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.
Divya Prakash - PeerSpot reviewer
An integration tool that is highly compatible and easy to maintain
Dealing with the large file sizes has occasionally been a challenge, though we have found workarounds. But dealing with large file sizes could be easy in integrations. I have also come across schema files where headers, footers, and bodies are there, but it's not a valid schema. None of the MSCAs are defined properly. In such cases, we have to think of multiple workarounds, such as splitting or merging. But this is a standard requirement for organizations, so custom solutions should be provided. There are cases when the systems don't expect additional MSCAs, or they expect headers, footers, or tags with different values. But this is not a proper XML. So if we are dealing with XML conversions, mapping, and integrations, we have to do some custom work. These are solutions that Oracle can provide.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like Alteryx Designer's drag-and-drop feature, where you drag a component, configure it and quickly run it."
"The product is very stable. The performance is reliable."
"It has an easy setup process."
"The main valuable aspect is the simplicity of use across all features."
"The main valuable aspect is the simplicity of use across all features."
"The solution is easy to integrate and user-friendly."
"The product offers very good analytics."
"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 product's initial setup phase is simple."
"It's very easy to get started on the solution. It's also easy to maintain, scale, and integrate according to cost factors."
"We mainly use the solution's ICS component."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service offers a lot of adaptors."
"The product's initial setup phase is the best since we don't have to do anything. There is nothing like where you need to do some kind of scaling or capacity planning."
"In our customers' organizations, Oracle Integration Cloud Service mainly integrates their other applications with the Oracle Fusion stack. It's very handy in scenarios where they want to seamlessly maintain data flow between applications, with business tools and logic validations in place."
"The OIC is very good."
"It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"Its price can be improved. It is too expensive for our country. Because of its high price, we can't sell Alteryx Designer in this region. We used to be their reseller partner. There is also an additional cost for automating the data and running the flows, which makes it even more expensive. It will be very good if they can let users automate the data for free. Other solutions like Tableau provide this feature for free."
"If the price were reduced then it would be more competitive."
"The conditional join feature should be improved."
"Sometimes, while getting data from a third-party product, the solution works slowly."
"Optimizing processing times is one area I would like to see improved in Alteryx Designer. Sometimes, the workflows take an extremely long time to run. There are days when I have had to wait two to three hours for a single process to complete. There needs to be a functionality to split the processes."
"The actual usage part of it needs to be explained more. It's too vague right now."
"Alteryx could move faster to create a cloud equivalent of the desktop version of Designer."
"It is challenging to view the data using Alteryx Designer."
"They should provide tutorials for beginners to learn about the processes."
"Make it more similar to the on-premises features. For example, if you can edit the code directly rather than just dragging and dropping, or if you can edit the examples by going into the background, and one-click migration, I'd like to see included in the next release."
"Lacks features for more complex integrations."
"Oracle-based automation blueprints for the majority of the integrations would be helpful to have in a future release."
"Sometimes, the tech support is slow to get back to us. We have had to wait up to two weeks for a response."
"The error retrying mechanism could be improved. If an error occurs, it can be retried automatically, it would be helpful."
"Dealing with the large file size has occasionally been a challenge."
"It has lengthy documentation, making the process of building applications more time-consuming."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing a two to three out of ten."
"Alteryx is a little bit expensive compared to competing solutions."
"Each license is something like $4,000."
"The tool is priced high."
"Alteryx Designer is an expensive solution."
"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."
"Alteryx Designer is a very expensive solution."
"The price of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is reasonable to start with, but when you scale it becomes expensive."
"In the case of Oracle Integration Cloud, costs can be "predictable" as far as the platform and infrastructure are concerned."
"Oracle uses a universal credit model for OCI. Clients commit to an annual budget and can choose which products to use and build during their contract period. Billing is based on consumption - you're only billed for the products you use."
"The price of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is good. It is reasonable and is priced well for the market segment. The model they use is on a per-package unit and we have a two-year subscription."
"The price is fair."
"Pricing is not on the economic side since it is a tool for enterprise-sized companies."
"It specifies how much data you use and how much storage you require, among other things."
"The solution is cost-effective."
