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 found limited automation capabilities while configuration has remained complex despite reliable monitoring features
In terms of configuration, Red Hat Insights could use some improvement. When I deploy Red Hat, the installation means a pure vanilla installation where you run and install a product out of the box, but deployment involves configuration plus all necessary tooling to run that product, which requires human input to complete the installation, configurations, and integration. Red Hat Insights has very limited automation; it only detects anomalies and triggers corrective actions for compliance issues, something which I found lacking when compared to other tools I've used.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ease-of-use allows non-technical business users to directly create their own solutions without the use of additional development resources."
"Alteryx helps me do a lot of automation. The best thing about Alteryx is that you don't have to repeat the workflow over and over again. Unlike Excel, where you need to write formulas for each new file, Alteryx follows a consistent process. You can schedule and automate the workflow, even if the files change."
"It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis."
"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."
"Alteryx has positively impacted my organization by saving time, improving accuracy, and enabling better decision-making."
"The data transformation feature is the most valuable. The ability to ingest data, visualize data, and transform that data is useful."
"The product's most valuable features include its ease of use for non-technical users and machine learning capabilities."
"The scheduling feature for the automation is excellent."
"It identifies bugs and security vulnerabilities."
"The tool is simple and easy to use. It has good support and doesn't have many outages due to the OS."
"RHEL enables us to deploy applications and emerging workloads across bare-metal and virtualized environments and I find those workloads to be extremely reliable. The reliability is so good that I rarely find myself calling Red Hat support any longer. Support is the first benefit of using RHEL, but the second thing is that the platform is so stable that the need to use support is negligible."
"I have seen a return on investment, especially considering the time taken to resolve the problem where we bought some support from Red Hat."
"RHEL is the most reliable Linux flavor in terms of enterprise governance. I prefer it for its code stability, support, and integration. The lifecycle management features help us maintain compliance and keep the components updated."
"The product is optimized for resource utilization."
"Overall, I think that this is a good product."
"The most valuable feature of Red Hat Insights that I have found is the proactive information on issues that you don't see but are possibly going to happen in the environment."
 

Cons

"All of the reports are migrated or exported in an Excel file, and most of the time, a business intelligence tool is required. They could have better reporting. The aesthetic could be improved."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved."
"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability."
"Technical support is okay and could be better. Sometimes, it takes about two to five days to hear an answer from the technical support team."
"Alteryx needs to focus on the supply chain aspect since detecting financial figures and data anomalies is currently insufficient."
"I think the only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"There are no ready models to use in analytics."
"The improvements, in my opinion, have to be done in the infrastructure of the Red Hat Satellite, it is very complex."
"All resources should be available on the website."
"The cockpit server doesn't work and is useless. I don't like the images shown in GCP. I prefer the ones in AWS. It seems like the solution is in tune with what we deploy on the private cloud."
"Sometimes, the product has outages that affect the site's ability."
"There is potential for improvement when it comes to ease of use. It has become easier to use over the years but could be better still. Linux, in general, has never been a simple solution. It's usually a more complex solution than something like Windows. If there is a downside, it's that it is more complex than some of the other solutions."
"I also want the co-pilot to provide more granular control and more features in the GUI, so we can have one configuration from the GUI itself. It would be helpful to have a feature similar to the one in Windows where we can manage all the net flows from one console in a single pane of glass and install it on-premises like an admin center. It would be great if Red Hat had some kind of admin center to manage all the RHEL boxes without using an additional product like Satellite or something, we could use the co-pilot on all the systems to monitor the dashboard."
"A lot of improvement is required to get security compliance, especially with the privacy of the data, managing it, and storing it."
"AIX will be out of support in the next few years, so that is a problem because a lot of the clinical apps use AIX."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"The seat is too expensive."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"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."
"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"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."
"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."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"This is not a cheap solution but it gets you the support if you ever need it."
"If you have a subscription to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Insights is free."
"RHEL is expensive. We have changed the cloud provider's subscription to a pay-as-you-go model."
"The prices are comparable, and good for what is being provided."
"Regarding the prices, the new changes are actually not bad as it works for enterprise solutions."
