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.
Kashif Yaseen - PeerSpot reviewer
Plug-and-play convenience enhances productivity but needs better multimodal support
We mostly used the solution in the domain that I'm working. We had most of the use cases around chatbots and conversational BI The solution was plug-and-play, meaning most of the components were handled by the solution itself rather than building them from scratch. This was useful for our banking…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its performance. It is a powerful solution."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"The design portion of this tool is easy to use without code, which his something that something we can appreciate."
"The most valuable feature for me is integration."
"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"The philosophy of the citizen data scientist is the key piece, which means the no-code analytics capability. This is the feature that attracted us the most."
"One of the most interesting features of the product is their driverless component. The driverless component allows you to test several different algorithms along with navigating you through choosing the best algorithm."
"It is helpful, intuitive, and easy to use. The learning curve is not too steep."
"The ease of use in connecting to our cluster machines."
"Fast training, memory-efficient DataFrame manipulation, well-documented, easy-to-use algorithms, ability to integrate with enterprise Java apps (through POJO/MOJO) are the main reasons why we switched from Spark to H2O."
"The most valuable feature of H2O.ai is that it is plug-and-play."
"The most valuable features are the machine learning tools, the support for Jupyter Notebooks, and the collaboration that allows you to share it across people."
"AutoML helps in hands-free initial evaluations of efficiency/accuracy of ML algorithms."
 

Cons

"I think better visualization would be helpful to this solution."
"More statistics tools: We can use to compare SPSS statistics with some automated advisory."
"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."
"The workflow and pipeline need to improve."
"I think they should really work on integrating or have a capacity to integrate some algorithmic code. I think that's one of the most important things they need to be doing."
"When a process completes there is a notification, but the notification does not include the process's name."
"The only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"A feature which allows the user to be able to click on an output (in a file browser) and see the creation of the module would be fantastic."
"H2O.ai can improve in areas like multimodal support and prompt engineering."
"Referring to bullet-3 as well, H2O DataFrame manipulation capabilities are too primitive."
"It lacks the data manipulation capabilities of R and Pandas DataFrames. We would kill for dplyr offloading H2O."
"I would like to see more features related to deployment."
"The model management features could be improved."
"It needs a drag and drop GUI like KNIME, for easy access to and visibility of workflows."
"On the topic of model training and model governance, this solution cannot handle ten or twelve models running at the same time."
"The interpretability module has room for improvement. Also, it needs to improve its ability to integrate with other systems, like SageMaker, and the overall integration capability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"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 price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"It has a good price."
"We have seen significant ROI where we were able to use the product in certain key projects and could automate a lot of processes. We were even able to reduce staff."
