An easy-to-use automation solution with satisfying customer support
With Alteryx, we mostly fetch data from SQL, SQL server databases, and SharePoint. Some team members were doing the task using Excel for a long time with Macros and Excel functions like VLOOKUP, and these things become quite easy when you are using Alteryx as a solution. We have automated the…

An integration platform that enables you to automate tasks by connecting apps and services
Follow best practices,engage in their professional services to help build your messaging system and to be PR have some PR emphasis and and blue Bluegreen deployment You could take half your your clusters out, upgrade them, and put them back in so you have a quick callback. And also patch quarterly, we got we got downbound. And and at that point, it's a little hard to get into the cycle when you're releasing software every every week, and you're trying to, go through an upgrade seven fifty servers, it's a little hard to get into the upgrade flow when when you're running that tight. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Alteryx Designer is its ability to select all the inputs and formulas."
"I have been using Alteryx Designer only for data modeling and data structuring."
"Alteryx Designer's user interface is great, as it is very user-friendly."
"The product is very stable. The performance is reliable."
"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 offers very good analytics."
"When you open a raw Excel file, it can be hard to look at everything in detail. Alteryx makes it much easier to go through the data, summarize it, and use different tools for analysis."
"The solution's ability to hold a huge amount of data in its memory is significant."
"With webMethods, the creation of servers and the utilization of Trading Networks facilitate B2B integration. It resolves any related issues effectively."
"When it comes to the user interface, I'm already really used to it. I cannot say anything against it. For me, it's easy to use."
"The developer portal is a valuable feature."
"It is a bundled product stack for A2A and B2B usage. It is one of the best products which I have used during my integration career."
"What I like best about webMethods Integration Server is its portfolio of connectors."
"We can arrange data caching and look at the solid state. Also, the API gateway is a very good component that can handle relevant cachings and integrations, as well as and also load permitting."
"I feel comfortable using this product with its ease of building interfaces for developers. This is a better integration tool for integrating with various applications like Oracle, Salesforce, mainframes, etc. It works fine in the integration of legacy software as well."
"The solution is scalable."
 

Cons

"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."
"An improvement for Alteryx Designer would be faster bug fixes and updates."
"Alteryx Designer's cost should be improved."
"When it comes to the pivoting part, the drill-through option is not there in Alteryx."
"If the price were reduced then it would be more competitive."
"The price of the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"It is challenging to view the data using Alteryx Designer."
"The on-premises setup can be difficult."
"Technical support is an area where they can improve."
"A potential drawback of webMethods.io API is its adaptability to legacy systems, which can vary in compatibility."
"webMethods.io Integration's installation is complex. It should also improve integration and connectors."
"The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly."
"The solution has big instances when deployed under microservices or in a containerized platform. They need to improve that so that it is competitive with other integration solutions, like Redis and Kafka. Deployments under microservices with those solutions are much more lightweight, in the size of the runtime itself, compared with Software AG."
"I'd like to see the admin portal for managing the integration server go up a level, to have more capabilities and to be given a more modern web interface."
"I would like the solution to provide bi-weekly updates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licenses are expensive, making it difficult to consider acquiring additional licenses to the existing ones."
"The tool is priced high."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is bit expensive."
"Alteryx Designer is a very expensive solution."
"I rate Alteryx Designer a six out of ten for pricing."
"There are no hidden costs in addition to the standard licensing fees for webMethods. For corporate organizations, it's a very cheap or fairly priced product, but for growing or small businesses, it's quite expensive. These businesses would probably need to consider an enterprise services bus at some point. Thus, from a pricing point, it closes out non-cooperate businesses."
"Based on our team discussions and feedback, it is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."
"The vendor is flexible with respect to pricing."
"Most of my clients would like the price of the solution to be reduced."
"It is worth the cost."
"The price is a little bit high, especially regarding their support."
"webMethods Integration Server is expensive, and there's no fixed price on it because it has a point pricing model. You can negotiate, which makes it interesting."
"The solution’s pricing is too high."
