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

"Alteryx has made us more agile and increased the speed and effectiveness of decision making."
"Alteryx has improved our organization because it provides an easy way to build machine learning models as well as to do citizen data science work."
"The basic package of manipulation tools are the tools that my team use the most."
"The product's Macros probably are one of the most useful aspects."
"The drag and drop and layout is simple to understand, with intuitive names of features."
"Once we got it in-house, I knew its value."
"The product is very stable and super fast, also five-star."
"Good data transformation."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"Sometimes, there are performance constraints. Especially when a large file has to be ingested, the system slows down a bit. Its performance is the only thing that can be improved."
"The solution is improving continuously. They have, for example, just added automatic insights. If they continue to improve on their overall service offering, that would be ideal."
"Add inbuilt interactive visualization in Alteryx."
"The interface could be improved."
"It is a little bit pricey."
"Technical support is okay and could be better. Sometimes, it takes about two to five days to hear an answer from the technical support team."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price should be lower. The key thing that we see is that talking about ROI is an important element at the time of purchase. Cost becomes a factor in every discussion. Justifying the ROI for these kinds of workflows is always a challenge, and the only way to counter the challenge is by addressing the pricing."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"It's probably on the pricey side, but they provide some really useful ways to grow and test."
"​Very transparent.​"
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
"The pricing is reasonable"
