Featured Reviews

ManojBehera - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Staff Cyber Security Cloud Data Architect at GE Healthcare
Automated complex ETL workflows have reduced coding effort and improved data integration
One area for improvement is in integrating mostly the data which comes from telemetry, where I can see some sort of improvisations can be made. It is a massive amount of unstructured data, and I believe Alteryx is able to handle it, but there can be some improvements. Suggestions for improvements in Alteryx include areas for increasing efficiency, particularly in processing telemetry data, which involves dealing with large volumes of unstructured data. Additionally, I believe when we use filter tools immediately after the input source, there can be slowdowns when handling massive data. The user experience of Alteryx is generally good, but there are areas for improvement from a user's perspective, particularly regarding user interface enhancements. I think there's always room for improvement, but otherwise, Alteryx has been a great tool for me. We haven't experienced significant disruptions while increasing data volumes, though I sense there could be performance issues as data grows exponentially. This is an area that could use improvement in Alteryx.
Anirban Chatterjee - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager at Deloitte
Provides superior integration capabilities and ability to handle complex data transformations 
One area for improvement in the solution is the ability to manually update individual rows or columns of data once it has been uploaded. Any correction requires reloading the entire dataset from the source, which can be inefficient. They should include a feature for granular data updates, allowing users to edit specific entries without reloading entire datasets.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Alteryx helps me do a lot of automation. The best thing about Alteryx is that you don't have to repeat the workflow over and over again. Unlike Excel, where you need to write formulas for each new file, Alteryx follows a consistent process. You can schedule and automate the workflow, even if the files change."
"The drag-and-drop features are useful for data scientists who do not like to code because it is already in the system."
"It is a very user-friendly product that doesn’t require a strong technical background; you can build something within an hour."
"The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily."
"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."
"The three data signs and data engineering are great features."
"Geo features have made spatial mapping large retail universes possible."
"Alteryx integrates well; I can read data from a database on the web and import it into my Alteryx database, and it is very easy to use and quite user-friendly, which I enjoy."
"The solution is stable and reliable, with minimal issues affecting its performance."
"The product is easier to use compared to other applications."
"I really like the flexibility the solution provides in terms of data transformation."
"Feature-wise, I feel that the solution's stability is good."
"The customer service and support are pretty good."
 

Cons

"The server is too expensive for what you get and it is really a designer desktop on a server. It is not worth the money."
"It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."
"It would be nice if they can provide Alteryx with more options for In-DB connectivity. That functionality is there, but it doesn't include all software we are connecting."
"Mastering Alteryx, a comprehensive solution, takes time. However, once you have gained proficiency with its layout and how to drag, drop, and connect components, it becomes remarkably easy, yet still thorough."
"Technical support is okay and could be better. Sometimes, it takes about two to five days to hear an answer from the technical support team."
"There are no ready models to use in analytics."
"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."
"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."
"One area for improvement in the solution is the ability to manually update individual rows or columns of data once it has been uploaded."
"There is not much flexibility in how we can add external data within Workday Prisma Analytics."
"When you create certain objects, a lot of the time, the fields are text. They’re not numeric, date, or any other field type"
"The visualization techniques must be upgraded."
"It is not a very scalable product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"It has a good price."
"The price could be better."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"If one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the tool's price as a one. The tool is expensive."
"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 is an expensive solution."
"The solution is very expensive."
"Based on whatever I have heard, Workday Prism Analytics is considered an expensive tool."
"I do not know of the licensing cost, but there are additional costs like 5,00,000 for recruitment modules."
