High performance and flexible solution for companies with large amounts of data

An easy-to-use automation solution with satisfying customer support
Sometimes, while getting data from a third-party product, like data sources that are not present in your system, Alteryx works a bit slowly. Even if you have a good configuration and you are pulling data from an SQL server like SAP, then the solution also has a slow work process. It shouldn't be that much slow if you are pulling ten thousand records, it should not take thirty minutes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ab Initio reaches the highest performance and is very flexible in processing huge amounts of data."
"Co>Operating System's most valuable feature is its ability to process bulk data effectively."
"We use Alteryx Designer for analytics. It's quite helpful because once we set it up, we don't have to manually update or process data repeatedly. It saves time, especially for financial reporting, which is typically done monthly or quarterly. Once we set it up initially, we only need to make occasional updates if necessary."
"When you open a raw Excel file, it can be hard to look at everything in detail. Alteryx makes it much easier to go through the data, summarize it, and use different tools for analysis."
"I believe in the ability to connect to multiple data sources, as well as the ease of use to transform data and output data in a variety of formats."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its API connections. Its predictive analytics feature has helped us pass some ETL processes to analysts rather than developers."
"The main valuable aspect is the simplicity of use across all features."
"Alteryx is quite easy to use, learn, and understand as a product."
"It has great UI."
"It has an easy setup process."
 

Cons

"An awesome improvement would be big data solutions, for example, implementing some kind of business intelligence or neural networks for artificial intelligence."
"Co>Operating System would be improved with more integrations for less well-known technologies."
"Alteryx's data science and machine learning capabilities are where it loses out to DataIQ."
"Improving the key-based sign-on process and making it more user-friendly would be a benefit."
"The major concern in Alteryx Designer stems from the high costs attached to the product."
"Alteryx could move faster to create a cloud equivalent of the desktop version of Designer."
"Alteryx Designer overall should be easier to use."
"Alteryx needs to improve its web governance. The gallery you use to filter the data is something else that could use some work. For instance, if you have a report connected to a database and want to filter a specific user, you should be able to suggest a specific region or a particular year. I know that the Alteryx isn't designed for data governance, but that would be great to think about."
"It would be simpler if they provided a component where you could simply enter some parameters and see the results."
"The product could offer more connectors and more databases with support for the in-database function."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Co>Operating System's pricing is on the expensive end since it tends to be used by big enterprises."
"The pricing is bit expensive."
"Alteryx Designer is an expensive solution."
"Alteryx is a little bit expensive compared to competing solutions."
"The tool is priced high."
"The solution is expensive. It has license fees, which are renewable every year."
"I rate the price of Alteryx Designer a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The licenses are expensive, making it difficult to consider acquiring additional licenses to the existing ones."
"I rate Alteryx Designer a six out of ten for pricing."
