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

"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"Alteryx has made us more agile and increased the speed and effectiveness of decision making."
"The product's Macros probably are one of the most useful aspects."
"Any company considering a data processing platform which is light, offers good flexibility, and deals with moderate or low sized data, will find this is a really good spend."
"The amount of manual labor that we're saving by writing those workflows is huge."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"The initial setup was easy, overall; it's easy to use and easy to learn and you don't have to be a data scientist or an engineer to use it, which makes the setup very straightforward as the overall design is very approachable."
"Alteryx has positively impacted my organization by saving time, improving accuracy, and enabling better decision-making."
"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

"I'd like it to be easier to work with PDF."
"I mostly used it for flat files, but I have many colleagues who reported that to tune a query, in case they want to directly connect to the database, there is no option to optimize the performance of the query, as we have in Informatica."
"The software is not fully optimized."
"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."
"The workflow and pipeline need to improve."
"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"Due to some complexities in Alteryx, we are moving away from it."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
