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.

Enables us to forecast and pull trends and has an easy installation
My rating for SAP Predictive Analytics would be an eight out of ten. If I have to be bold, I'll probably say that we're building away hours, and we are actually putting a lot of the actual predicting stuff back into the warehouse. So running it very bi-directionally. So I'm not sure what its integration features are at the moment, but that's an area we're going to look into in the next month or so.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"Alteryx is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter."
"It is a very user-friendly product that doesn’t require a strong technical background; you can build something within an hour."
"Alteryx significantly reduces the time spent searching for specific information."
"The product's most valuable features include its ease of use for non-technical users and machine learning capabilities."
"The modeling features are very good."
"SAP Predictive Analytics is better suited for business users because it hides the complexity of the model, whereas Microsoft Azure Machine Learning provides a lot more flexibility for technical professionals to tweak the model."
"We always purchase SAP support because it is very good."
"I think the features of the actual ability to forecast and pull trends and correlations has been really good."
"The most valuable features are the analytics and reporting."
"I have found that the solution is very stable."
 

Cons

"The product pricing is a concern. I use Alteryx because my company provides it, but it would be too expensive if I had to pay for it myself."
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"It is a little bit pricey."
"They can provide some pre-built tools for predictive analytics instead of us having to build all the tools. It should also be improved from the visualization aspect. It should have better visualization capabilities. There are tools out there that have better visualization capabilities, which Alteryx is lacking currently."
"The formula we currently use in Alteryx can be automated."
"Mastering Alteryx, a comprehensive solution, takes time. However, once you have gained proficiency with its layout and how to drag, drop, and connect components, it becomes remarkably easy, yet still thorough."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three."
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
"The license fee appears to be prohibitively expensive and overly secretive, leading our clients to opt for cloud-based solutions that only charge for data storage and processing time."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."
"It's very expensive. I'd rate it a four out of ten in terms of the price. It's great for big companies but not for small companies."
"The price could be better."
"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
"The pricing is reasonable"
