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 is user-friendliness, as Alteryx can be used by those without any coding experience or experienced data scientists as it has the functionality to embed R and Python scripts.""Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data.""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.""I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use.""Automation is the most valuable aspect for us. The ability to wrap business logic around the data is very helpful.""Good data transformation.""The solution has been stable."

"The deployment is very good, where you only need to press a few buttons.""The Autopilot feature is really good because it's helpful for people who don't have much experience with coding or data pipelines. When we suggest SageMaker to clients, they don't have to go through all the steps manually. They can leverage Autopilot to choose variables, run experiments, and monitor costs. The results are also pretty accurate.""The superb thing that SageMaker brings is that it wraps everything well. It's got the deployment, the whole framework.""The solution is easy to scale...The documentation and online community support have been sufficient for us so far.""The solution's ability to improve work at my organization stems from the ensemble model and a combination of various models it provides.""The few projects we have done have been promising.""We've had experience with unique ML projects using SageMaker. For example, we're developing a platform similar to ChatGPT that requires models. We utilize Amazon SageMaker to create endpoints for these models, making accessing them convenient as needed.""Allows you to create API endpoints."

Cons
"We are hoping that the NLP features will also support Chinese characters.""Alteryx could be improved in the area of analytics and central governance.""The price of the solution could improve by being lower.""In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI.""The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement.""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.""The principal problem is the pricing. They're expensive products.""I think better visualization would be helpful to this solution."

More Alteryx Cons →

"The pricing of the solution is an issue...In SageMaker, monitoring could be improved by supporting more data types other than JSON and CSV.""The documentation must be made clearer and more user-friendly.""Creating notebook instances for multiple users is pretty expensive in Amazon SageMaker.""The payment and monitoring metrics are a bit confusing not only for Amazon SageMaker but also for the range of other products that fall under AWS, especially for a new user of the product.""AI is a new area and AWS needs to have an internship training program available.""In general, improvements are needed on the performance side of the product's graphical user interface-related area since it consumes a lot of time for a user.""I would suggest that Amazon SageMaker provide free slots to allow customers to practice, such as a free slot to try out working with a Sandbox.""The solution requires a lot of data to train the model."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
  • "​Very transparent.​"
  • "The seat is too expensive."
  • "It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."
  • "The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
  • "We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
  • "There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else."
  • "The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."
  • More Alteryx Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is complicated as it is based on what kind of machines you are using, the type of storage, and the kind of computation."
  • "The support costs are 10% of the Amazon fees and it comes by default."
  • "SageMaker is worth the money for our use case."
  • "Databricks solution is less costly than Amazon SageMaker."
  • "I would rate the solution's price a ten out of ten since it is very high."
  • "There is no license required for the solution since you can use it on demand."
  • "I rate the pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price, and ten is the highest price. The solution is priced reasonably. There is no additional cost to be paid in excess of the standard licensing fees."
  • "You don't pay for Sagemaker. You only pay for the compute instances in your storage."
