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.

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"Technical support is very helpful."
"Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form."
"The solution has excellent drag and drop functionality. There's no need for coding."
"Alteryx is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter."
"Geo features have made spatial mapping large retail universes possible."
"The scheduling feature for the automation is excellent."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"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

"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"It would be nice if they can provide Alteryx with more options for In-DB connectivity. That functionality is there, but it doesn't include all software we are connecting."
"The solution is improving continuously. They have, for example, just added automatic insights. If they continue to improve on their overall service offering, that would be ideal."
"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"The learning curve is long, and there is lack of e-learning; the tool is not user-friendly to a non-technical user."
"It's a technical product and those that don't have proper training will have to deal with a steep learning curve."
"A colleague of mind mentioned that the solution should have more options for the visualization of data."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"It has a good price."
"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
