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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form."
"The basic package of manipulation tools are the tools that my team use the most."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"It gives the power back to the end-users."
"The connection feature is quite useful to our organization; we connect with Microsoft SQL databases, Oracle databases, SharePoint lists, and Outlook email servers, and the stability and scalability have been very good with no issues."
"The support is very good overall; we are satisfied with their level of service, and they are knowledgeable and responsive."
"The solution has excellent drag and drop functionality. There's no need for coding."
"It is one of the most complete and great customer service that I experienced with a software company/ecosystem."
"FICO OM is very flexible in terms of development, with rapid application development options."
 

Cons

"It is expensive to buy additional licensing, and it is time and resource consuming to install onto our own hardware — which itself requires maintenance and administrative attention."
"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"It would be beneficial if Alteryx could lower its price or introduce a loyalty program for individual consultants and freelancers like me."
"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."
"Configuration is very low."
"If there is any way to make the learning curve less steep, that would be ideal."
"There are a few hiccups with specific data sets and languages or formats that the data comes in. That may be a minor problem, but we can work through it. We had some issues looking at XML format in added data, but it wasn't significant."
"It's more expensive than Tableau, for example."
"Customer service is below average."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the tool's price as a one. The tool is expensive."
"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 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 price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"The seat is too expensive."
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
