Featured Reviews

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.
WH
A seamless all-in-one solution
This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything. With other solutions, you'll need a separate platform for data ingestion, manipulation, etc. Then you'll need another tool for reporting. Palantir Gotham literally does it all. It generates a report regardless of the format. It can seamlessly generate it after the data has been collected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For my daily analytics needs, the entire Alteryx Designer platform is beneficial."
"The solution is easy to integrate and user-friendly."
"Alteryx Designer is stable."
"Alteryx Designer is a tool that is pretty much easy to install."
"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 product is intuitive and easy to use."
"The features I found most valuable are the preparation features – the Join and the Transform."
"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."
"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."
 

Cons

"Alteryx's data science and machine learning capabilities are where it loses out to DataIQ."
"Alteryx Designer overall should be easier to use."
"We discontinued using Alteryx's data science studio because it was not very user-friendly."
"The price of the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"For smaller clients with ten to 15 employees, Alteryx can be expensive."
"Its cost can sometimes be a drawback."
"When configuring the Logix, the UA could be improved."
"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."
"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is a bit expensive, it should be looked into."
"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."
"Each license is something like $4,000."
"The tool is priced high."
"The licenses are expensive, making it difficult to consider acquiring additional licenses to the existing ones."
"The pricing is bit expensive."
"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 an expensive solution."
