Featured Reviews

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.
VS
A straightforward initial setup and good reporting but needs better documentation
It would be ideal if it could be put onto the NMP where you can make more of an analysis. Right now, people don't have enough time to go through the report and make an analysis. It should provide the information of what is on the report into some kind of a dialogue form. Then, a person can ask certain questions and it could interactively give the required report. 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. If you are doing certain operations of RDBMS, you suffer in terms of the latency of the data. That can be improved upon. Users should be able to cross tables of the web pages they are developing on Spotfire and this needs to be really easy and convenient. Right now, you need to do a lot of tweaks. The solution should be more user-friendly and require fewer tweaks, extensions, and workarounds.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The drag-and-drop functionality, the ready-to-use analytics module, and the ability to track my data pipelines visually are the solution's most valuable features."
"Alteryx offers a cognitive approach to better understand data and purposes."
"The drag and drop and layout is simple to understand, with intuitive names of features."
"The modeling features are very good."
"It saves time on a lot projects. ​"
"Technical support is very helpful."
"The product's Macros probably are one of the most useful aspects."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"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. 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."
 

Cons

"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"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."
"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."
"There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search."
"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."
"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."
"I think they should really work on integrating or have a capacity to integrate some algorithmic code. I think that's one of the most important things they need to be doing."
"Deep learning models are not currently supported."
"I would like the visualization for the map of countries to be more easily configurable."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
"Additional templates would help to get things moving more quickly in terms of getting the reports out."
"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

"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."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The price could be better."
"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a ten, as it is highly priced."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
