Vivek Vaibhav - PeerSpot reviewer
Has a good UI and drag-and-drop features which makes it easy to understand
There have been some issues with licensing, particularly with the increased prices. This has led some companies, including ours, to consider reducing the number of licenses or potentially discontinuing their use of Alteryx. Since most of our team members work with Alteryx, deploying workflows to clients who may not have licenses became a hurdle. Every user needed a license to run the workflows, which could pose difficulties, especially for clients who only needed occasional access for small data analyses. Unlike other software like Microsoft Power BI, which offers free trials or user licenses for basic functionality, Alteryx doesn't provide such options, potentially limiting its accessibility for occasional users. It should improve scalability.

Helpful for visualization purposes but delayed drill-downs feature
Compared to Power BI, I felt QuickSight lacks some features, like delayed drill-downs. Drill-downs were the main area where we found QuickSight lacking. Especially for root cause analysis, the ability to drill down from a high-level problem to its root is crucial. Aside from that, QuickSight is a good service.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The analytics are easy​."
"Predictive models, which are easy to use, and help a lot with fast design and deployment​."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is the intelligence suite."
"Alteryx effectively visualizes the flow of data and what happens at each stage. I also like that it's a no-code solution. I also like that you can troubleshoot certain parts of the workflow by putting them in a sandbox."
"The support is very good."
"Alteryx has made us more agile and increased the speed and effectiveness of decision making."
"The drag and drop and layout is simple to understand, with intuitive names of features."
"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"The product is easy to learn."
"QuickSight makes it easy to provision, create, and publish dashboards."
"The most valuable feature I have found is the low-level securities are very easy to use."
"I like that with Amazon QuickSight, you don't need to install an app to use its services. With other BI tools, you need to install the app, so Amazon QuickSight is better for me in this area."
"It helped the managers to visualize the data activities."
"The graph charts, pie charts, and box plots are valuable."
"The solution is simple to implement."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility to visualize certain logs."
 

Cons

"The tool could include more native connectors, such as for global ERPs, instead of requiring additional fees for these connections."
"What they're struggling with is it's not as mature as Tableau in the user management area. It was tougher to manage the server part of it right away, especially since the user base has grown."
"It's a technical product and those that don't have proper training will have to deal with a steep learning curve."
"They should work on its pricing."
"From a commercial standpoint, more options should be available for pricing. The licensing model needs to be specific."
"The solution could work on the BI side of the tool to make it a bit better."
"I'd like to see more artificial intelligence business tools or features in Alteryx."
"Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the number of visualizations and dashboards that are available."
"One area where Amazon QuickSight could improve is its formatting features for dashboards."
"Compared to Power BI, I felt QuickSight lacks some features, like delayed drill-downs. Drill-downs were the main area where we found QuickSight lacking."
"The cost of queries is very high."
"Amazon QuickSight has minimal features. The feature set can be improved to allow you to create good production-ready dashboards. This does not happen with QuickSite, it needs to mature to be used in production."
"I would like to see a feature that allows us to save a draft version before making it public and publishing it."
"QuickSight needs to add more visuals similar to what Power BI offers."
"It's not ideal for reports that are more complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite 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 tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"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).​"
"It has a good price."
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"It is simpler and cheaper than other solutions."
"I'm using a paid version of Amazon QuickSight, paying about $22 monthly. As I have yet to learn about the pricing for other tools, such as Power BI, I won't be able to compare."
"The product pricing is better than other vendors."
"A highly affordable cost structure with fixed membership and timeframe basis options."
"The solution is not affordable."
"The standard edition is free to use for exploration purposes while the enterprise edition needs to be paid for. The pricing for this solution is very reasonable."
"I wouldn't say that it is an expensive product, but to stay competitive they would need to bring down the prices."
"The Amazon QuickSight licensing model my company's on is pay-as-you-go, but I wouldn't be able to give the figures because that's handled by the finance department."
