Featured Reviews

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

"I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use."
"Alteryx has made us more agile and increased the speed and effectiveness of decision making."
"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."
"I found Alteryx's ability to modify data on the fly, using in-memory processing, very useful."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"The Alteryx designer has been the most useful feature in the solution."
"The product's Macros probably are one of the most useful aspects."
"Alteryx is a low-code platform, and that's the biggest reason why we chose it."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
 

Cons

"The only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"The formula we currently use in Alteryx can be automated."
"There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients."
"Alteryx can improve in data science. They have to have more features and components in the data science aspect because they claim to be a data science tool. However, in order to be more competitive, they have to improve on their data science propositions. Thre are other solutions on the market, such as other players in the market, Data2Go or DataIQ, and Alteryx needs to catch up."
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"The workflow and pipeline need to improve."
"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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).​"
"ROI is huge. There are some secondary benefits, like analysts getting their post 5 PM time back or the ability to shorten all closing processes to a half or less."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
"If one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the tool's price as a one. The tool is expensive."
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"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."
"It is an expensive solution."
"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."
