We performed a comparison between Alteryx and Tableau based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Predictive Analytics solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its performance. It is a powerful solution."
"Alteryx has helped us spend more time identifying results instead of performing analysis manually. It has helped us in our loading process, including scrubbing data and identifying data elements that need to be corrected. It enables us to understand our data sets a lot better."
"The tools are built-in. You just plug and play, drag and drop, once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"The analytics are easy."
"The drag-and-drop features are useful for data scientists who do not like to code because it is already in the system."
"The Alteryx designer has been the most useful feature in the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The best part about Tableau is the visualization."
"One of the most valuable features is that the solution allows users to build interactive dashboards. This allows the end user to modify the criteria or the filtering if need be. As far as for my personal use as a QA Engineer, I really value how extensive their API document support has been."
"The most valuable feature is the aggregation function."
"The most important feature is the tool is very easy to use. This makes it simple to introduce it to CxOs. After a rapid demo, they are usual impressed by the results shown, because it has such a rare simplicity."
"Tableau is good for routine dashboards, and it has integration with Slack, through which it can send you daily updates."
"Tableau is easy to use."
"It is easy to use, and it can handle a large amount of data."
"It provides supporting data for critical policy and operational changes"
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"They can provide some pre-built tools for predictive analytics instead of us having to build all the tools. It should also be improved from the visualization aspect. It should have better visualization capabilities. There are tools out there that have better visualization capabilities, which Alteryx is lacking currently."
"I think sometimes the solution doesn't load properly or takes so much time for the workflows. Though the workflow runs and completes the file in Excel, if you use the same formula, it's a bit slow. Also, the image processing is not so good because I tried to do some image processing and they were like, sometimes they put two to eight. In the document, it was two, but the OCR predicted it as eight."
"They should work on its pricing."
"It is a little bit pricey."
"The workflow and pipeline need to improve."
"There's a big jump in terms of pricing between license tiers. I'm not sure I understand why the price jumps are so high."
"Deep learning models are not currently supported."
"The customization requires a lot of effort and should be simplified. The performance could be better."
"Tableau has so many functions, so sometimes it's hard to find the right solution quickly. I have to search multiple menu bars to find the right command."
"An area needing improvement involves the complexity of the product should you need to alter a lot of parameters. If you have technical servers, much interface, different providers and more serious processes, that will be time consuming."
"They need to improve the bar chart position and width."
"The performance could be better."
"An advanced type of visualization is a bit tricky to create. It has something called a Calculated field, and that sometimes gets a bit difficult to use when you want to create an advanced type of visualization."
"In the next release, there should be more information describing each chart because users have a difficult time telling them apart. They should also include the animations/videos, similar to Power BI."
"They need to improve the icons and the filters, because they look too old, resembling Excel from 1997."
