Theresa McLaughlin - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Alteryx has a good UI. We use it frequently in our projects. The tool comes with drag-and-drop features and is easy to understand for business needs. One situation where Alteryx's advanced analytics capabilities were particularly beneficial for us was during a forecasting project. Unlike Python, which requires coding, Alteryx simplifies the process significantly. With Alteryx, users can adjust parameters within the user interface without writing any code."
"I think the most valuable feature for Alteryx in a health facility is that it permits cleaning, organizing, and merging of databases such as Excel and Access."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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 solution offers excellent predicting power. The accuracy and confidence have been great."
"The drag and drop and layout is simple to understand, with intuitive names of features."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"Alteryx is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter."
"It is also easy to deploy."
"The data profile itself is excellent. You can understand the quality of the data in layman's terms."
 

Cons

"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability."
"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx."
"The technical support could have a little bit of improvement."
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"There are no ready models to use in analytics."
"The server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."
"Even when it already includes some AI models, this area could be improved."
"They could focus more on marketing the product. The current marketing strategy is not working."
"Although DQA can fetch data from most of the commonly used data sources, it has limited modifiers to get data, meaning that the number of technologies from which the data can be acquired is limited. For example, DQA does not support fetching data from Twitter or Facebook. Many competitors have this feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In order to have designers, and, if you want to collaborate, you have to buy a server. If the designer is $5,000, and if you want a server, you have to pay $80,000."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"While it offers extensive features, including predictive analytics, for those who mainly use it for data preparation and blending, the cost can be prohibitive."
"The seat is too expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The price could be better."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a ten, as it is highly priced."
"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"There is no need to buy a license. You can just download it and use it for free."
