Has everything I need, but the community forum should be easy to use
There is a community for Alteryx, but it is so spread out. For example, if I face an issue with Informatica, I have Informatica forums that keep on adding to that. They have a very cohesive structure when it comes to the issues and their error messages. They are very easy to use for Informatica issues, but in the case of Alteryx, the information is too spread out, and it is difficult to find the answer to a particular issue that someone faces. If Alteryx can organize its forum and the issues in a better way, it will be easy for developers. 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. With Informatica, we can use hints and other things and they directly hit the database, but with Alteryx, that is not the case. So, when it comes to database connectivity, the performance is not as good as a flat file as a source.

Good ad hoc reporting, and is stable, but can use better automation for reporting
The solution is used primarily for analytics A lot of our employees are familiar with the solution. It is like a legacy solution for us. The most valuable feature is building ad hoc reports. The solution can be improved by adding more automated options for reporting. I would like to see more…

"It has everything that one needs. Whatever you want to do with the data can be done with Alteryx."
"I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use."

Cons

"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"They should work on its pricing."
"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"The learning curve is long, and there is lack of e-learning; the tool is not user-friendly to a non-technical user."
"I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved."
"The next feature release should include easier reporting."
"The server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."
"Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."
"The challenge lies not in what the tool can do but in how you use it and understand the data."
"If there were to be any improvements right now, their documentation needs to get in sync with their product."
"The solution can be improved by adding more automated options for reporting."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."
