TK Tanusha K. Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 7/23/2020 "Convenient and Efficient" 5/5 What do you like best about Alteryx Designer Cloud? A very convenient platform for data wrangling. I love the detailed features available to fine-tune the data, like "remove leading and trailing white spaces / quotation marks", "split columns on delimiters", data joining (inner & outer) etc. that are not usually available on regular spreadsheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alteryx Designer Cloud? Sometimes transferring data can be a little difficult. The split columns on multiple delimiters did not work too well sometimes. It's not very easy to understand the flows that are created while dealing with several datasets. While scrolling through the data, it can be a little tricky to get a good overview of the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Alteryx Designer Cloud: The simplest to use data wrangling software I have come across. Do not hesitate to go for this one, in any case there is no downside to trying it out. I found it to be much more convenient for manipulating data than traditional products like MS Excel and Google Spreadsheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Alteryx Designer Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you? I used Trifacta for school projects. It was quite easy to tweak a few complicated details of the data with this tool. The project was a regular data analytics project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RS Ruchira S. Product Manager Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 7/21/2020 "The most innovation-friendly data preparation software, helps derive meaning insights of dull data" 5/5 What do you like best about Alteryx Designer Cloud? Trifacta is a software used by data analysts, scientists & engineers like me. To be honest, I thoroughly enjoyed the process of data preparation while using this tool since it works smarter and faster as compared to other tools. Besides, the need for accurate and deep insights out of raw and messy datasets is something that can help the growth of the business. Using Trifacta makes the preparation of data efficient at the initial stage by obtaining deep insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alteryx Designer Cloud? Limitation to edit each cell. In Excel, editing each cell makes it easier, but in the case of Trifacta, there is a limitation to edit a cell individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Alteryx Designer Cloud: It's easy to use and the best data preparation tool out on the market. The integration with Google Cloud makes it even better. It's a time saver and automates your data cleaning with simple SQL commands Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Alteryx Designer Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you? Trifacta automates most of the data preparation parts, whereas in Excel everything needs to be done manually including cleaning the dataset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

TG Tomas G. Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/20/2020 "Extremely useful for anyone that wants to periodically process data" 5/5 What do you like best about Alteryx Designer Cloud? How easy it is to create a data processing pipeline. The UI is very smart, although it sometimes freezes a little bit. The ability to see what each transformation would do to your data helps a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alteryx Designer Cloud? It's difficult to share any project with other accounts. It would also be ideal if there was a way to edit workflows you have exported. That way, one could export from one account, edit with a simple text editor the resulting JSON (or even make a script for that) and then import into another account. For us, that we work with several clients, each with a different account, it would make our lives easier. The whole "checksum validation" is a pain in the ... Also, the new price model for the future years will make the solution impossible to use for some companies (probably mine included) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Alteryx Designer Cloud: Check the new price model carefully Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Alteryx Designer Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you? Advertisement data processing. Done every night. After that, we fill our BigQuery tables, update our dashboards in Google Data Studio, and get valuable data from our client's digital marketing efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Trifacta is one of the best Data Preparation tool available & now it is implemented on cloud too." 4.5/5 What do you like best about Alteryx Designer Cloud? Numerous of features & functions available which can be used easily. We can easily import many type of files, and also export the prepared flows for Data Analysis or for other uses to other Google Platforms like BigQuery or Cloud Functions. Huge flows will run within few minutes. Fast response from the support team for every queries & also work hard for solving the issues soon. Provide regular updates once or twice a month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alteryx Designer Cloud? When it comes to cloud there are some limitations now such as some performance issues. But they are improving it day by day by adding more features. The exported flow format is unique for Trifacta so we cannot open with other similar tools or we cannot convert it to other format. There is some slowness experiencing in the User Interface of Cloud Trifacta. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Alteryx Designer Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you? I'm using it for my work. Creating & preparing the data for Analysis. Importing data from Buckets & BigQuery after preparing exporting it as .csv file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/14/2020 "Useful for non-tech and tech users, but can't automate it" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Alteryx Designer Cloud? We use this for transferring a medium amount of data daily from avro files. The transformation rules and macros are very powerful---this is a good way of importing data into BigQuery without having to write the transformations programmatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alteryx Designer Cloud? The UI is fine for setting up a few transformations and scheduling them, but it's tedious when you have to set up 10 or 50 of them. If I could script the setup I'd probably rate Trifacta a 10. As it is, it takes several minutes per table to click, click, click your way through the procedure. There are also a few minor UI shortcomings---e.g. you often end up with the wrong number of parameters in the last step of setting up an export, but it doesn't always tell you which ones they are, so you have to go all the way back and try again. Also, it would be great if it was compatible with more databases and flat-text formats. But it sounds like this is on the roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Alteryx Designer Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you? We looked at a few ways of setting up the nightly import of avro files; the nice part of Trifacta is that it doesn't need a programmer/data engineer to set it up. It's not trivial, but it's not hard, either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Time Saver and the Best Data Cleaning tool on the market" 5/5 What do you like best about Alteryx Designer Cloud? The integration with Google cloud makes it so easy to transfer files back and forth. The best part about the tool is its data visualization on top of each column that makes it easy to identify the parameters. The easy to use User Interface is also something I like the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alteryx Designer Cloud? Limitation to not use SQL queries and also the limitation to individually select a specific column and edit it like Excel. Lacking the Highlight duplicates feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Alteryx Designer Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you? I use Trifacta for data cleaning and it is an excellent time-saver. I previously did all my data cleaning using excel manually before this. Trifacta has reduced my turn around time by almost 2X. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can see a preview of the data cleaning and processing rules you setup You can schedule runs and output the data to different destinations, including BigQuery database Many pre-set rules to apply in one click Able to work with huge volumes of data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alteryx Designer Cloud? There is a limit of how many rows you can see in the sample, the limit is quite big but in some cases you are not able to view all special cases and can miss handling them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DK Dorota K. IT Business Intelligence Lead Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/10/2020 "Without DataPrep by Trifacta - I would be very frustrated!" 5/5 What do you like best about Alteryx Designer Cloud? Simple to start , logical to use.Easy to follow the logic of someone else's flows. Easy to correct and go back to the previous steps. Add/delete the wrong transformations. Easy to automate the data preparation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alteryx Designer Cloud? Performance sometimes but rare. It looks like when it was some release of the DataPrep on Google Cloud - there were some performance challenges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Alteryx Designer Cloud: it is really easy to use! It has a lot of functionality and functions. A lot of opportunity to do what you want with the data. It reads from the DB but also use csv files. You can schedule the updates. You can make it as a part of your automated ETL process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Alteryx Designer Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you? Making preparation and updates of my data much more easy. Once I create the logic in the flow - it takes minutes to refresh the data going forward. I can easily handover the logic to people that don't have the data mindset - they can follow the logic easily. Preparing the data for the BI solutions we are using in the company makes the process much easier and the fact that I can use this product as a part of Google Cloud Platform makes my job much easier. Coming enhancements that Trifacta has in mind will probably make the process even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SO Simon O. Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/15/2020 "Powerful but heavy and slow" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Alteryx Designer Cloud? All transformation possibilities. Scalable infrastructure. GCP integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alteryx Designer Cloud? Interface is too much heavy and very slow. UX bad design like the horizontal scroll that sometime slide the columns and sometime back to the previous windows : That's makes me totally crazy!! Slow system for small data set. Expensive for small data set manipulation. Documentation : is sometime hard to find appropriate solution or expected support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/10/2020 "Sr. Business Intelligence Analyst" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Alteryx Designer Cloud? Google Data Prep data has been extremely useful in terms of data cleansing and harmonizing the data with recipes. In the recipes we find it useful to analyze the data quickly and recognize errors in the data. Given we work with several different clients across several different industries that come to us with a host of data issues that we have to clean before we can get quality datasets into our database this tool has cut down a lot on that prep time. The feature that I find most useful is the unpivot feature, this tool has probably saved me 3.5 hours of work each week. This tool has also cut down on the SQL work and skill sets required to do the work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Alteryx Designer Cloud? There is incremental logic that i have not been able to get Google Data Prep to pick up on so that i can stream line the data process as much as i want and therefore have to do some level of prep outside with Tableau. Recently we have been working with US Facts data that adds a new date column for new COVID cases or deaths each day ( with date as a column header), and we were not able to use Google Data Prep to pick up on the logic and adjust the recipes to handle this type of file that has new column additions each day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Alteryx Designer Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you? We have been using Trifacta for COVID19 related analysis, forecasting related analysis, weather impact modeling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
