Quick development enables seamless data processing despite occasional support issues
There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason. The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system. Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage. For instance, our licenses were temporarily lost during negotiations when an agreement couldn't be reached.

Integration with automation tools enhances customer sentiment analysis
Comprehend is a useful service for sentiment analysis as it analyzes customer transcripts to evaluate interactions between customers and agents. It provides scores indicating whether sentiments are positive, negative, or neutral. The integration with AWS services like DynamoDB and Lambda facilitates automated analysis, contributing to more informed assessments of customer interactions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a drag-and-drop tool which is easy-to-use and yet can be customized by creating your own components."
"Alteryx significantly reduces the time spent searching for specific information."
"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"It is efficient in optimizing our ability to get information."
"Data processing is most valuable. It is one of the fastest data blockers out there in the market, which is a fascinating thing about Alteryx."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its stand-alone version that we do not have to download dependencies for loads. Additionally, the scan is useful for beginners."
"The scheduling feature for the automation is excellent."
"The analytics are easy​."
"I am totally happy with AWS support, as they provide excellent solutions."
"Amazon Comprehend works with a large pool of doctors. They're building the product based on working with domain experts."
 

Cons

"There's a big jump in terms of pricing between license tiers. I'm not sure I understand why the price jumps are so high."
"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"The technical support could have a little bit of improvement."
"When a process completes there is a notification, but the notification does not include the process's name."
"I mostly used it for flat files, but I have many colleagues who reported that to tune a query, in case they want to directly connect to the database, there is no option to optimize the performance of the query, as we have in Informatica."
"Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"The principal problem is the pricing. They're expensive products."
"It is a bit complex to scale. It is still evolving as a product."
"There is room for improvement in terms of accuracy. For example, when a sentence expresses a negative sentiment, such as 'I want to cancel my credit card,' it is crucial for the system to accurately identify it as negative."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While it offers extensive features, including predictive analytics, for those who mainly use it for data preparation and blending, the cost can be prohibitive."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"We use the free version of the solution. There are enterprise licenses available. It cost approximately $5,000 annually. It is an expensive solution and there are additional features that cost more money."
"It has a good price."
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
