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 one of the most complete and great customer service that I experienced with a software company/ecosystem."
"It is efficient in optimizing our ability to get information."
"Alteryx has a good UI. We use it frequently in our projects. The tool comes with drag-and-drop features and is easy to understand for business needs. One situation where Alteryx's advanced analytics capabilities were particularly beneficial for us was during a forecasting project. Unlike Python, which requires coding, Alteryx simplifies the process significantly. With Alteryx, users can adjust parameters within the user interface without writing any code."
"The solution has a very strong community that is involved in the product. It helps make the usage easier and helps us find answers to our questions."
"It allows for manipulation and automation, which has greatly reduced the amount of time required per project."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"It offered quick development, with the ability to process large datasets."
"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

"We are hoping that the NLP features will also support Chinese characters."
"When a process completes there is a notification, but the notification does not include the process's name."
"I'd like it to be easier to work with PDF."
"Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."
"There's a big jump in terms of pricing between license tiers. I'm not sure I understand why the price jumps are so high."
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"Even when it already includes some AI models, this area could be improved."
"We can't browse multiple files. When we deploy a solution on a gallery, let's say I have ten different files, and I have to upload them all at once. This is something that's difficult in the gallery. So case by case, I see some downsides, but often we do something alternative."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"The cost of Alteryx is approximately $2,900 annually."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
"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."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
