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.
Vijay Manoharan - PeerSpot reviewer
Performs real-time replication without data loss, but we cannot do much automation
The setup with the classic GoldenGate architecture was easy. Oracle has now moved to Microservices Architecture. It is a real pain. There are a lot of new things we have to learn. I rate the ease of setup of the classic architecture a seven out of ten. For Microservices, I rate the ease of setup a three out of ten. The deployment takes a couple of hours. We need one system administrator to deploy the tool. We need to maintain the tool. We are a team of four people. We need at least three people for maintenance. The time taken for maintenance depends on how big the environment is. We spend a lot of time on maintenance because our environment is big.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the integrated properties and integrated connectivity."
"The product is intuitive and easy to use."
"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."
"The solution's ability to hold a huge amount of data in its memory is significant."
"The product offers very good analytics."
"The product is very stable. The performance is reliable."
"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."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"This is a powerful solution provided by one of the most respected companies in the computer industry."
"The most valuable features of Oracle GoldenGate are the schema application and performance."
"What I have found the most valuable about GoldenGate is that it does real-time and no-downtime migrations. Its migrations are fast. There are not many tools like it on the marketplace."
"GoldenGate enables us to merge and transform data from various sources in real time. It's a powerful tool that can read and load most data sources."
"It scales well. You can either have it working in with the databases, or you can move it outside. It's got the ability to parallelize up, so you can certainly extract and replay the data from your databases in parallel. So it does have horizontal scalability. That is probably one of its stronger features, the ability just to automatically parallelize the replay and playing of data to allow to scale to large volumes."
"We use the tool to pull on-prem data."
"We can replicate data across different data centers and different technologies."
"It is quite scalable."
 

Cons

"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."
"It is challenging to view the data using Alteryx Designer."
"The price of the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Alteryx Designer overall should be easier to use."
"We discontinued using Alteryx's data science studio because it was not very user-friendly."
"The major concern in Alteryx Designer stems from the high costs attached to the product."
"Sometimes, while getting data from a third-party product, the solution works slowly."
"If the price were reduced then it would be more competitive."
"It should be easier to integrate this solution with non-Oracle databases, including cloud-based solutions hosted on Azure."
"It is not a very stable tool, and you need to monitor it perfectly."
"The main problem of Oracle GoldenGate is that sometimes, the processes get abended. Data consistency is also challenging."
"You cannot put everything in Golden Gate for the license and large models."
"Oracle GoldenGate's installation is not user-friendly, we had to read a lot of documentation for the setup and configuration."
"Additional performance metrics should be added and visible in a dashboard, displayed in a detailed manner."
"It's stable but you have to know how to maintain it. That's why it's not 10 out of 10 for me. There are some bugs, there are some issues here and there. All of a sudden your process is not working and you have to figure out why, and sometimes it's not so clear."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licenses are expensive, making it difficult to consider acquiring additional licenses to the existing ones."
"Alteryx is a little bit expensive compared to competing solutions."
"The pricing is bit expensive."
"Alteryx Designer is an expensive solution."
"I rate the product's pricing a two to three out of ten."
"I rate Alteryx Designer a six out of ten for pricing."
"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."
"Each license is something like $4,000."
"The price is high. Consequently, when clients or customers acquire the solution, they tend to utilize it to its maximum extent due to this factor."
"The licensing model should be improved to be more cost-effective for the end users."
"Pricing is based on anual licensing with additional costs for support packages."
"The solution would be costly for a small organization."
"We have purchased corporate licensing to use Oracle GoldenGate."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"In addition to the licensing fee, customers are also required to pay an additional 24 percent for the support."
"The one feature that I think Oracle could perhaps consider is, at the moment, the Veridata option is an extra cost. Golden Gate is an expensive product. You pay a lot for the best. But not including the Veridata license to prove that everything is working correctly... The big improvement for me would be to have that license built in. That would take it to the next level. That would make it a much better product. You may want to look at buying term licenses if you've just got a single migration to do. In that situation, you might want a term license for perhaps a year to save a lot of money, rather than buying a perpetual license."
