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 features are useful for data scientists who do not like to code because it is already in the system."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"This is a drag-and-drop tool which is easy-to-use and yet can be customized by creating your own components."
"The solution has been stable."
"I like the fact that you can easily blend data from different platforms."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"Alteryx is so advanced. It's just drag and drop."
"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."
"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."
"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

"The server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."
"Deep learning models are not currently supported."
"The only weakness I would say is on the visualization side of having that dynamic incapability."
"There are a few hiccups with specific data sets and languages or formats that the data comes in. That may be a minor problem, but we can work through it. We had some issues looking at XML format in added data, but it wasn't significant."
"It is a little bit pricey."
"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved."
"The only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"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."
"I would like the visualization for the map of countries to be more easily configurable."
"The scripting for customization could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."
"It's probably on the pricey side, but they provide some really useful ways to grow and test."
"It has a good price."
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"While it offers extensive features, including predictive analytics, for those who mainly use it for data preparation and blending, the cost can be prohibitive."
