Featured Reviews

Ajay Nayak - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Data Engineer at Baxter International Inc.
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.
Varun Khandavalli - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Specialist Engineering Dev. & Integration at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Efficient data integration and good automation with challenging configurability
The application has a difficult-to-use parsing capability, which requires a lot of reengineering when the use case isn't specifically met. The application also lacks capabilities within its terminal commands that are not available in their GUI. It requires a lot of configurability, which could be streamlined for an enterprise application user.

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 features are the integrated properties and integrated connectivity."
"I mainly use Alteryx Designer for automation purposes."
"Alteryx Designer is easier to use for machine learning models. However, I am not very good at Python scripts which you will need to make the machine learning scripts."
"Alteryx Designer offers a drag-and-drop interface, making it highly user-friendly. Unlike Python and Apache Airflow, which require coding, Alteryx allows users to accomplish tasks without any programming knowledge. Its simplicity makes it accessible to anyone, even those without coding experience, and this ease of use is one of Alteryx's key advantages."
"Alteryx Designer's user interface is great, as it is very user-friendly."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"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."
"We automate analytics tasks saving thousand of ours from our clients, starting with a scenario of a lot of manual work and then automating it, offering very good analytics with much more power through geospacial analytics and data science."
"The ingestion engines were pretty good."
"The crawler agents they provide, as well as TetraScience exclusive parsers, allow for specific instruments that we use in our labs with proprietary formats to extract data and put it into more standard formats for various purposes."
 

Cons

"The product could offer more connectors and more databases with support for the in-database function."
"The only thing is sometimes it can be a bit slow."
"Based on my experience, the tool could be improved by providing sample reports or pre-configured workflows tailored to specific industries, like finance. It needs to integrate an AI chatbot as well."
"Alteryx needs to improve its web governance. The gallery you use to filter the data is something else that could use some work. For instance, if you have a report connected to a database and want to filter a specific user, you should be able to suggest a specific region or a particular year. I know that the Alteryx isn't designed for data governance, but that would be great to think about."
"The conditional join feature should be improved."
"Alteryx is a little bit expensive compared to competing solutions."
"When it comes to the pivoting part, the drill-through option is not there in Alteryx."
"If the price were reduced then it would be more competitive."
"While functional during ingestion workflows, the automation toolkit required manual processes."
"The application has a difficult-to-use parsing capability, which requires a lot of reengineering when the use case isn't specifically met."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is priced high."
"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."
"Alteryx Designer is a very expensive solution."
"Each license is something like $4,000."
"The licenses are expensive, making it difficult to consider acquiring additional licenses to the existing ones."
"The pricing is bit expensive."
"The solution is expensive. It has license fees, which are renewable every year."
