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

"The three data signs and data engineering are great features."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is the intelligence suite."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"The tools are built-in; you just plug and play, drag and drop, and once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form."
"The GUI is simple and it integrates with Python."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"The main benefits that Alteryx provides for me are that it is easier to use, I do not have to code anything, so it is a non-coding tool, and it saves my time in that aspect."
"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

"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"A feature which allows the user to be able to click on an output (in a file browser) and see the creation of the module would be fantastic."
"It would be beneficial if Alteryx could lower its price or introduce a loyalty program for individual consultants and freelancers like me."
"We've had a lot of issues within the Alteryx Server. It really could be improved."
"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"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."
"It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx."
"The solution just lacks in terms of data visualization. That is why we use Tableau and Qlik in our organization. They help to pick up the slack. If data visualization was added, Alteryx would be a very good tool, and much more complete."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"In order to have designers, and, if you want to collaborate, you have to buy a server. If the designer is $5,000, and if you want a server, you have to pay $80,000."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"​Very transparent.​"
"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."
"The seat is too expensive."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
