An easy-to-use automation solution with satisfying customer support
Sometimes, while getting data from a third-party product, like data sources that are not present in your system, Alteryx works a bit slowly. Even if you have a good configuration and you are pulling data from an SQL server like SAP, then the solution also has a slow work process. It shouldn't be that much slow if you are pulling ten thousand records, it should not take thirty minutes.

A seamless all-in-one solution
This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything. With other solutions, you'll need a separate platform for data ingestion, manipulation, etc. Then you'll need another tool for reporting. Palantir Gotham literally does it all. It generates a report regardless of the format. It can seamlessly generate it after the data has been collected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has great UI."
"The main valuable aspect is the simplicity of use across all features."
"The product is intuitive and easy to use."
"The solution is easy to integrate and user-friendly."
"It's fairly easy to use and easy to implement and deploy, and also makes it very easy to fetch data."
"For my daily analytics needs, the entire Alteryx Designer platform is beneficial."
"I mainly use Alteryx Designer for automation purposes."
"The features I found most valuable are the preparation features – the Join and the Transform."
"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."
 

Cons

"Its cost can sometimes be a drawback."
"Alteryx Designer is not as fast as SSIS and is not good for large datasets. It also needs to improve database procedures. Though it is easy to use, it is limited in terms of technical aspects."
"I would like to be able to include small snippets of code inside of the solution. The tool has only drag-and-drop features to make it easy to use, but sometimes I feel like this makes it more complicated."
"Alteryx needs to improve its web governance."
"We need more documentation."
"The conditional join feature should be improved."
"Alteryx's data science and machine learning capabilities are where it loses out to DataIQ."
"It is too expensive for our country, and because of its high price, we can't sell Alteryx Designer in this region."
"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licenses are expensive, making it difficult to consider acquiring additional licenses to the existing ones."
"Alteryx Designer is an expensive solution."
"The product is a bit expensive, it should be looked into."
"I rate the price of Alteryx Designer a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"Each license is something like $4,000."
"The solution is expensive. It has license fees, which are renewable every year."
"It is too expensive for our country. We are a small country, so it is too difficult to sell this solution. With Alteryx Designer, if you want to automate the data and run the flows, you have to pay more money. We were trying to automate the flows, and we found out that people have to pay 600 more for this feature, which makes it even more expensive. We are a partner for Tableau, and we are working with Tableau Prep, which is like a mini Alteryx. In Tableau Prep, you can drag and drop and make new connections with the different data sources. You can make all the connections. You can also publish a source. You don't have to pay more money with Tableau. You pay like $5 per user per month to access it."
"Alteryx is a little bit expensive compared to competing solutions."
