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.
Doug Isabelle - PeerSpot reviewer
Good management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments
In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many rouge devices broadcasting, and the devices is getting interference from another channel. The only to fix this is to reboot and we need something that reboots on the fly. We also need better security for VLANs and VPNs. There are issues with certain Apple devices. Technical support is not very helpful. The initial setup, which seemed straightforward at first, had to be redone. This may not have been the fault of the product. We're not sure what went wrong.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers excellent predicting power. The accuracy and confidence have been great."
"The drag-and-drop functionality, the ready-to-use analytics module, and the ability to track my data pipelines visually are the solution's most valuable features."
"It is efficient in optimizing our ability to get information."
"There are a lot of good customization capabilities."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"The data transformation feature is the most valuable. The ability to ingest data, visualize data, and transform that data is useful."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"Alteryx's connectivity is essential. We like the ability to connect the solution to multiple sources. It's easier than other data modeling and extraction solutions. It's built on a self-service concept, so it's easy for anyone to open the tool and directly import or export data from it."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
 

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."
"Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage."
"The principal problem is the pricing. They're expensive products."
"In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI."
"The only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"A colleague of mind mentioned that the solution should have more options for the visualization of data."
"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability."
"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."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
 

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."
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"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."
"There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
