Alteryx makes it much easier to go through the data, summarize it, and use different tools for analysis."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"I have been using Alteryx Designer only for data modeling and data structuring."
"The most valuable features are the integrated properties and integrated connectivity."
"Alteryx Designer's best features are that it's easy to use and performs well."
"For my daily analytics needs, the entire Alteryx Designer platform is beneficial."
"It helps them to create customized workflows, transform data, perform calculations, and consolidate multiple data sources into a target database."
"The solution is easy to integrate and user-friendly."
"The features I find most valuable is the synchronization, verification, functionalities and all the data integration features."
"The most valuable features of Informatica Cloud Data Integration for our clients are the AI capabilities within Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is stable."
"I do a quite a lot of data transformations, and the fact that I can do them without changing any of my SQL queries from the code, using the inbuilt tools, is very helpful."
"The product improves data quality."
"The solution is straightforward."
"Informatica is good for integrating data and cloud applications. We have connectors for integrating cloud applications like Salesforce. You can quickly integrate anything with an exposed API or a REST API. The industry is increasingly shifting to the cloud, so we need more products that can connect to cloud-based applications. The integration is seamless and works in real time. It's also secure because you don't need to expose databases or tables."
"The support is very good."
"The only thing is sometimes it can be a bit slow."
"The product could offer more connectors and more databases with support for the in-database function."
"Alteryx needs to improve its web governance. The gallery you use to filter the data is something else that could use some work. For instance, if you have a report connected to a database and want to filter a specific user, you should be able to suggest a specific region or a particular year. I know that the Alteryx isn't designed for data governance, but that would be great to think about."
"Alteryx could move faster to create a cloud equivalent of the desktop version of Designer."
"Alteryx's data science and machine learning capabilities are where it loses out to DataIQ."
"Alteryx Designer's cost should be improved."
"Optimizing processing times is one area I would like to see improved in Alteryx Designer. Sometimes, the workflows take an extremely long time to run. There are days when I have had to wait two to three hours for a single process to complete. There needs to be a functionality to split the processes."
"I would like to be able to include small snippets of code inside of the solution. The tool has only drag-and-drop features to make it easy to use, but sometimes I feel like this makes it more complicated."
"Certain shortcomings in the product's UI make it an area where improvements are required."
"There are a small number of UI bugs that occur on occasion."
"There may be some types of limitations with the performance."
"Error reporting and debugging need improvement."
"I have received feedback from certain teams and there is a steep learning curve to use this solution."
"It needs to be a little more intuitive but it’s really not bad."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration could improve the price by making it less expensive."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration can improve by being more user-friendly. When you're working with the solution a lot of technical knowledge is required. It's not a solution that anyone can use properly, you need knowledge of what's happening at the back end, such as SQL. When you get stuck, you need to look into your logic. For other tools, such as Dell Boomi, anyone can use them."
