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 is a simple and easy-to-use solution."
"I think the most valuable feature for Alteryx in a health facility is that it permits cleaning, organizing, and merging of databases such as Excel and Access."
"The scheduling feature for the automation is excellent."
"The most valuable feature for me is integration."
"I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."
"The analytics are easy​."
"The scalability is one of the things that get our customers mostly excited about how easy it is to start scaling the server."
"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"FICO OM is very flexible in terms of development, with rapid application development options."
 

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 tool could include more native connectors, such as for global ERPs, instead of requiring additional fees for these connections."
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"It would be great if Alteryx could take third party tools and incorporate them."
"The next feature release should include easier reporting."
"There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search."
"It would be beneficial if Alteryx could lower its price or introduce a loyalty program for individual consultants and freelancers like me."
"The only weakness I would say is on the visualization side of having that dynamic incapability."
"Customer service is below average."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's probably on the pricey side, but they provide some really useful ways to grow and test."
"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 price of the solution is expensive."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"​Very transparent.​"
