Theresa McLaughlin - PeerSpot reviewer
Quick development enables seamless data processing despite occasional support issues
There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason. The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system. Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage. For instance, our licenses were temporarily lost during negotiations when an agreement couldn't be reached.
Doug Isabelle - PeerSpot reviewer
Good management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments
In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many rouge devices broadcasting, and the devices is getting interference from another channel. The only to fix this is to reboot and we need something that reboots on the fly. We also need better security for VLANs and VPNs. There are issues with certain Apple devices. Technical support is not very helpful. The initial setup, which seemed straightforward at first, had to be redone. This may not have been the fault of the product. We're not sure what went wrong.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It offered quick development, with the ability to process large datasets."
"The drag and drop and layout is simple to understand, with intuitive names of features."
"The tools are built-in. You just plug and play, drag and drop, once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"It saves time on a lot projects. ​"
"Alteryx is a simple and easy-to-use solution."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its unlimited handling capabilities."
"Alteryx's connectivity is essential. We like the ability to connect the solution to multiple sources. It's easier than other data modeling and extraction solutions. It's built on a self-service concept, so it's easy for anyone to open the tool and directly import or export data from it."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
 

Cons

"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability."
"The solution could improve in the visualization."
"It is a little bit pricey."
"I think sometimes the solution doesn't load properly or takes so much time for the workflows. Though the workflow runs and completes the file in Excel, if you use the same formula, it's a bit slow. Also, the image processing is not so good because I tried to do some image processing and they were like, sometimes they put two to eight. In the document, it was two, but the OCR predicted it as eight."
"It should have Linux support. It currently supports only Windows. It does not support any other platform. Its price should also be lower. Their US partner management program is actually unresponsive. One of the reasons why we don't have a formalized partnership plan with them is because their partner management team is atrociously unresponsive. This is something that they need to change."
"Mastering Alteryx, a comprehensive solution, takes time. However, once you have gained proficiency with its layout and how to drag, drop, and connect components, it becomes remarkably easy, yet still thorough."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"The technical support could have a little bit of improvement."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"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 cost of the solution could be reduced."
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else."
"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
