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.

Good management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments
In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many rouge devices broadcasting, and the devices is getting interference from another channel. The only to fix this is to reboot and we need something that reboots on the fly. We also need better security for VLANs and VPNs. There are issues with certain Apple devices. Technical support is not very helpful. The initial setup, which seemed straightforward at first, had to be redone. This may not have been the fault of the product. We're not sure what went wrong.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its initial setup is easy."
"The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"The tools are built-in. You just plug and play, drag and drop, once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"It has everything that one needs. Whatever you want to do with the data can be done with Alteryx."
"Geo features have made spatial mapping large retail universes possible."
"The most valuable feature is user-friendliness, as Alteryx can be used by those without any coding experience or experienced data scientists as it has the functionality to embed R and Python scripts."
"Alteryx is a low-code platform, and that's the biggest reason why we chose it."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
 

Cons

"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"Alteryx needs to focus on the supply chain aspect since detecting financial figures and data anomalies is currently insufficient."
"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients."
"Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."
"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage."
"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"Its price should be lower. The key thing that we see is that talking about ROI is an important element at the time of purchase. Cost becomes a factor in every discussion. Justifying the ROI for these kinds of workflows is always a challenge, and the only way to counter the challenge is by addressing the pricing."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"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).​"
"There is no license. The solution is free."
