Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, SAS, Quest Software and others in Data Preparation Tools."The most valuable feature of Alteryx is the intelligence suite."
"The most valuable feature for me is integration."
"I like the fact that you can easily blend data from different platforms."
"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 Alteryx designer has been the most useful feature in the solution."
"The drag-and-drop functionality, the ready-to-use analytics module, and the ability to track my data pipelines visually are the solution's most valuable features."
"I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."
"It allows for manipulation and automation, which has greatly reduced the amount of time required per project."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to map data and write workflows with logic inside them."
"You can create a lot of ingestions based on the file levels or based on the time."
"The learning curve is long, and there is lack of e-learning; the tool is not user-friendly to a non-technical user."
"From a commercial standpoint, more options should be available for pricing. The licensing model needs to be specific."
"It's a technical product and those that don't have proper training will have to deal with a steep learning curve."
"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."
"I mostly used it for flat files, but I have many colleagues who reported that to tune a query, in case they want to directly connect to the database, there is no option to optimize the performance of the query, as we have in Informatica."
"In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI."
"There are a few hiccups with specific data sets and languages or formats that the data comes in. That may be a minor problem, but we can work through it. We had some issues looking at XML format in added data, but it wasn't significant."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"The major pain point with Zaloni is that their exception handling is not good. If any event happens, it doesn't tell you at which point it failed and it doesn't tell the operations team how they should take corrective actions unless you call Zaloni and then identify the issues. That is one issue."
