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

"Alteryx integrates well; I can read data from a database on the web and import it into my Alteryx database, and it is very easy to use and quite user-friendly, which I enjoy."
"The most valuable feature for me is integration."
"Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form."
"It is a very user-friendly product that doesn’t require a strong technical background; you can build something within an hour."
"I like the fact that you can easily blend data from different platforms."
"The support is very good."
"The product's most valuable features include its ease of use for non-technical users and machine learning capabilities."
"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"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

"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."
"What they're struggling with is it's not as mature as Tableau in the user management area. It was tougher to manage the server part of it right away, especially since the user base has grown."
"The pricing seems high for my current needs. However, considering the benefits, it is easier to justify to management for broader company usage."
"The price could be better; though we are satisfied with the solution, we feel the price to be a bit on the expensive side and we would like to improve on and escalate Alteryx, but find it too expensive at the moment to do so."
"Visualization: There is room to improve here."
"The software is not fully optimized."
"The next feature release should include easier reporting."
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
"The designer license costs 5000 euros. The server edition is 1000 euros."
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else."
"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
