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.

Solid multi-ingestion tool but with poor exception handling
The major pain point with Zaloni is that their exception handling is not good. If any event happens (an event is when the job stops in the middle of the process), it doesn't tell you at which point it failed and it doesn't tell the operations team how they should take corrective actions unless you call Zaloni and then identify the issues. That is one issue. Another issue is that sometimes your jobs fail and if you run it a second time, it will go through. A third area it could be improved is the deployment process. When you want to deploy anything, it has a lot of manual processes. For example, you have to create your password in an encrypted format, and then you have to use a lot of manual deployment process. They should actually be building something else, like using Jenkins or automating their process. I have suggested to them that they have to improve their deployment process because they want everyone to run a manual deployment. It takes a lot of time, about half a day, for any single deployment. Then test it, then it might not work, and then reverting back is not easy because of the manual deployment process. I think in recent versions they added a lot of upgrades and additional features including a lot of integrations. Before it was just AWS, later they extended it to Azure. I'm not sure how they have extended it to GCP. It has some built-in features and a lot of improvements now because the UI and the features were not easy to navigate. Regarding showing the metrics, it's okay. I will say it's neither easy nor hard, there is whatever is required. Lastly, on the governance side, it's not very good. We faced some issues with the Ranger version. Ranger was an authentication tool on big data and Zaloni had some compatibility issues with the Ranger at that time. Later they said those are all going to be resolved, but at that time it had some issues. I'm not sure whether it was working with the Sentry or not.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The connection feature is quite useful to our organization; we connect with Microsoft SQL databases, Oracle databases, SharePoint lists, and Outlook email servers, and the stability and scalability have been very good with no issues."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"The scheduling feature for the automation is excellent."
"The solution has excellent drag and drop functionality, there's no need for coding, and there are nodes ready for us to use as well, which makes everything extremely easy and the user-friendliness a big draw for us."
"The most valuable feature for me is integration."
"It's super easy to learn how to use it — the learning curve is very small."
"The positive impact Alteryx has had on our organization includes our ability to automate quite a few complex ETL or data integrations, reducing coding by around 75 to 80 percent."
"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 most valuable feature is the ability to map data and write workflows with logic inside them."
"The entire need was to ingest it into big data and Zaloni was the fastest product to test and implement into production."
"You can create a lot of ingestions based on the file levels or based on the time."
 

Cons

"If there is any way to make the learning curve less steep, that would be ideal."
"The biggest limitation is that the solution doesn't allow you to do sophisticated things in terms of fiddling with their implementations of machine learning and deep learning components."
"It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx."
"Add inbuilt interactive visualization in Alteryx."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."
"The solution could improve in the visualization."
"Deep learning models are not currently supported."
"When we have gone to the support team because something is wrong with the product, I would say that it has not been easy for them to sort things out and quickly give us a patch."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"The major pain point with Zaloni is that their exception handling is not good."
"The major pain point with Zaloni is that their exception handling is not good.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"The seat is too expensive."
"We use the free version of the solution. There are enterprise licenses available. It cost approximately $5,000 annually. It is an expensive solution and there are additional features that cost more money."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."
"While it offers extensive features, including predictive analytics, for those who mainly use it for data preparation and blending, the cost can be prohibitive."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
