Automated complex ETL workflows have reduced coding effort and improved data integration
One area for improvement is in integrating mostly the data which comes from telemetry, where I can see some sort of improvisations can be made. It is a massive amount of unstructured data, and I believe Alteryx is able to handle it, but there can be some improvements. Suggestions for improvements in Alteryx include areas for increasing efficiency, particularly in processing telemetry data, which involves dealing with large volumes of unstructured data. Additionally, I believe when we use filter tools immediately after the input source, there can be slowdowns when handling massive data. The user experience of Alteryx is generally good, but there are areas for improvement from a user's perspective, particularly regarding user interface enhancements. I think there's always room for improvement, but otherwise, Alteryx has been a great tool for me. We haven't experienced significant disruptions while increasing data volumes, though I sense there could be performance issues as data grows exponentially. This is an area that could use improvement in Alteryx.

Efficient data warehouse automation with robust features, but may require enhancements in user-friendly self-service options and pricing flexibility for broader corporate appeal
It could enhance its capabilities in the realm of self-service options as currently, it is more suited for individuals with technical proficiency who can create pages using it. When it comes to end users who may lack technical expertise, they are limited to toggling between existing developments. To empower end users to make critical changes without relying heavily on technical expertise, it would be beneficial to introduce more user-friendly features for development and modification. If it could incorporate correlation analysis capabilities into its platform, especially in a user-friendly manner, it would greatly enhance the tool's overall utility and make it an even more outstanding solution. There is a room for improvement regarding stability.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation is the most valuable aspect for us. The ability to wrap business logic around the data is very helpful."
"Any company considering a data processing platform which is light, offers good flexibility, and deals with moderate or low sized data, will find this is a really good spend."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"The initial setup was easy, overall; it's easy to use and easy to learn and you don't have to be a data scientist or an engineer to use it, which makes the setup very straightforward as the overall design is very approachable."
"Alteryx has cut down on time spent cleaning and transforming the data, improved productivity, and transitioning from PoC to other users was seamless because the users upskilled quickly and could take ownership without a steep learning curve."
"If you are looking for a self-service data analytics tool, Alteryx is a good solution."
"I believe in the ability to connect to multiple data sources, as well as the ease of use to transform data and output data in a variety of formats."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple and straightforward."
"One of the most valuable features was the ability to integrate multiple source systems that mainly used structured IDBMS versions."
"The most valuable is its excellence as a graphical data representation tool and the versatility it offers, especially with drill-down capabilities."
"One of the most valuable features of this tool is its automation capabilities, allowing us to design the warehouse in an automated manner. Additionally, we can generate Data Lifecycle Policies (DLP) reports and efficiently implement updates and best practices based on proven design patterns."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Qlik Compose is good enough. It is user-friendly and intuitive."
"It can scale."
"There were many valuable features, such as extracting any data to put in the cloud. For example, Qlik was able to gather data from SAP and extract SAP data from the platforms."
"As long as you pick the solution that best fits with your requirements, you won't find that performance is a problem. It's good."
 

Cons

"It should have Linux support. It currently supports only Windows. It does not support any other platform. Its price should also be lower. Their US partner management program is actually unresponsive. One of the reasons why we don't have a formalized partnership plan with them is because their partner management team is atrociously unresponsive. This is something that they need to change."
"The GUI interface functions but it could stand to be updated to a more modern look and feel."
"The solution can be made more affordable."
"Configuration is very low and is not good for the customer end."
"It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx."
"Alteryx is not very robust when it comes to working on large sets of data."
"It is a little bit pricey."
"In some ways, I believe it is not yet as integrated as it could be."
"Qlik's ETL and data transformation could be better."
"There is some scope for improvement around the documentation, and a better UI would definitely help."
"There should be proper documentation available for the implementation process."
"For more complex work, we are not using Qlik Compose because it cannot handle very high volumes at the moment. It needs the same batching capabilities that other ETL tools have. We can't batch the data into small chunks when transforming large amounts of data. It tries to do everything in one shot and that's where it fails."
"I'd like to have access to more developer training materials."
"When processing data from certain tables with a large volume of data, we encounter significant delays. For instance, when dealing with around one million records, it typically takes three to four hours. To address this, I aim to implement performance improvements across all tables, ensuring swift processing similar to those that are currently complete within seconds. The performance issue primarily arises when we analyze the inserts and updates from the source, subsequently dropping the table. While new insertions are handled promptly, updates are processed slowly, leading to performance issues. Despite consulting our Qlik vendors, they were unable to pinpoint the exact cause of this occurrence. Consequently, I am seeking ways to optimize performance within Qlik Compose, specifically concerning updates."
"It would be better if the first level of technical support were a bit more technically knowledgeable to solve the problem. I think they could also improve the injection of custom scripts. It is pretty difficult to add additional scripts. If the modeling doesn't give you what you want, and you want to change the script generated by the modeling, it is a bit more challenging than in most other products. It is very good with standard form type systems, but if you get a more complicated data paradigm, it tends to struggle with transforming that into a model."
"The solution has room for improvement in the ETL. They have an ETL, but when it comes to the monitoring portion, Qlik Compose doesn't provide a feature for monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price should be lower. The key thing that we see is that talking about ROI is an important element at the time of purchase. Cost becomes a factor in every discussion. Justifying the ROI for these kinds of workflows is always a challenge, and the only way to counter the challenge is by addressing the pricing."
"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."
"If one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the tool's price as a one. The tool is expensive."
"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a ten, as it is highly priced."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"The seat is too expensive."
"Alteryx is a little bit expensive compared to competing solutions."
"While they outperform Tableau, there's room for improvement in Qlik's pricing structures, especially for corporate clients like us."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the solution a six."
