents where things disappeared and changes were not saved, we decided to go back to a SVN repository."

"In redundancy analysis, the query is failing to bring non-matched records. This query is an internal script. There is no way (that I know of) to fix this syntax error for future runs."

"In terms of the solution's technical support, the interactions were satisfactory, but there is room for improvement, especially in managing expectations."

"You can't join more than two tables for analysis."

"They don't have any AI capabilities. Talend DQ is specifically for data quality, which only has data profiling. With Talend DQ, I cannot generate any reports today, so I need an ETL tool. It provides general Excel files, or I have to create some views. If instead of buying a new tool, Talend provides a reporting capability or solution, it would be great. It will reduce the development effort for creating these kinds of reports. We also manage the infrastructure for Talend. From the licensing perspective, for cloud, they only have seat licenses where one person is tied to one license, but for on-premise, they have concurrent licenses. It would be really awesome if they can provide concurrent licenses for the cloud so that if one person is not there, somebody else can use that license. Currently, it is not possible unless a person deactivates his or her license and moves the same seat license to someone else. We are one of the biggest customers in the central zone of the US for Talend, and this is the feedback that we have provided them again and again, but they come back and say that they aren't able to provide concurrent licenses on the cloud. In version 7.3, there is a feature for tokenization and de-tokenization of data. This is the feature that we are looking for. It is useful if somebody wants to see what we have masked and how do we demask it. This feature is not there in version 7.1. There are also a few other capabilities on the cloud, but we don't yet have a big footprint in the cloud."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."

"The cost of the solution could be reduced."

"In order to have designers, and, if you want to collaborate, you have to buy a server. If the designer is $5,000, and if you want a server, you have to pay $80,000."

"The price could be better."

"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."

"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."

"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."

"Alteryx is an expensive solution."

More Alteryx pricing and cost advice

"It's a subscription-based platform, we renew it every year."

"We did not purchase a separate license for DQ. It is part of our data platform suite, and I believe it is well-priced."

"Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users."

"It is cheaper than Informatica. Talend Data Quality costs somewhere between $10,000 to $12,000 per year for a seat license. It would cost around $20,000 per year for a concurrent license. It is the same for the whole big data solution, which comes with Talend DI, Talend DQ, and TDM."

"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."
