Time-saving workflows have transformed data preparation and predictive analysis for my team
Some of the best features Alteryx offers are its no and low-code capabilities. It delivers massive time-saving and includes spatial and predictive analysis. Alteryx includes built-in tools such as drive time analysis and linear regression, which are much harder to achieve in standard BI tools such as Power BI or Tableau. In addition to these features, Alteryx provides built-in spatial tools that can calculate drive time and location-based insights with minimal effort through drag-and-drop spatial tools, low complex coding, faster, and more accurate results. Linear regression predicts sales based on marketing spend, estimates costs based on usage, and identifies trends in historical data. Alteryx has positively impacted my organization by saving time, improving accuracy, and enabling better decision-making. Using Alteryx, complex tasks such as data cleansing, joining datasets, drive time analysis, and linear regression can be done much faster compared to manual Excel or SQL work. This reduces dependency on manual effort and lowers the risk of human error. Drive time analysis helps my organization make better location-based decisions, such as identifying optimal service areas or improving customer reach.

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

"You don't have to be tech-savvy or technical to use the solution."
"It gives the power back to the end-users."
"The drag and drop and layout is simple to understand, with intuitive names of features."
"I like the fact that you can easily blend data from different platforms."
"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"It's super easy to learn how to use it — the learning curve is very small."
"Alteryx has improved our organization because it provides an easy way to build machine learning models as well as to do citizen data science work."
"Overall, if you are looking for data management, if you need to improve your ability to blend data and to get insights out of data, Alteryx is the way to go."
"Overall, I think that this is a good product."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The reliability is so good that I rarely find myself calling Red Hat support any longer."
"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."
"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

"A colleague of mind mentioned that the solution should have more options for the visualization of data."
"Pricing flexibility can be better, especially for small teams and organizations, as the current licensing cost can be a barrier for wider adoption."
"There are no ready models to use in analytics."
"The price could be better; though we are satisfied with the solution, we feel the price to be a bit on the expensive side and we would like to improve on and escalate Alteryx, but find it too expensive at the moment to do so."
"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"When the workflows are huge and complex, it may take some time to refresh it."
"I think the only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"What they're struggling with is it's not as mature as Tableau in the user management area. It was tougher to manage the server part of it right away, especially since the user base has grown."
"A lot of improvement is required to get security compliance, especially with the privacy of the data, managing it, and storing it."
"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."
"The improvements, in my opinion, have to be done in the infrastructure of the Red Hat Satellite, it is very complex."
"What could be improved dramatically is the ability to have it used by an enterprise, which means to interlock with Ansible Automation Platform first."
"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."
"I would like to see improvements made to the subscriptions and management of them."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"It is $4,000 a year, so it is cheap versus other solutions. It also accomplishes three times the volume on the job in the same time (as the other solutions).​"
"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"RHEL is expensive. We have changed the cloud provider's subscription to a pay-as-you-go model."
"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."
"Regarding the prices, the new changes are actually not bad as it works for enterprise solutions."
"The prices are comparable, and good for what is being provided."
