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 product's Macros probably are one of the most useful aspects."
"It offered quick development, with the ability to process large datasets."
"Alteryx has helped us spend more time identifying results instead of performing analysis manually. It has helped us in our loading process, including scrubbing data and identifying data elements that need to be corrected. It enables us to understand our data sets a lot better."
"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."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"The data transformation feature is the most valuable. The ability to ingest data, visualize data, and transform that data is useful."
"The drag and drop and layout is simple to understand, with intuitive names of features."
"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

"The next feature release should include easier reporting."
"The only weakness I would say is on the visualization side of having that dynamic incapability."
"When configuring target tables, it is difficult to see the full text when deciding on load operations."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"The interface could be improved."
"There have been some issues with licensing, particularly with the increased prices. This has led some companies, including ours, to consider reducing the number of licenses or potentially discontinuing their use of Alteryx."
"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."
"There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"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."
"​Very transparent.​"
"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."
"There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else."
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"While it offers extensive features, including predictive analytics, for those who mainly use it for data preparation and blending, the cost can be prohibitive."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
