Alteryx Designer vs Zapier comparison

"Alteryx Designer's user interface is great, as it is very user-friendly."

"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."

"The solution's ability to hold a huge amount of data in its memory is significant."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its API connections. Its predictive analytics feature has helped us pass some ETL processes to analysts rather than developers."

"Workflow automation, in general, is valuable."

"The solution is easy to integrate and user-friendly."

"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."

"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."

"The initial setup is pretty easy to do."

"We find it effortless to set up. We really don't have to do anything other than finding the application in the Zapier catalog. And as long as the application has been re-integrated into Zapier, they're able to then just provide the connection details and hook it up."

"The solution is a SaaS and does not require a complex setup."

"The product's most valuable feature is automation."

"Zapier is user friendly and makes it easy to integrate different tools. It has a drag and drop functionality which makes it easy to connect environments."

"Zapier’s most valuable feature is its ability to interconnect applications or devices."

"There are a few valuable features, like the stability that it comes with and also the number of features that it offers. I've used other services like Pabbly, but they don't offer similar numbers of applications that Zapier has or allows to integrate with – it's maximum."

"The most valuable feature of Zapier is it saves me time doing repetitive tasks."

"If the price were reduced then it would be more competitive."

"For smaller clients with ten to 15 employees, Alteryx can be expensive."

"We need more documentation."

"Alteryx Designer's pricing and support could be improved."

"The price of the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"The product could offer more connectors and more databases with support for the in-database function."

"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."

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

"It is not worth the money if you have a little bit of a technical mind...Zapier is not able to set up different modules. When automation doesn't work, it's not that easy to find why it didn't work."

"After mapping them out, and they'd worked for a while, I've had Zapier fail."

"The pricing of the solution is quite expensive."

"It could support various languages along with Python."

"Zapier needs more YouTube or video tutorials or more training for people. That would help a lot. In particular, Zapier should have documentation for every connector. Its documentation needs to be more detailed and visual."

"The solution does not work properly when we apply filters and we get errors."

"With Zapier, improvements are required in the areas of concerns like bugs, ease of use, and documentation."

"There is room for improvement in the support. They are not responsive, and they don't take much time to get resolved."

"Alteryx Designer is an expensive solution."

"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."

"The licenses are expensive, making it difficult to consider acquiring additional licenses to the existing ones."

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

"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."

"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."

"It's very affordable."

"Think your Zaps through to make sure you don't use more Zaps than you need."

"Zapier's price is good."

"The price of Zapier is approximately $75 monthly."

"There is a free plan that is, of course, limited. However, it allows you to understand and check true scenarios for a while."

"The least expensive plan is $24 a month, and you can go all the way to $800 a month if you're a huge company using many tasks."

"Zapier is a paid service. Its license renews monthly, and Zapier will downgrade your subscription to the free version when your credit card doesn't have funds. That significantly impacts your service because everything halts completely. Zapier doesn't have any hidden costs."

"Per task, there is a monthly plan involving 15 euros...Also, in different forms, they just give you the ability to use different features. They charge 18.58 euros for the first standard plan, which includes 750 tasks. So, it is about 25 cents per task."
