Featured Reviews

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

"Alteryx has helped us spend more time identifying results instead of performing analysis manually. It has helped us in our loading process, including scrubbing data and identifying data elements that need to be corrected. It enables us to understand our data sets a lot better."
"The modeling features are very good."
"The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."
"The scheduling within the solution is excellent."
"I think the most valuable feature for Alteryx in a health facility is that it permits cleaning, organizing, and merging of databases such as Excel and Access."
"The ease-of-use allows non-technical business users to directly create their own solutions without the use of additional development resources."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its unlimited handling capabilities."
"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

"There's a big jump in terms of pricing between license tiers. I'm not sure I understand why the price jumps are so high."
"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"I think better visualization would be helpful to this solution."
"The technical support could have a little bit of improvement."
"The solution could work on the BI side of the tool to make it a bit better."
"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 event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"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 desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."
"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."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
