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 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

"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"Alteryx's connectivity is essential, and we like the ability to connect the solution to multiple sources because it's easier than other data modeling and extraction solutions and is built on a self-service concept, so it's easy for anyone to open the tool and directly import or export data from it."
"Using the product, we earn a lot of time, which is used to do other tasks."
"I would recommend the solution 100%. I really think it is a better platform than competitors."
"Technical support is very helpful."
"Alteryx offers a cognitive approach to better understand data and purposes."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data preparation."
"I think the most valuable feature for Alteryx in a health facility is that it permits cleaning, organizing, and merging of databases such as Excel and Access."
"It's easy to manage and supports 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 solution could improve in the visualization."
"The price is quite high, which is why there is a limitation on licenses, and not everyone has the right to use it, so if they could decrease the price, more people could use it easily."
"When a process completes there is a notification, but the notification does not include the process's name."
"The gallery could improve in Alteryx. Additionally, if there was a Conditional Join feature it would be beneficial. Since I do not have this feature I have to use Python scripts."
"The formula we currently use in Alteryx can be automated."
"The solution could work on the BI side of the tool to make it a bit better."
"The workflow and pipeline need to improve."
"The biggest limitation is that the solution doesn't allow you to do sophisticated things in terms of fiddling with their implementations of machine learning and deep learning components."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"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."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
"In order to have designers, and, if you want to collaborate, you have to buy a server. If the designer is $5,000, and if you want a server, you have to pay $80,000."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
