Powerful tool for cleansing, formatting, and transforming data – especially unstructured files

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. So, Alteryx Designer have significantly reduced the time I spend on data analysis tasks. Moreover, the drag-and-drop interface of Alteryx Designer improved our overall workflow.

Training has boosted custom ETL scripting and now debugging complex incremental loads needs work

The best feature Rivery offers is the ability to build custom or user-defined functions. You can even develop Python scripts to perform transformations on your data frames. This flexibility allows you to implement custom requirements, making Rivery more versatile than relying solely on in-built functions. Regarding features such as the interface, scheduling, or connectors, I found that as of 2022 when I last used it, the monitoring was good, although the debugging process for custom scripts was somewhat challenging. If we encountered issues with custom-built scripts, debugging was difficult since it used to send standard errors rather than specific ones. From what I recall, monitoring worked well, and we could connect to multiple relational and other sources, which was advantageous. A few of my colleagues and I were able to earn certifications on Rivery, which motivated us, even though we could not pursue or implement Rivery project for clients. The learning experience was very valuable as we had around seven or eight resources participating in those trainings, and they were all excited to learn about this new tool for us at the time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Alteryx Designer is its ability to select all the inputs and formulas."

"For my daily analytics needs, the entire Alteryx Designer platform is beneficial."

"The main valuable aspect is the simplicity of use across all features."

"I like Alteryx Designer's drag-and-drop feature, where you drag a component, configure it and quickly run it."

"The product is intuitive and easy to use."

"It helps them to create customized workflows, transform data, perform calculations, and consolidate multiple data sources into a target database."

"Alteryx is quite easy to use, learn, and understand as a product."

"Workflow automation, in general, is valuable."

More Alteryx Designer pros

"Connects to many APIs in the market and new ones are being added all the time."

"The solution's most valuable features are that it is quick to connect and simple to use."

"The process of using Rivery has worked very smoothly for me, and I found the tool very easy to use, allowing me to gain a lot of insights."

"Rivery has positively impacted my organization by enabling us to create a stable pipeline, and we can expand the variety of the data sources as we go very easily, with no worries, and with a lot of confidence in the fact that it can be done."

"Anyone looking into using Rivery should know it is a great product."

"Rivery has positively impacted my organization by reducing the need for a big team of data engineers and speeding up the work when we need to connect to a new data source; this can happen really fast."

"Rivery has positively impacted my organization by helping me streamline my data ingestion and transformation processes, especially in combination with Snowflake."

"The main benefit Rivery brought to my organization was the time we were able to save on development, and by using all these automation features provided by Rivery together with integration to Snowflake, we were able to solve problems."

Cons

"We discontinued using Alteryx's data science studio because it was not very user-friendly."

"The actual usage part of it needs to be explained more. It's too vague right now."

"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."

"The major concern in Alteryx Designer stems from the high costs attached to the product."

"Sometimes, while getting data from a third-party product, the solution works slowly."

"Optimizing processing times is one area I would like to see improved in Alteryx Designer. Sometimes, the workflows take an extremely long time to run. There are days when I have had to wait two to three hours for a single process to complete. There needs to be a functionality to split the processes."

"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 could move faster to create a cloud equivalent of the desktop version of Designer."

More Alteryx Designer cons

"Rivery can be improved by generally investing a bit more depth into the product, mainly in orchestration and specific features comparable to mature products."

"As an end user of Rivery, I would like to see it be less commercial for users."

"I think Rivery could be improved by having more analytical features inside."

"Lineage and an impact analysis or logic dependency are lacking."

"The key challenges I recall were related to the incremental merging logic, which was not functioning properly."

"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was unfortunately not so good in my recent data project."

"Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Alteryx Designer is a very expensive solution."

"I rate the product's pricing a two to three out of ten."

"Each license is something like $4,000."

"I rate the price of Alteryx Designer as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is extremely expensive, and ten is a highly cheap product."

"The pricing is bit expensive."

"Alteryx Designer is an expensive solution."

"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."

More Alteryx Designer pricing and cost advice

"I rate the tool's price as six out of ten if I consider the lowest price to be one and the highest price to be ten."
