Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has great UI.""Alteryx is quite easy to use, learn, and understand as a product.""Alteryx Designer offers a drag-and-drop interface, making it highly user-friendly. Unlike Python and Apache Airflow, which require coding, Alteryx allows users to accomplish tasks without any programming knowledge. Its simplicity makes it accessible to anyone, even those without coding experience, and this ease of use is one of Alteryx's key advantages.""The features I found most valuable are the preparation features – the Join and the Transform.""The product is intuitive and easy to use.""The solution is easy to integrate and user-friendly.""The product is very stable. The performance is reliable.""Alteryx Designer's best features are that it's easy to use and performs well."

"The virtualization tool is useful.""Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration.""Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly.""The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case.""It's scalable.""The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you.""The data lineage is great.""The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."

Cons
"The major concern in Alteryx Designer stems from the high costs attached to the product.""An improvement for Alteryx Designer would be faster bug fixes and updates.""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.""Based on my experience, the tool could be improved by providing sample reports or pre-configured workflows tailored to specific industries, like finance. It needs to integrate an AI chatbot as well.""The conditional join feature should be improved.""The only thing is sometimes it can be a bit slow.""Sometimes, while getting data from a third-party product, the solution works slowly.""It is challenging to view the data using Alteryx Designer."

More Alteryx Designer Cons →

"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved.""They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure.""The solution could use more online documentation for new users.""The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved.""It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry.""If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly.""There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers.""Some error messages can be very cryptic."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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 is a little bit expensive compared to competing solutions."
  • "Alteryx Designer is an expensive solution."
  • "I rate Alteryx Designer a six out of ten for pricing."
  • "The licenses are expensive, making it difficult to consider acquiring additional licenses to the existing ones."
  • "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."
  • "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."
