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 basic package of manipulation tools are the tools that my team use the most."
"The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."
"Shortens the time required to start analyzing data and looking for insights, minimizing the tasks that do not add value to the business and maximizing the analysis phase."
"After the implementation of Alteryx, the turnaround time has been reduced to 10 minutes or maybe in some cases, a couple of minutes."
"The initial setup is easy, straightforward, and simple, and within hours I can have the designer up and running."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"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."
"Workflows and a large number of tools were a quick QA methodology and rapid prototype creation tool."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the analytics and reporting."
"I think the features of the actual ability to forecast and pull trends and correlations has been really good."
"We always purchase SAP support because it is very good."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve in the visualization."
"There are a few hiccups with specific data sets and languages or formats that the data comes in. That may be a minor problem, but we can work through it. We had some issues looking at XML format in added data, but it wasn't significant."
"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."
"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."
"There are a few ways the solution could be made better. The graphical user interface could be made more friendly."
"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."
"In terms of data extraction, during the sequel queries of servers as an example, you can structure your sequel query and it's fine, very readable, but once you run it, it crashes into one complex single line, and makes it very difficult."
"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"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

"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
"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."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"It's probably on the pricey side, but they provide some really useful ways to grow and test."
"We use the free version of the solution. There are enterprise licenses available. It cost approximately $5,000 annually. It is an expensive solution and there are additional features that cost more money."
"The pricing is reasonable"
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
