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

"Workflows and a large number of tools were a quick QA methodology and rapid prototype creation tool."
"Alteryx effectively visualizes the flow of data and what happens at each stage. I also like that it's a no-code solution. I also like that you can troubleshoot certain parts of the workflow by putting them in a sandbox."
"The solution has been stable."
"Something that would take an hour or two hours to do it manually can take five to 10 minutes for Alteryx."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is the intelligence suite."
"It has everything that one needs. Whatever you want to do with the data can be done with Alteryx."
"The tools are built-in; you just plug and play, drag and drop, and once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"Fast data processing and cleaning."
"FICO OM is very flexible in terms of development, with rapid application development options."
 

Cons

"Configuration is very low and is not good for the customer end."
"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."
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality."
"The scalability worries me a lot at the moment because the cost of the solution is high and it is not growing considerably. Unfortunately, we started during early COVID times and because of the economic downturn, all the cost cuttings, and everything, it is not growing as expected."
"Deep learning models are not currently supported."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"I mostly used it for flat files, but I have many colleagues who reported that to tune a query, in case they want to directly connect to the database, there is no option to optimize the performance of the query, as we have in Informatica."
"It would be beneficial if Alteryx could lower its price or introduce a loyalty program for individual consultants and freelancers like me."
"Customer service is below average."
 

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."
"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"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."
"It is $4,000 a year, so it is cheap versus other solutions. It also accomplishes three times the volume on the job in the same time (as the other solutions).​"
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
