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.

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

"I like the fact that you can easily blend data from different platforms."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is the intelligence suite."
"It has certainly paid for itself on a per-user basis."
"Alteryx offers a cognitive approach to better understand data and purposes."
"The tools are built-in; you just plug and play, drag and drop, and once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"The drag and drop and layout is simple to understand, with intuitive names of features."
"Before using Alteryx, I used Excel and another tool called Quest for creating reports, which took more than one or two hours to generate just one report, but now with Alteryx, it takes just five minutes."
"Amazon Comprehend works with a large pool of doctors. They're building the product based on working with domain experts."
"I am totally happy with AWS support, as they provide excellent solutions."
 

Cons

"It is a little bit pricey."
"The biggest limitation is that the solution doesn't allow you to do sophisticated things in terms of fiddling with their implementations of machine learning and deep learning components."
"In terms of data extraction, during the sequel queries of servers as an example, you can structure your sequel query and it's fine, very readable, but once you run it, it crashes into one complex single line, and makes it very difficult."
"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."
"For me, it was a bit challenging to figure out how to work with Alteryx."
"The tool could include more native connectors, such as for global ERPs, instead of requiring additional fees for these connections."
"A colleague of mind mentioned that the solution should have more options for the visualization of data."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price of the Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"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

"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"It is an expensive solution."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a ten, as it is highly priced."
"It is $4,000 a year, so it is cheap versus other solutions. It also accomplishes three times the volume on the job in the same time (as the other solutions).​"
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
