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.
Doug Isabelle - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form."
"Automation is the most valuable aspect for us. The ability to wrap business logic around the data is very helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"The scheduling feature for the automation is excellent."
"Technical support is very helpful."
"This is a drag-and-drop tool which is easy-to-use and yet can be customized by creating your own components."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"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."
"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 tool could include more native connectors, such as for global ERPs, instead of requiring additional fees for these connections."
"Even when it already includes some AI models, this area could be improved."
"Mastering Alteryx, a comprehensive solution, takes time. However, once you have gained proficiency with its layout and how to drag, drop, and connect components, it becomes remarkably easy, yet still thorough."
"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."
"Alteryx can improve the model management and deployment processing of large workloads."
"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"There are no ready models to use in analytics."
"They should work on its pricing."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"It 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."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a ten, as it is highly priced."
"It has a good price."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
