An easy-to-use automation solution with satisfying customer support

With Alteryx, we mostly fetch data from SQL, SQL server databases, and SharePoint. Some team members were doing the task using Excel for a long time with Macros and Excel functions like VLOOKUP, and these things become quite easy when you are using Alteryx as a solution. We have automated the…

Saves our underwriters' time with data virtualization, but could provide more learning resources

As a company, we first did a proof-of-concept for about four months to make sure the product was a perfect fit for us or not, and beyond that I have only used Denodo for another year or so, so I know that we haven't used the product to its fullest yet. Indeed, a lot of Denodo has changed since we had our first presentation on it with the Denodo sales team who gave us a rundown of all the features. Nevertheless, there are multiple ideas I could suggest in terms of improvement. First of all, the visualization and reporting could be better. Of course, the data virtualization is good, but the data visualization could be improved with regards to the real-time dashboarding of the graphs, pie charts, etc. For the real-time data, the dashboard should preferably be updated automatically every hour. Let's say, as a CEO or CFO, I just want to know how much premium the company will get at any hour of the day. This data should be readily available on the dashboard. This is largely why we stick with Power BI's dashboarding features (besides the simple fact that Power BI works well hand-in-hand with Azure), and why we still haven't used Denodo's data visualization features as much as the data virtualization features. Another area we have been struggling with is the integration of Denodo with both Salesforce and MuleSoft, which we use to track the customers in our sales system, such as when sending insurance quotes. When we first tried to integrate Salesforce, we found that there was some type of version incompatibility. We had a hard time talking with Salesforce about this, but eventually we upgraded our version and the integration was resolved. Yet, this was a challenge that I feel we didn't need to go through, as we were not able to quickly map out the issue. And with MuleSoft, we have not been able to integrate it properly at all. I have also seen our users complain about the availability of data sources, where they are sometimes not able to connect to all the sources they need. This kind of complaint, however, is difficult to diagnose, and I don't know for sure whether it is due to how we have Denodo set up in the company, or whether it's an actual issue with Denodo itself. These complaints were mainly made during the first few months of our usage, so it is possible that the problems stemmed from a lack of knowledge on how to use Denodo correctly, especially since the individual feedback would generally be something vague like, "Okay, I'm not able to do this". To help resolve these complaints, I would suggest that Denodo work on better documentation and perhaps some kind of virtual training. For example, there's an insurance software company called Guidewire, and when we first brought Guidewire into the company they sent us a lot of training videos even before the actual integration took place. For Denodo, it would be beneficial to make sure that the team that will be using it has some kind of training on how to use the product at least a month beforehand, and there could even be some kind of feedback or Q&A sessions to go along with the training. If Denodo were able to provide this kind of training, it would be very helpful to users in insurance and banking companies because the staff are typically older and not always technically-minded. They say, "You are pushing us too hard", so they need encouragement when it comes to adoption of a new software product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"For my daily analytics needs, the entire Alteryx Designer platform is beneficial."

"One of the things I like about Alteryx Designer is how easy it is to connect numerous data inputs, including API connectors. This helps tremendously in reducing the time required to extract data from systems like SAP that don't have straightforward connectivity options."

"I have been using Alteryx Designer only for data modeling and data structuring."

"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."

"Alteryx is quite easy to use, learn, and understand as a product."

"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."

More Alteryx Designer pros

"Data mining is one of the valuable features. We're able to connect all of the data sources with the installed driver, so that is a good advantage in Denodo. Being able to join the tables and view them is also valuable."

"We can consume data fast."

"The best thing about Denodo is that creating and deploying a web service can be done in about 10 minutes, compared to a whole day when it comes to other solutions (such as when deploying with Java and AWS)."

"This solution provides us with the ability to sync data, and make it available for anyone to use across the business."

"In general, it's good for us to make tests so we can scout the data."

"It allows a lot of traceability and you can decide what data you want to collect"

"The most valuable feature is Data Catalogs."

"Denodo is very stable."

More Denodo pros

Cons

"Alteryx Designer overall should be easier to use."

"Alteryx's data science and machine learning capabilities are where it loses out to DataIQ."

"Alteryx Designer's pricing and support could be improved."

"Improving the key-based sign-on process and making it more user-friendly would be a benefit."

"Its cost can sometimes be a drawback."

"When configuring the Logix, the UA could be improved."

"If the price were reduced then it would be more competitive."

"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."

More Alteryx Designer cons

"The support is not the best and should be improved."

"Performance management could be improved."

"User-specific security at the column and row levels needs to be improved. Instead of applying security at every individual level, it would be better if it were at the group or tier level. It will save a lot of time."

"The data catalog certainly has room for improvement. It is functional but we look forward to development. We are in constant contact with Denodo and they are fully aware of our needs."

"I would like to see a proper way to avoid killing the sourcing systems."

"Denodo's training documentation could be improved by providing more material. From an administrative standpoint, I've found that only Denodo websites provide the usual tutorials. It may be because it's a bit of a restricted tool, but it results in trouble with learning. Normally, I can find help and solutions from other sources, but I haven't been able to find any for Denodo. Other that, it's fine and it performs well. I only have six months of experience, so I can't accurately suggest improvements."

"Denodo can improve usage management-related aspects. If you deal with the mini views, it gets stuck. The performance is very slow when we go with a large number of views and high volume."

"It would be good if the solution provided a much-needed cellular platform."

More Denodo cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Each license is something like $4,000."

"Alteryx is a little bit expensive compared to competing solutions."

"I rate Alteryx Designer a six out of ten for pricing."

"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."

"I rate the product's pricing a two to three out of ten."

"It is too expensive for our country. We are a small country, so it is too difficult to sell this solution. With Alteryx Designer, if you want to automate the data and run the flows, you have to pay more money. We were trying to automate the flows, and we found out that people have to pay 600 more for this feature, which makes it even more expensive. We are a partner for Tableau, and we are working with Tableau Prep, which is like a mini Alteryx. In Tableau Prep, you can drag and drop and make new connections with the different data sources. You can make all the connections. You can also publish a source. You don't have to pay more money with Tableau. You pay like $5 per user per month to access it."

"Alteryx Designer is a very expensive solution."

"The solution is expensive. It has license fees, which are renewable every year."

More Alteryx Designer pricing and cost advice

"I don't know the actual cost, but it's tens of thousands of dollars per month."

"For us, the cost has been okay. Also, there are no additional costs; it's just the standard licensing fee."

"Talking with my manager and others, nobody has complained about the pricing so far which is a positive sign."

"The cost for Denodo is in line with other similar products."

"Denodo provides a lightweight 30-day free trial, but when we do courses on top of it, it costs $150 for each person."

"There is an express edition and a licensed enterprise edition."

"The licensing should be improved, as the cost per connector is quite expensive."

"Cost wise, on a scale from one to five, with one being the cheapest and five being the most expensive, Denodo would be at three. We get all the features in a bundle."
