Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The modeling features are very good.""Alteryx is so advanced. It's just drag and drop.""The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its stand-alone version that we do not have to download dependencies for loads. Additionally, the scan is useful for beginners.""One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow.""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.""I like the fact that you can easily blend data from different platforms.""I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place.""It is a stable and scalable solution."

"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 most valuable feature of Amazon SageMaker is its integration. For example, AWS Lambda. Additionally, we can write Python code.""The superb thing that SageMaker brings is that it wraps everything well. It's got the deployment, the whole framework.""The product aggregates everything we need to build and deploy machine learning models in one place.""Allows you to create API endpoints.""The few projects we have done have been promising.""The solution's ability to improve work at my organization stems from the ensemble model and a combination of various models it provides."

Cons
"The principal problem is the pricing. They're expensive products.""When a process completes there is a notification, but the notification does not include the process's name.""Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud.""The gallery could improve in Alteryx. Additionally, if there was a Conditional Join feature it would be beneficial. Since I do not have this feature I have to use Python scripts.""The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement.""We are hoping that the NLP features will also support Chinese characters.""The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well.""It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."

More Alteryx Cons →

"I would say the IDE is quite immature, but it is still in its infancy, so I expect it to get better over time.""The product must provide better documentation.""There are other better solutions for large data, such as Databricks.""The solution is complex to use.""The pricing of the solution is an issue...In SageMaker, monitoring could be improved by supporting more data types other than JSON and CSV.""Lacking in some machine learning pipelines.""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.""SageMaker would be improved with the addition of reporting services."

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."
