Senior Staff Cyber Security Cloud Data Architect at GE Healthcare
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 three data signs and data engineering are great features."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"Geo features have made spatial mapping large retail universes possible."
"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"The positive impact Alteryx has had on our organization includes our ability to automate quite a few complex ETL or data integrations, reducing coding by around 75 to 80 percent."
"Alteryx's connectivity is essential, and we like the ability to connect the solution to multiple sources because it's easier than other data modeling and extraction solutions and is built on a self-service concept, so it's easy for anyone to open the tool and directly import or export data from it."
"Technical support is very helpful."
"Alteryx is easier to set up and implement and allowed us to also focus on different aspects of the business."
"The most valuable features of Red Hat Enterprise Linux are the mobile applications and getting real-time notifications."
"The reliability is so good that I rarely find myself calling Red Hat support any longer."
"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."
"We use this product's built-in tracing and monitoring tools such as syslog and SAR (system activity reporter) to provide us with greater insight and visibility into what's going on."
"I have seen a return on investment, especially considering the time taken to resolve the problem where we bought some support from Red Hat."
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux has made significant improvements in terms of storage. You can mount an 18 terabyte file system. It also supports NFS shares and the SIP share for the photos. There have been many features added since RHEL 6. It's more user-friendly and graphical."
"Overall, I think that this is a good product."
"Red Hat support is very good; their response regarding SLAs has improved significantly in India, and I have no complaints about the support I continue to receive."
 

Cons

"There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients."
"They can provide some pre-built tools for predictive analytics instead of us having to build all the tools. It should also be improved from the visualization aspect. It should have better visualization capabilities. There are tools out there that have better visualization capabilities, which Alteryx is lacking currently."
"More emphasis on extensible R and data augmentation interface design."
"Alteryx can improve the model management and deployment processing of large workloads."
"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."
"The product could benefit from improved integration with visualization tools or even the inclusion of built-in visualization features."
"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."
"Alteryx could be improved in the area of analytics and central governance."
"The improvements, in my opinion, have to be done in the infrastructure of the Red Hat Satellite, it is very complex."
"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."
"I would like to see improvements made to the subscriptions and management of them."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"The price could be better."
"​Very transparent.​"
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"It's probably on the pricey side, but they provide some really useful ways to grow and test."
"This is not a cheap solution but it gets you the support if you ever need it."
"Regarding the prices, the new changes are actually not bad as it works for enterprise solutions."
"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."
