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

"Once we got it in-house, I knew its value."
"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."
"This is a drag-and-drop tool which is easy-to-use and yet can be customized by creating your own components."
"It's super easy to learn how to use it — the learning curve is very small."
"Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form."
"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"Alteryx is so advanced. It's just drag and drop."
"It has everything that one needs. Whatever you want to do with the data can be done with Alteryx."
"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."
"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."
"I have found that the solution is very stable."
"We always purchase SAP support because it is very good."
 

Cons

"Their US partner management program is actually unresponsive. One of the reasons why we don't have a formalized partnership plan with them is because their partner management team is atrociously unresponsive."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price of the Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"When the workflows are huge and complex, it may take some time to refresh it."
"I'd like it to be easier to work with PDF."
"It is not cheap."
"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability."
"The workflow and pipeline need to improve."
"The tool could include more native connectors, such as for global ERPs, instead of requiring additional fees for these connections."
"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."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"The price could be better."
"It's probably on the pricey side, but they provide some really useful ways to grow and test."
"It is $4,000 a year, so it is cheap versus other solutions. It also accomplishes three times the volume on the job in the same time (as the other solutions).​"
"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."
"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else."
"The pricing is reasonable"
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
