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.

Good performance, reporting, and data visualization
The two similar solutions that I have used are MicroStrategy and Tableau. Tableau is pretty similar and it would be difficult for me to point out the differences. With MicroStrategy, it has a great feature where you build the representation in the database and it then the tool creates SQL queries by itself. There are more differences between these tools but this is the one essential difference.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its stand-alone version that we do not have to download dependencies for loads. Additionally, the scan is useful for beginners."
"Fast data processing and cleaning."
"I would recommend the solution 100%. I really think it is a better platform than competitors."
"Once we got it in-house, I knew its value."
"I like the fact that you can easily blend data from different platforms."
"Overall, the solution as a whole is extremely useful."
"The positive impact Alteryx has had on our organization includes our ability to automate quite a few complex ETL or data integrations, reducing coding by around 75 to 80 percent."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data preparation."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"We like the way we can drill down into each report to get back data on each project. From the portfolio level, I can see what is happening on it. That is a really important feature. I can look at indirect costs, for example, which are hitting each CIO portfolio. It's good to be able to see actual resources in terms of time as well as cost."
"In this sector of the market, it is indeed a better tool than the other data analytics tool, such as QlikView, for example."
"In general, I would say that this is a good tool and I recommend it."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setting up visualizations."
"The idea that you don't have to generate reports each day but they are sent automatically is great."
 

Cons

"I think the only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"Alteryx needs to focus on the supply chain aspect since detecting financial figures and data anomalies is currently insufficient."
"The learning curve is long, and there is lack of e-learning; the tool is not user-friendly to a non-technical user."
"Alteryx can improve in data science. They have to have more features and components in the data science aspect because they claim to be a data science tool. However, in order to be more competitive, they have to improve on their data science propositions. Thre are other solutions on the market, such as other players in the market, Data2Go or DataIQ, and Alteryx needs to catch up."
"More statistics tools: We can use to compare SPSS statistics with some automated advisory."
"The GUI interface functions but it could stand to be updated to a more modern look and feel."
"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."
"The pricing seems high for my current needs. However, considering the benefits, it is easier to justify to management for broader company usage."
"I would like the visualization for the map of countries to be more easily configurable."
"Whenever the client or someone was opening the report it would take around 15 to 20 minutes to open the first time."
"At this point, there are other tools that I would recommend before using Spotfire."
"Additional templates would help to get things moving more quickly in terms of getting the reports out."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
"In terms of performance, I can see there are some issues when you are working with big data. When we are taking it from the Data Lake, we have a lot of issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"If one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the tool's price as a one. The tool is expensive."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."
"There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else."
"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 desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
