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.

Have improved machine learning model automation and reduced decision-making time
One improvement I would like to see in H2O.ai is regarding the integration capabilities with different data sources, as I've seen platforms like DataIQ and DataBricks offer great integration with various data sources. H2O.ai could benefit from enhanced integration with real-time versus offline data sources, as well as improvements in productionalization solutions, including better deployment options on platforms like Azure and CI/CD integration. One of the features I'd like to see included in upcoming releases of H2O.ai pertains to the growing trend of Generative AI, with applications for LLM-based models and vector databases. I would like to see a solution similar to Azure AI Foundry, which provides the flexibility to integrate different LLMs into applications, including H2O-GPT and other models for varied applications.

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."
"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."
"It gives the power back to the end-users."
"Alteryx has a good UI. We use it frequently in our projects. The tool comes with drag-and-drop features and is easy to understand for business needs. One situation where Alteryx's advanced analytics capabilities were particularly beneficial for us was during a forecasting project. Unlike Python, which requires coding, Alteryx simplifies the process significantly. With Alteryx, users can adjust parameters within the user interface without writing any code."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"The most valuable feature for me is integration."
"Our analyst’s time was cut from two days to one hour of data blending and the output was amazing!"
"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"The product is definitely worth looking at, as it is one of the upcoming products where you can build large models for use cases."
"Fast training, memory-efficient DataFrame manipulation, well-documented, easy-to-use algorithms, ability to integrate with enterprise Java apps (through POJO/MOJO) are the main reasons why we switched from Spark to H2O."
"The company is interested in using an external platform in order to have an updated environment."
"The ease of use in connecting to our cluster machines."
"One of the most interesting features of the product is their driverless component, which allows you to test several different algorithms along with navigating you through choosing the best algorithm and gives you an interpretability capability that allows you to have some understanding of what's inside the algorithm and why it's behaving a certain way, making sure you are not biased towards the outcome."
"The most valuable features are the machine learning tools, the support for Jupyter Notebooks, and the collaboration that allows you to share it across people."
"H2O.ai provides better flexibility where I could examine more models and obtain results, and based on these results, I could make the next set of decisions."
"We have seen significant ROI where we were able to use the product in certain key projects and could automate a lot of processes."
 

Cons

"In terms of data extraction, during the sequel queries of servers as an example, you can structure your sequel query and it's fine, very readable, but once you run it, it crashes into one complex single line, and makes it very difficult."
"The next feature release should include easier reporting."
"We can't browse multiple files. When we deploy a solution on a gallery, let's say I have ten different files, and I have to upload them all at once. This is something that's difficult in the gallery. So case by case, I see some downsides, but often we do something alternative."
"The principal problem is the pricing. They're expensive products."
"Alteryx is not very robust when it comes to working on large sets of data."
"In some ways, I believe it is not yet as integrated as it could be."
"Deep learning models are not currently supported."
"I think better visualization would be helpful to this solution."
"Feature engineering."
"The interpretability module has room for improvement. Also, it needs to improve its ability to integrate with other systems, like SageMaker, and the overall integration capability."
"On the topic of model training and model governance, this solution cannot handle ten or twelve models running at the same time."
"The model management features could be improved."
"Referring to bullet-3 as well, H2O DataFrame manipulation capabilities are too primitive."
"H2O.ai can improve in areas like multimodal support and prompt engineering."
"It needs a drag and drop GUI like KNIME, for easy access to and visibility of workflows."
"It lacks the data manipulation capabilities of R and Pandas DataFrames. We would kill for dplyr offloading H2O."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."
"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"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 designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a ten, as it is highly priced."
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
"We have seen significant ROI where we were able to use the product in certain key projects and could automate a lot of processes. We were even able to reduce staff."
