Featured Reviews

Ajay Nayak - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
WH
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

"I have been using Alteryx Designer only for data modeling and data structuring."
"The solution is easy to integrate and user-friendly."
"I like Alteryx's browser tool because you can view how your data is handled live. There are many other valuable tools like transpose and the crosstab. You can quickly pivot your data, and there are connections throughout the database. It's so easy to create a connection. If you connect to sign apps or a more complex database, the tool contains all the tools you need."
"Alteryx is quite easy to use, learn, and understand as a product."
"Alteryx Designer is stable."
"When you open a raw Excel file, it can be hard to look at everything in detail. Alteryx makes it much easier to go through the data, summarize it, and use different tools for analysis."
"Workflow automation, in general, is valuable."
"I believe in the ability to connect to multiple data sources, as well as the ease of use to transform data and output data in a variety of formats."
"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."
 

Cons

"The actual usage part of it needs to be explained more. It's too vague right now."
"Alteryx Designer overall should be easier to use."
"Alteryx Designer's pricing and support could be improved."
"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."
"Alteryx's data science and machine learning capabilities are where it loses out to DataIQ."
"When it comes to the pivoting part, the drill-through option is not there in Alteryx."
"It would be simpler if they provided a component where you could simply enter some parameters and see the results."
"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."
"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Alteryx Designer is a very expensive solution."
"I rate Alteryx Designer a six out of ten for pricing."
"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."
