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 most valuable feature of Alteryx is the intelligence suite."
"Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form."
"This is a drag-and-drop tool which is easy-to-use and yet can be customized by creating your own components."
"Alteryx is very good; you can do literally anything on Alteryx, it is so advanced, and it's just drag and drop, so you don't need to know any coding or other technical stuff to use it."
"The most valuable feature for me is integration."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"It has everything that one needs. Whatever you want to do with the data can be done with Alteryx."
"The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."
"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."
"The tool is simple and easy to use. It has good support and doesn't have many outages due to the OS."
"It identifies bugs and security vulnerabilities."
"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."
"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."
"The reliability is so good that I rarely find myself calling Red Hat support any longer."
"I have seen a return on investment, especially considering the time taken to resolve the problem where we bought some support from Red Hat."
 

Cons

"Configuration is very low and is not good for the customer end."
"The gallery could improve in Alteryx. Additionally, if there was a Conditional Join feature it would be beneficial. Since I do not have this feature I have to use Python scripts."
"This is a proprietary tool and maybe the open source part of it could be improved."
"Add inbuilt interactive visualization in Alteryx."
"It would be beneficial if Alteryx could lower its price or introduce a loyalty program for individual consultants and freelancers like me."
"The learning curve is long, and there is lack of e-learning; the tool is not user-friendly to a non-technical user."
"There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason."
"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."
"A lot of improvement is required to get security compliance, especially with the privacy of the data, managing it, and storing it."
"All resources should be available on the website."
"New products need better documentation. The websites also have a single sign-on to get you from one side to the other. As a partner, I had a problem finding out how I needed to connect and to which side of the solution."
"Sometimes, the product has outages that affect the site's ability."
"I would like to see improvements made to the subscriptions and management of them."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"It's probably on the pricey side, but they provide some really useful ways to grow and test."
"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"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."
"This is not a cheap solution but it gets you the support if you ever need it."
"The prices are comparable, and good for what is being provided."
"If you have a subscription to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Insights is free."
"Regarding the prices, the new changes are actually not bad as it works for enterprise solutions."
"RHEL is expensive. We have changed the cloud provider's subscription to a pay-as-you-go model."
