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.

Fast document parsing has boosted culture insights and now improves HR policy intelligence
We are now using Unstructured every day, and it is useful when we want answers and AI to be used on a PDF or something similar. We use Unstructured to convert it into a vector database to make retrieval augmentation or any kind of AI processes easy. The document parsing stands out, as the document ingestion is very fast in Unstructured, 20 to 40% faster than the industry products available. If HR wants to upload a PDF on our platform, we use Unstructured to digest the data, and it is 20 to 40% faster than other solutions. The faster document ingestion has resulted in customer satisfaction, leading to higher quality answers using AI that improved customer satisfaction and NPS score. NPS has improved by at least 10 to 15 points since we started using Unstructured, not only for data digestion but also for retrieving data when we have to use AI or RAG.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Alteryx helps me do a lot of automation. The best thing about Alteryx is that you don't have to repeat the workflow over and over again. Unlike Excel, where you need to write formulas for each new file, Alteryx follows a consistent process. You can schedule and automate the workflow, even if the files change."
"The drag-and-drop features are useful for data scientists who do not like to code because it is already in the system."
"The most valuable features are the integrated properties and integrated connectivity."
"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"Alteryx Designer's user interface is great, as it is very user-friendly."
"We are taking the data from disparate systems and transforming and making the data available for further visualization."
"It gives the power back to the end-users."
"Alteryx significantly reduces the time spent searching for specific information."
"The faster document ingestion has resulted in customer satisfaction, leading to higher quality answers using AI that improved customer satisfaction and NPS score."
 

Cons

"When it comes to the pivoting part, the drill-through option is not there in Alteryx."
"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."
"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."
"Alteryx's data science and machine learning capabilities are where it loses out to DataIQ."
"Alteryx Designer overall should be easier to use."
"Improving the key-based sign-on process and making it more user-friendly would be a benefit."
"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"The software is not fully optimized."
"Cost is something that needs to be factored for scaling use cases because we do not have control over how many documents users will upload, so it is variable and we cannot set a threshold."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."
"Each license is something like $4,000."
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"​Very transparent.​"
"The seat is too expensive."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
