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.
Jason Hale - PeerSpot reviewer
Intuitive interface and documentation make it simple to build jobs and APIs and logging helps pinpoint and resolve issues quickly
Talend is doing a lot of work at the moment, and it's not there yet, but the whole platform could be managed in a SaaS-type environment. You still need to have the Studio running on a virtual desktop or a PC. They will get to be able to do the whole thing inside your browser, so you don't need to install anything locally. It's down the track, and it's the nirvana that we were looking for in Boomi. But the biggest challenge they have is that the platform is so focused on the Studio for all of its development. They'll probably get there, but they have such a mature Studio client that it's a huge amount of work to get all of that functionality into a browser or SaaS platform. That's pretty much the biggest flaw with the Talend environment—being reliant on the Studio, which needed to be on a local machine. The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway. Other than that, it's bloody hard to find something because it just seems to be all good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features I found most valuable are the preparation features – the Join and the Transform."
"The most valuable features are the integrated properties and integrated connectivity."
"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 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."
"I like Alteryx's browser tool because you can view how your data is handled live. There are many other valuable tools like transpose and the crosstab. You can quickly pivot your data, and there are connections throughout the database. It's so easy to create a connection. If you connect to sign apps or a more complex database, the tool contains all the tools you need."
"The product offers very good analytics."
"Alteryx is quite easy to use, learn, and understand as a product."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
"The best thing I have found with Talend Open Studio is their major support for the lookups."
"The most valuable feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use."
"The data integration aspect of the solution is excellent."
"Talend is safe to use because it is very restrictive. It is easy to use when one learns how to manipulate data with SQL."
"A helpful feature for us is the integration with NoSQL databases."
"The most interesting aspect of the solution for us is that Talend Open Studio has a good balance between the features and the cost of the data management platform."
"We have contacted their technical support. They are great. They offer very professional help. If I need some technical answer, they are very professional. They are quick, professional, and very accurate."
 

Cons

"We discontinued using Alteryx's data science studio because it was not very user-friendly."
"Sometimes, while getting data from a third-party product, the solution works slowly."
"An improvement for Alteryx Designer would be faster bug fixes and updates."
"Alteryx Designer's cost should be improved."
"The actual usage part of it needs to be explained more. It's too vague right now."
"It is challenging to view the data using Alteryx Designer."
"The product could offer more connectors and more databases with support for the in-database function."
"It would be simpler if they provided a component where you could simply enter some parameters and see the results."
"I would say that writing to JSON is kind of a pain. It reads from a JSON file pretty well, but writing to a JSON file is not so great because its components are not good."
"Technical support and customer service need to be improved."
"In terms of what can be improved, the scheduling is not there in the sister version, while it is there in the cloud one, which is a paid version. If all kinds of scheduling could be available on the Open Studio that we generally use and practice on, that would be great. The scheduling of the data migration is currently not available in the sister version of Talend Open Studio that we are working on. It is available in the advanced version of the Talend. This is the one thing that can be improvised."
"There used to be many Youtube channels that offered Talend training, but now there don't seem to be any. The solution should offer more online training resources."
"The product could be more intuitive."
"The user interface could be made simpler."
"It is complicated to understand the configuration process for email components."
"The security features could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing a two to three out of ten."
"The tool is priced high."
"Alteryx is a little bit expensive compared to competing solutions."
"Alteryx Designer is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The licenses are expensive, making it difficult to consider acquiring additional licenses to the existing ones."
"I rate Alteryx Designer a six out of ten for pricing."
"Alteryx Designer is a very expensive solution."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
"The cost, particularly in Africa, is quite high."
"The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
"It does the job well for nothing — without cost. That's the advantage of this product."
"Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
