In a time where data-driven decisions are crucial we needed a solution that could help our organization in the right direction. In the past we have made too many decisions based on gut feelings, but after the implementation of Alex Solutions we have been able to improve our decision making process. At the moment Alex Solution has been implemented in one of our divisions, but we're planning to roll our to more this year.
- Easy and fast data sharing across platforms
- Single platforms solution
- Able to handle cloud and on premise
Cons
- Alex Solutions has lots of features and you need to invest time to understand how to do best deal with the solution in your own business case
- Australian-based solution with no local support in Denmark. Not the biggest issue for us, but potentially is a place with room for improvement.
- Making it easier for users to adjust visuals and colours.
- Being able to make decisions based on data. In a world moving this fast we really need to make decisions and it's crucial to make the right ones. Therefore data-driven decisions are really important
- The data lineage is really a great tool and in my opinion a feature where Alex solution is outperforming its competitors
- Quick support from the Alex team is also a thing I would like to point out. From a management perspective it's one of these things that helps drive change with data in our organization
- It's always difficult to predict the future, but the feedback from our organization is clear. Data-driven decisions are better decisions for sure.
- No service or solution is free, but seen in the bigger picture the better decision making surely outweigh the costs of Alex Solutions
- Our organization has way more focus on data and ensuring correct data collection. This is probably the best impact we have had seen from a data manager's perspective
I have seen companies with Alex and Collibra, and if I should choose one of these tools based on my knowledge and feedback from the users, I would definitely choose Alex Solutions. From a user perspective Alex Solutions is easier to use - it really is just more intuitive and for most users that can make the difference between using and not using the solution.
