Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."Alteryx is a low-code platform, and that's the biggest reason why we chose it."
"The drag-and-drop features are useful for data scientists who do not like to code because it is already in the system."
"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 solution has been stable."
"The Alteryx designer has been the most useful feature in the solution."
"The GUI is simple and it integrates with Python."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"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."
"We have noticed improvements in performance using Starburst Enterprise. It handles complex data, including reading and partitioning files. We can add a new catalog to Starburst Enterprise by providing connection details and service account information. This allows us to integrate with existing tools, such as the Snowflake database, which we use for data protection in our project."
"The only weakness I would say is on the visualization side of having that dynamic incapability."
"All of the reports are migrated or exported in an Excel file, and most of the time, a business intelligence tool is required. They could have better reporting. The aesthetic could be improved."
"There have been some issues with licensing, particularly with the increased prices. This has led some companies, including ours, to consider reducing the number of licenses or potentially discontinuing their use of Alteryx."
"The formula we currently use in Alteryx can be automated."
"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."
"The solution could improve in the visualization."
"The scalability worries me a lot at the moment because the cost of the solution is high and it is not growing considerably. Unfortunately, we started during early COVID times and because of the economic downturn, all the cost cuttings, and everything, it is not growing as expected."
"Starburst Enterprise could improve by offering additional features similar to those provided by other SQL query tools. For example, incorporating functionalities like pivot tables would make it more feasible to use."
