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.
Manilal Kasera - PeerSpot reviewer
Transparent with good reliability and good data visibility
The initial setup had a medium level of difficulty. If we go through the documentation, we can learn about what to do. In Palantir, they had a section called Academy, and that Academy was quite useful. If you go through that as a new user, it makes the process easier as you learn what to do. Initially, we didn't have many sources that would help us learn things, so we struggled a bit. In contrast, with Azure and Amazon Cloud, you have many sources from where you would be easily able to learn. You could just Google what you needed with them, as there's so much available documentation online. What was easy was the fact that everything was in one place. With AWS Cloud, there are many applications to support. You can use Glue or Athena, and you have all these other applications. However, with Palantir, everything is easy due to the fact that it is centralized. It's drag and drop and everything is very transparent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product offers very good analytics."
"It has an easy setup process."
"The solution is easy to integrate and user-friendly."
"The product is intuitive and easy to use."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx Designer is its ability to select all the inputs and formulas."
"Alteryx Designer is easier to use for machine learning models. However, I am not very good at Python scripts which you will need to make the machine learning scripts."
"Alteryx Designer is a tool that is pretty much easy to install."
"The data lineage is great."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"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 is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"Great features available in one tool."
 

Cons

"An improvement for Alteryx Designer would be faster bug fixes and updates."
"Alteryx Designer's pricing and support could be improved."
"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."
"Sometimes, while getting data from a third-party product, the solution works slowly."
"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."
"It is challenging to view the data using Alteryx Designer."
"When it comes to the pivoting part, the drill-through option is not there in Alteryx."
"The conditional join feature should be improved."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"The workflow could be improved."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"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."
