Automated complex ETL workflows have reduced coding effort and improved data integration
One area for improvement is in integrating mostly the data which comes from telemetry, where I can see some sort of improvisations can be made. It is a massive amount of unstructured data, and I believe Alteryx is able to handle it, but there can be some improvements. Suggestions for improvements in Alteryx include areas for increasing efficiency, particularly in processing telemetry data, which involves dealing with large volumes of unstructured data. Additionally, I believe when we use filter tools immediately after the input source, there can be slowdowns when handling massive data. The user experience of Alteryx is generally good, but there are areas for improvement from a user's perspective, particularly regarding user interface enhancements. I think there's always room for improvement, but otherwise, Alteryx has been a great tool for me. We haven't experienced significant disruptions while increasing data volumes, though I sense there could be performance issues as data grows exponentially. This is an area that could use improvement in Alteryx.

User-friendly and accessible for anyone with computer knowledge and logical thinking
There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool. Currently, it provides basic reports and the ability to create graphs and dashboards, but I'm looking forward to more robust analytics. The plan is to enhance this feature in 2024, around Q2 or Q3, which would save us from relying on external tools like Power BI for insights.

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."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx Designer is its ability to select all the inputs and formulas."
"Overall, the solution as a whole is extremely useful."
"The ease-of-use allows non-technical business users to directly create their own solutions without the use of additional development resources."
"It's fairly easy to use and easy to implement and deploy, and also makes it very easy to fetch data."
"It has an easy setup process."
"I believe that the ability to leverage the gallery for scalability, as well as the general data blending functionality, is most beneficial to our core-based users."
"The initial setup was easy, overall; it's easy to use and easy to learn and you don't have to be a data scientist or an engineer to use it, which makes the setup very straightforward as the overall design is very approachable."
"It is a reliable solution."
"It is among the best, even if not widely known."
"Back in the day, we could only get reports and analyze what happened after the fact, but today now we can generate real-time insights. Transformation Manager feeds your data science projects. We generate models and then give them to the clients, so they can come up with real-time predictions and recommendations in addition to reporting."
"Transformation Manager is the backbone of every data pipeline these days because the solution has been on the market for 20 to 30 years, and we use it for various industries, including financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, etc."
 

Cons

"Configuration is very low and is not good for the customer end."
"The server is too expensive for what you get and it is really a designer desktop on a server. It is not worth the money."
"The formula we currently use in Alteryx can be automated."
"Alteryx can improve the model management and deployment processing of large workloads."
"They can provide some pre-built tools for predictive analytics instead of us having to build all the tools. It should also be improved from the visualization aspect. It should have better visualization capabilities. There are tools out there that have better visualization capabilities, which Alteryx is lacking currently."
"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 product pricing is a concern. I use Alteryx because my company provides it, but it would be too expensive if I had to pay for it myself."
"The solution is improving continuously. They have, for example, just added automatic insights. If they continue to improve on their overall service offering, that would be ideal."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool."
"We get decent support. It's okay but not great."
"Transformation Manager reporting could be better. There are better options for reporting tools these days. We use Microsoft BI sometimes, but Tableau is becoming too expensive. Microsoft BI's visualization features are maturing."
"They should build a functional architecture based on queuing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"The product is a bit expensive, it should be looked into."
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"ROI is huge. There are some secondary benefits, like analysts getting their post 5 PM time back or the ability to shorten all closing processes to a half or less."
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"We use the free version of the solution. There are enterprise licenses available. It cost approximately $5,000 annually. It is an expensive solution and there are additional features that cost more money."
"It is $4,000 a year, so it is cheap versus other solutions. It also accomplishes three times the volume on the job in the same time (as the other solutions).​"
"It is an expensive solution."
