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.
WesamHabboub - PeerSpot reviewer
Stands out for its user-friendly interface, robust community support, competitive pricing and strategic approach to improving data accuracy
Its greatest asset lies in its user-friendly interface, specifically within the Talend Open Studio, known for its ease of use and familiarity among users. The robust community support proves invaluable when encountering challenges, providing a reliable resource for issue resolution. Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users. The most valuable feature lies in the capability to assign data quality issues to different stakeholders, facilitating the tracking and resolution of defective work. This functionality enables a streamlined process for identifying, assigning, and subsequently addressing data quality issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase is simple and straightforward."
"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."
"Alteryx is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter."
"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."
"This is a drag-and-drop tool which is easy-to-use and yet can be customized by creating your own components."
"Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form."
"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."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"The features that I find to be the most valuable are the extensibility, the integration, and the ease of integration with multiple platforms."
"The numerous components provided by Talend mean you’re able to create jobs quickly and efficiently."
"We are able to get emails from URLs very easily using this function when others fail."
"tLogRows are also great for finding bad data."
"I really like the fact that there are no out-of-the-box solutions regarding the development of jobs. Other vendors may have modules which cleanse your addresses. In Talend, you have the freedom to completely develop the process yourself. This can be tricky, but it also makes it fun."
"​This product speeds up the unit testing and QA for specific test scenarios. As a result, the development output quality can be evaluated and adjusted.​"
"It has definitely streamlined certain processes.​"
"​It lowers the amount of time in development from weeks to a day.​"
 

Cons

"The pricing seems high for my current needs. However, considering the benefits, it is easier to justify to management for broader company usage."
"It would be beneficial if Alteryx could lower its price or introduce a loyalty program for individual consultants and freelancers like me."
"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability."
"More statistics tools: We can use to compare SPSS statistics with some automated advisory."
"We can't browse multiple files. When we deploy a solution on a gallery, let's say I have ten different files, and I have to upload them all at once. This is something that's difficult in the gallery. So case by case, I see some downsides, but often we do something alternative."
"Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."
"It should have Linux support. It currently supports only Windows. It does not support any other platform. Its price should also be lower. 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. This is something that they need to change."
"All of the reports are migrated or exported in an Excel file, and most of the time, a business intelligence tool is required. They could have better reporting. The aesthetic could be improved."
"If the SQL input controls could dynamically determine the schema-based on the SQL alone, it would simplify the steps of having to use a manually created and saved schema for use in the TMap for the Postgres and Redshift components. This would make things even easier."
"NullPointerExceptions are going to be the death of me and are a big reason for our transition away from Talend. One day, it is fine with a 1000 blank rows, then the next day, it will find one blank cell and it breaks down."
"The ability to change the code when debugging the JavaScript could be improved."
"Finding assistance with issues can be spotty. With Python, there are literally millions of open source answers which are recent and apply to the version that we are using."
"There are too many functions which could be streamlined."
"In terms of the solution's technical support, the interactions were satisfactory, but there is room for improvement, especially in managing expectations."
"The performance is one area that Talend Data Quality could improve in because large volumes take a lot of time."
"If we encounter issues, it’s most likely when using the Talend Open Studio. The studio can be slow, get stuck, or crash. But again, it can be caused by the resources of your machine or your connection with the repository. If we encounter issues with the Studio we restart the Studio. In emergencies, we create and use a new workspace."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"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."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"It's a subscription-based platform, we renew it every year."
"It is cheaper than Informatica. Talend Data Quality costs somewhere between $10,000 to $12,000 per year for a seat license. It would cost around $20,000 per year for a concurrent license. It is the same for the whole big data solution, which comes with Talend DI, Talend DQ, and TDM."
"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."
"We did not purchase a separate license for DQ. It is part of our data platform suite, and I believe it is well-priced."
"Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users."
