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.

Connects to any data source from any region and offers unified access
There are no specific projects supported by Starburst regarding AI initiatives or machine learning projects. In the future, if we have all the data available, we can definitely capitalize on AI/ML and LLM capabilities to summarize data and gain insights. That's our future goal, but we haven't reached that point yet. There should be support for REST API data sources to access data from the web. We often have data coming in and communicate with data sources via REST API calls. I don't see that capability in Starburst currently; everything is through JDBC or ODBC. If Starburst could seamlessly access data using REST API capabilities, it would be a game-changer. The self-service data management features, like self-service materialized views, are great, but they can be a bit complex for basic users to understand.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For my daily analytics needs, the entire Alteryx Designer platform is beneficial."
"Previously I have used consultants for the implementation but I can now do it myself."
"Predictive models, which are easy to use, and help a lot with fast design and deployment​."
"Our analyst’s time was cut from two days to one hour of data blending and the output was amazing!"
"It has great UI."
"I think the most valuable feature is the ease of use for my business scientists."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"Alteryx allowed us to access all the data, blend it, and output it as a dashboard for the user to access any time they needed it."
"We have noticed improvements in performance using Starburst Enterprise. It handles complex data, including reading and partitioning files. We can add a new catalog to Starburst Enterprise by providing connection details and service account information. This allows us to integrate with existing tools, such as the Snowflake database, which we use for data protection in our project."
"It's very scalable, fast performing, and supports many catalogs."
 

Cons

"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability."
"There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason."
"The price of the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The desktop license is expensive."
"Alteryx is just as complicated as coding, in my opinion."
"The actual usage part of it needs to be explained more. It's too vague right now."
"A feature which allows the user to be able to click on an output (in a file browser) and see the creation of the module would be fantastic."
"This product really needs to improve its ease of use."
"Starburst Enterprise could improve by offering additional features similar to those provided by other SQL query tools. For example, incorporating functionalities like pivot tables would make it more feasible to use."
"There should be support for REST API data sources to access data from the web."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"The tool is priced high."
"Alteryx is a little bit expensive compared to competing solutions."
"The seat is too expensive."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"It's probably on the pricey side, but they provide some really useful ways to grow and test."
"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"I haven't personally dealt with the pricing aspects first-hand, but from what I understand, it largely depends on the specifics of your setup, especially the machines you use on AWS. The cost of using Starburst Enterprise can vary based on the amount of data you're processing and the type of machines you opt for, whether on AWS or another cloud platform."
