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

"Alteryx has helped us spend more time identifying results instead of performing analysis manually. It has helped us in our loading process, including scrubbing data and identifying data elements that need to be corrected. It enables us to understand our data sets a lot better."
"This is a drag-and-drop tool which is easy-to-use and yet can be customized by creating your own components."
"Alteryx has made us more agile and increased the speed and effectiveness of decision making."
"The product's most valuable features include its ease of use for non-technical users and machine learning capabilities."
"If you are looking for a self-service data analytics tool, Alteryx is a good solution."
"The main benefits that Alteryx provides for me are that it is easier to use, I do not have to code anything, so it is a non-coding tool, and it saves my time in that aspect."
"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 initial setup is easy, straightforward, and simple, and within hours I can have the designer up and running."
"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."
"We like the way we can drill down into each report to get back data on each project, and from the portfolio level I can see what is happening on it, including indirect costs hitting each CIO portfolio and 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."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setting up visualizations."
"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."
 

Cons

"It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."
"Alteryx could be improved in the area of analytics and central governance."
"I think sometimes the solution doesn't load properly or takes so much time for the workflows. Though the workflow runs and completes the file in Excel, if you use the same formula, it's a bit slow. Also, the image processing is not so good because I tried to do some image processing and they were like, sometimes they put two to eight. In the document, it was two, but the OCR predicted it as eight."
"If there is any way to make the learning curve less steep, that would be ideal."
"A feature which allows the user to be able to click on an output (in a file browser) and see the creation of the module would be fantastic."
"From a commercial standpoint, more options should be available for pricing. The licensing model needs to be specific."
"The technical support could have a little bit of improvement."
"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"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."
"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."
"Additional templates would help to get things moving more quickly in terms of getting the reports out."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
 

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."
"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"​Very transparent.​"
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"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 price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
