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 three data signs and data engineering are great features."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is the intelligence suite."
"Alteryx significantly reduces the time spent searching for specific information."
"Alteryx allowed us to access all the data, blend it, and output it as a dashboard for the user to access any time they needed it."
"Technical support is very helpful."
"I have been pretty satisfied with Alteryx's data blending feature as it is quite easy to use as a non-code platform."
"Alteryx is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter."
"Data processing is most valuable. It is one of the fastest data blockers out there in the market, which is a fascinating thing about Alteryx."
"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 most valuable feature is the performance."
"The idea that you don't have to generate reports each day but they are sent automatically is great."
 

Cons

"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."
"The tool could include more native connectors, such as for global ERPs, instead of requiring additional fees for these connections."
"Alteryx is not very robust when it comes to working on large sets of data."
"More emphasis on extensible R and data augmentation interface design."
"I think better visualization would be helpful to this solution."
"Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage."
"The scalability worries me a lot at the moment because the cost of the solution is high and it is not growing considerably. Unfortunately, we started during early COVID times and because of the economic downturn, all the cost cuttings, and everything, it is not growing as expected."
"Alteryx is just as complicated as coding, in my opinion."
"At this point, there are other tools that I would recommend before using Spotfire."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Additional templates would help to get things moving more quickly in terms of getting the reports out."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
"The seat is too expensive."
"It's probably on the pricey side, but they provide some really useful ways to grow and test."
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
