Ajay Nayak - PeerSpot reviewer
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."
"The solution is easy to integrate and user-friendly."
"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."
"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 product is intuitive and easy to use."
"I have been using Alteryx Designer only for data modeling and data structuring."
"I like Alteryx Designer's drag-and-drop feature, where you drag a component, configure it and quickly run it."
"I like Alteryx's browser tool because you can view how your data is handled live. There are many other valuable tools like transpose and the crosstab. You can quickly pivot your data, and there are connections throughout the database. It's so easy to create a connection. If you connect to sign apps or a more complex database, the tool contains all the tools you need."
"Alteryx Designer's user interface is great, as it is very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"Co>Operating System would be improved with more integrations for less well-known technologies."
"An awesome improvement would be big data solutions, for example, implementing some kind of business intelligence or neural networks for artificial intelligence."
"Alteryx Designer is not as fast as SSIS and is not good for large datasets. It also needs to improve database procedures. Though it is easy to use, it is limited in terms of technical aspects."
"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."
"Alteryx's data science and machine learning capabilities are where it loses out to DataIQ."
"We need more documentation."
"The only thing is sometimes it can be a bit slow."
"We discontinued using Alteryx's data science studio because it was not very user-friendly."
"It is challenging to view the data using Alteryx Designer."
"Its cost can sometimes be a drawback."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Co>Operating System's pricing is on the expensive end since it tends to be used by big enterprises."
"Alteryx Designer is a very expensive solution."
"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."
"Alteryx Designer is an expensive solution."
"The product is a bit expensive, it should be looked into."
"Each license is something like $4,000."
"I rate the price of Alteryx Designer as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is extremely expensive, and ten is a highly cheap product."
"The solution is expensive. It has license fees, which are renewable every year."
