Featured Reviews

ManojBehera - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Anirban Chatterjee - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager at Deloitte
Provides superior integration capabilities and ability to handle complex data transformations 
One area for improvement in the solution is the ability to manually update individual rows or columns of data once it has been uploaded. Any correction requires reloading the entire dataset from the source, which can be inefficient. They should include a feature for granular data updates, allowing users to edit specific entries without reloading entire datasets.

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."
"The connection feature is quite useful to our organization; we connect with Microsoft SQL databases, Oracle databases, SharePoint lists, and Outlook email servers, and the stability and scalability have been very good with no issues."
"Previously I have used consultants for the implementation but I can now do it myself."
"Overall, I'd have to say the tool is pretty awesome."
"Something that would take an hour or two hours to do it manually can take five to 10 minutes for Alteryx."
"The solution does a good job with data transformation."
"The Alteryx designer has been the most useful feature in the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its performance. It is a powerful solution."
"The product is easier to use compared to other applications."
"Feature-wise, I feel that the solution's stability is good."
"The solution is stable and reliable, with minimal issues affecting its performance."
"The customer service and support are pretty good."
"I really like the flexibility the solution provides in terms of data transformation."
 

Cons

"The only weakness I would say is on the visualization side of having that dynamic incapability."
"Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage."
"It would be beneficial if Alteryx could lower its price or introduce a loyalty program for individual consultants and freelancers like me."
"The scalability worries me a lot at the moment because the cost of the solution is high and it is not growing considerably. Unfortunately, we started during early COVID times and because of the economic downturn, all the cost cuttings, and everything, it is not growing as expected."
"Visualization: There is room to improve here."
"It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."
"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"One area for improvement in the solution is the ability to manually update individual rows or columns of data once it has been uploaded."
"When you create certain objects, a lot of the time, the fields are text. They’re not numeric, date, or any other field type"
"There is not much flexibility in how we can add external data within Workday Prisma Analytics."
"The visualization techniques must be upgraded."
"It is not a very scalable product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a good price."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"​Very transparent.​"
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"The seat is too expensive."
"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
"Based on whatever I have heard, Workday Prism Analytics is considered an expensive tool."
"The solution is very expensive."
"I do not know of the licensing cost, but there are additional costs like 5,00,000 for recruitment modules."
