AHMAD FAIRUZ BIN ALI - PeerSpot reviewer
Head of Data Analytics COE at bank islam
Able to hold a huge amount of data in its memory, but it is very expensive
We had challenges with a very complex workflow, and we couldn't find the root cause because it caused an error in the output. We recreated the workflow, and it solved the problem. Alteryx Designer integrated seamlessly with other tools and systems in our workflow. It's not convenient for us to develop any machine learning model using Alteryx Designer. Other data science studio tools are much more advanced than the data science studio tools in Alteryx. We do maintenance on our workflow, but we try to be careful with the upgrades because we don't want any upgrades to impact our production workflows. One or two people are needed to maintain the solution. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
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

"Alteryx Designer's user interface is great, as it is very user-friendly."
"I have been using Alteryx Designer only for data modeling and data structuring."
"We use Alteryx Designer for analytics. It's quite helpful because once we set it up, we don't have to manually update or process data repeatedly. It saves time, especially for financial reporting, which is typically done monthly or quarterly. Once we set it up initially, we only need to make occasional updates if necessary."
"It's fairly easy to use and easy to implement and deploy, and also makes it very easy to fetch data."
"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."
"It helps them to create customized workflows, transform data, perform calculations, and consolidate multiple data sources into a target database."
"I like Alteryx's browser tool because you can view how your data is handled live, and there are many other valuable tools like transpose and the crosstab, so you can quickly pivot your data, and there are connections throughout the database, making it easy to create a connection and containing all the tools you need even for more complex databases."
"The product is very stable. The performance is reliable."
"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."
"The ingestion engines were pretty good."
 

Cons

"An improvement for Alteryx Designer would be faster bug fixes and updates."
"Alteryx Designer overall should be easier to use."
"When it comes to the pivoting part, the drill-through option is not there in Alteryx."
"It is too expensive for our country, and because of its high price, we can't sell Alteryx Designer in this region."
"The data engineering and integration need to be improved."
"The conditional join feature should be improved."
"The major concern in Alteryx Designer stems from the high costs attached to the product."
"An improvement for Alteryx Designer would be faster bug fixes and updates."
"The application has a difficult-to-use parsing capability, which requires a lot of reengineering when the use case isn't specifically met."
"While functional during ingestion workflows, the automation toolkit required manual processes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is priced high."
"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."
"The product is a bit expensive, it should be looked into."
"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."
"Alteryx is a little bit expensive compared to competing solutions."
"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."
"Each license is something like $4,000."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Alteryx Designer?
It's cheaper than Palantir, but even Alteryx is too much for small clients. It is expensive, considering the server capabilities.
What needs improvement with Alteryx Designer?
For smaller clients with ten to 15 employees, Alteryx can be expensive. The server capabilities are costly too. The technical support could also improve by being quicker in response times.
What needs improvement with TetraScience?
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 termina...

TetraScience is a platform that integrates instruments into a laboratory environment into other software applications that can help leverage the data. In most pharma companies, the application is u...
What advice do you have for others considering TetraScience?
I would approach with caution. The platform has a high knowledge gap and the proprietary nature of its parsers and crawling agents. Before approaching TetraScience, have your use case in hand and u...
