Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has great UI.""Alteryx Designer is easier to use for machine learning models. However, I am not very good at Python scripts which you will need to make the machine learning scripts.""I believe in the ability to connect to multiple data sources, as well as the ease of use to transform data and output data in a variety of formats.""I have been using Alteryx Designer only for data modeling and data structuring.""The functionality of drag and drop is the most valuable. It is a very user-friendly tool that can be understood easily. My teams also work with other solutions, such as Integration Services, and these solutions are very difficult for people who don't have technical knowledge.""For my daily analytics needs, the entire Alteryx Designer platform is beneficial.""The product offers very good analytics.""It helps them to create customized workflows, transform data, perform calculations, and consolidate multiple data sources into a target database."

"It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies.""The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform.""It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient.""It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly.""Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."

Cons
"Its cost can sometimes be a drawback.""Alteryx could move faster to create a cloud equivalent of the desktop version of Designer.""Sometimes, while getting data from a third-party product, the solution works slowly.""The only thing is sometimes it can be a bit slow.""When configuring the Logix, the UA could be improved.""Alteryx's data science and machine learning capabilities are where it loses out to DataIQ.""The actual usage part of it needs to be explained more. It's too vague right now.""An improvement for Alteryx Designer would be faster bug fixes and updates."

More Alteryx Designer Cons →

"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved.""The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities.""The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement.""A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe.""It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function.""From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems.""Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is too expensive for our country. We are a small country, so it is too difficult to sell this solution. With Alteryx Designer, if you want to automate the data and run the flows, you have to pay more money. We were trying to automate the flows, and we found out that people have to pay 600 more for this feature, which makes it even more expensive. We are a partner for Tableau, and we are working with Tableau Prep, which is like a mini Alteryx. In Tableau Prep, you can drag and drop and make new connections with the different data sources. You can make all the connections. You can also publish a source. You don't have to pay more money with Tableau. You pay like $5 per user per month to access it."
  • "Alteryx is a little bit expensive compared to competing solutions."
  • "Alteryx Designer is an expensive solution."
  • "I rate Alteryx Designer a six out of ten for pricing."
  • "The licenses are expensive, making it difficult to consider acquiring additional licenses to the existing ones."
  • "Each license is something like $4,000."
  • "I rate the price of Alteryx Designer as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is extremely expensive, and ten is a highly cheap product."
  • "I rate the price of Alteryx Designer a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

  • "On a scale of one to ten, the pricing is around a six. We have a consumption model and the pricing is higher. If you are using any kind of ML-based approach, machine learning, or some advanced analytics, you may have to pay more."
  • "Speaking about price, I would say that it's market-related. Also, there are costs in addition to the standard license fees since different add-ons depend on what you require."
  • "Workato is an expensive solution."
