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

"I believe that the ability to leverage the gallery for scalability, as well as the general data blending functionality, is most beneficial to our core-based users."
"I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."
"Overall, the solution as a whole is extremely useful."
"The product is very stable and super fast, also five-star."
"Any company considering a data processing platform which is light, offers good flexibility, and deals with moderate or low sized data, will find this is a really good spend."
"The basic package of manipulation tools are the tools that my team use the most."
"The support is very good."
"It is a very user-friendly product that doesn’t require a strong technical background; you can build something within an hour."
"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 idea that you don't have to generate reports each day but they are sent automatically is great."
"In general, I would say that this is a good tool and I recommend it."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setting up visualizations."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setting up visualizations."
 

Cons

"The solution could work on the BI side of the tool to make it a bit better."
"It's a technical product and those that don't have proper training will have to deal with a steep learning curve."
"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."
"Sometimes, there are performance constraints. Especially when a large file has to be ingested, the system slows down a bit. Its performance is the only thing that can be improved."
"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability."
"I think better visualization would be helpful to this solution."
"It's a technical product and those that don't have proper training will have to deal with a steep learning curve."
"Add inbuilt interactive visualization in Alteryx."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
"At this point, there are other tools that I would recommend before using Spotfire."
"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."
"I would like the visualization for the map of countries to be more easily configurable."
"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."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"While it offers extensive features, including predictive analytics, for those who mainly use it for data preparation and blending, the cost can be prohibitive."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a ten, as it is highly priced."
"It is an expensive solution."
"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).​"
