Theresa McLaughlin - PeerSpot reviewer
Quick development enables seamless data processing despite occasional support issues
There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason. The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system. Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage. For instance, our licenses were temporarily lost during negotiations when an agreement couldn't be reached.

Is easy to deploy and is free, but marketing strategies need improvement
We use Ataccama DQ Analyzer to analyze data migration from one source to another. We use it to clean up the data I like that there is no need to buy a license. You can just download it and use it free. It is also easy to deploy. They could focus more on marketing the product. The current…

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 feature of Alteryx is its performance. It is a powerful solution."
"Good data transformation."
"The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily."
"It has everything that one needs. Whatever you want to do with the data can be done with Alteryx."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use."
"The drag and drop and layout is simple to understand, with intuitive names of features."
"It is also easy to deploy."
"The data profile itself is excellent. You can understand the quality of the data in layman's terms."
 

Cons

"The tool could include more native connectors, such as for global ERPs, instead of requiring additional fees for these connections."
"Sometimes, there are performance constraints. Especially when a large file has to be ingested, the system slows down a bit. Its performance is the only thing that can be improved."
"Deep learning models are not currently supported."
"There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search."
"Alteryx could be improved in the area of analytics and central governance."
"Alteryx needs to focus on the supply chain aspect since detecting financial figures and data anomalies is currently insufficient."
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality."
"The learning curve is long, and there is lack of e-learning; the tool is not user-friendly to a non-technical user."
"Although DQA can fetch data from most of the commonly used data sources, it has limited modifiers to get data, meaning that the number of technologies from which the data can be acquired is limited. For example, DQA does not support fetching data from Twitter or Facebook. Many competitors have this feature."
"They could focus more on marketing the product. The current marketing strategy is not working."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While it offers extensive features, including predictive analytics, for those who mainly use it for data preparation and blending, the cost can be prohibitive."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a ten, as it is highly priced."
"Its price should be lower. The key thing that we see is that talking about ROI is an important element at the time of purchase. Cost becomes a factor in every discussion. Justifying the ROI for these kinds of workflows is always a challenge, and the only way to counter the challenge is by addressing the pricing."
"It has a good price."
"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 license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"There is no need to buy a license. You can just download it and use it for free."
