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

"It is efficient in optimizing our ability to get information."
"Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form."
"I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."
"The tools are built-in. You just plug and play, drag and drop, once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"Alteryx is a simple and easy-to-use solution."
"The design portion of this tool is easy to use without code, which his something that something we can appreciate."
"Alteryx helps me do a lot of automation. The best thing about Alteryx is that you don't have to repeat the workflow over and over again. Unlike Excel, where you need to write formulas for each new file, Alteryx follows a consistent process. You can schedule and automate the workflow, even if the files change."
"The GUI is simple and it integrates with Python."
"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 server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."
"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."
"The scalability worries me a lot at the moment because the cost of the solution is high and it is not growing considerably. Unfortunately, we started during early COVID times and because of the economic downturn, all the cost cuttings, and everything, it is not growing as expected."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"Sometimes, there are performance constraints. Especially when a large file has to be ingested, the system slows down a bit. Its performance is the only thing that can be improved."
"There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients."
"They can provide some pre-built tools for predictive analytics instead of us having to build all the tools. It should also be improved from the visualization aspect. It should have better visualization capabilities. There are tools out there that have better visualization capabilities, which Alteryx is lacking currently."
"It would be beneficial if Alteryx could lower its price or introduce a loyalty program for individual consultants and freelancers like me."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price should be lower. The key thing that we see is that talking about ROI is an important element at the time of purchase. Cost becomes a factor in every discussion. Justifying the ROI for these kinds of workflows is always a challenge, and the only way to counter the challenge is by addressing the pricing."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"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."
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"The price could be better."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a ten, as it is highly priced."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
