Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is the intelligence suite.""The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great.""The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its unlimited handling capabilities.""The connectors are a very good feature.""Shortens the time required to start analyzing data and looking for insights, minimizing the tasks that do not add value to the business and maximizing the analysis phase.""All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable.""I believe that the ability to leverage the gallery for scalability, as well as the general data blending functionality, is most beneficial to our core-based users.""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."

"The tool makes our ML model development a bit more efficient because everything is in one environment.""We were able to use the product to automate processes.""The product aggregates everything we need to build and deploy machine learning models in one place.""I have contacted the solution's technical support, and they were really good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.""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 most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker is its integration. For example, AWS Lambda. Additionally, we can write Python code.""Allows you to create API endpoints.""The deployment is very good, where you only need to press a few buttons."

Cons
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality.""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.""Alteryx can improve in data science. They have to have more features and components in the data science aspect because they claim to be a data science tool. However, in order to be more competitive, they have to improve on their data science propositions. Thre are other solutions on the market, such as other players in the market, Data2Go or DataIQ, and Alteryx needs to catch up.""We can't browse multiple files. When we deploy a solution on a gallery, let's say I have ten different files, and I have to upload them all at once. This is something that's difficult in the gallery. So case by case, I see some downsides, but often we do something alternative.""The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability.""More statistics tools: We can use to compare SPSS statistics with some automated advisory.""The GUI interface functions but it could stand to be updated to a more modern look and feel."

More Alteryx Cons →

"AI is a new area and AWS needs to have an internship training program available.""There are other better solutions for large data, such as Databricks.""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.""The solution needs to be cheaper since it now charges per document for extraction.""The training modules could be enhanced. We had to take in-person training to fully understand SageMaker, and while the trainers were great, I think more comprehensive online modules would be helpful.""The solution is complex to use.""I would say the IDE is quite immature, but it is still in its infancy, so I expect it to get better over time.""In my opinion, one improvement for Amazon SageMaker would be to offer serverless GPUs. Currently, we incur costs on an hourly basis. It would be beneficial if the tool could provide pay-as-you-go pricing based on endpoints."

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."
