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

"There are a lot of good customization capabilities."
"Alteryx is a simple and easy-to-use solution."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"It is efficient in optimizing our ability to get information."
"The solution has a very strong community that is involved in the product. It helps make the usage easier and helps us find answers to our questions."
"Alteryx significantly reduces the time spent searching for specific information."
"I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its stand-alone version that we do not have to download dependencies for loads. Additionally, the scan is useful for beginners."
"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

"Mastering Alteryx, a comprehensive solution, takes time. However, once you have gained proficiency with its layout and how to drag, drop, and connect components, it becomes remarkably easy, yet still thorough."
"The software is not fully optimized."
"Alteryx could be improved in the area of analytics and central governance."
"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"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."
"Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage."
"The solution can be made more affordable."
"It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx."
"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

"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"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's very expensive. I'd rate it a four out of ten in terms of the price. It's great for big companies but not for small companies."
"In order to have designers, and, if you want to collaborate, you have to buy a server. If the designer is $5,000, and if you want a server, you have to pay $80,000."
"​Very transparent.​"
"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."
"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"There is no need to buy a license. You can just download it and use it for free."
