Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, SAP, Altair and others in Predictive Analytics.
Alteryx helps familiarize managers with artificial intelligence-driven possibilities.
I have seen a return on investment with IBM Planning Analytics, as we are able to forecast the budget for the entire year with significant time saving.
I contacted customer support once or twice, and they were quick to respond.
The customer service was not good because we weren't premium support users.
Customer support is good since I've had no issues and can easily contact representatives who respond promptly.
We have a multi-level support system, with the initial level handled by the company we bought the license from and subsequent support from IBM.
Instead, we rely on third-party partners recognized by IBM, who provide cost-effective support.
Customer support for IBM Planning Analytics is very unparalleled and available 24/7.
Alteryx is scalable, and I would give it eight out of ten.
Scalability is quite hard to implement in TM1, largely since the on-premise installation chosen back in 2014.
Scalability is straightforward but it is pricey since it's a SaaS model priced per user.
I didn't need to reach out to Alteryx for support because available documents usually provide enough information to resolve issues.
I have not encountered any lagging, crashing, or instability in the system during these three months of usage.
This stability is really important as we use it for budget calculation, which is time-consuming.
The tool could include more native connectors, such as for global ERPs, instead of requiring additional fees for these connections.
The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system.
The additional features that Alteryx needs to work on to make it more competitive include better collaboration and easier integration through API.
The abundance of features results in complexity, requiring strict guidelines for developers to ensure simplistic approaches are adhered to.
IBM's visualization needs significant improvement.
I would love to see improvements in IBM Planning Analytics regarding seamless integration with tools like Microsoft and Google Sheets, which would be very important.
Alteryx is more cost-effective compared to Informatica licenses, offering savings.
It has a fair price when considering a larger-scale implementation.
Alteryx is expensive.
TM1 is quite expensive, and I'd rate the pricing as an eight out of ten.
While IBM's solutions were costly before, the introduction of SaaS models has reduced prices significantly.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for IBM Planning Analytics has been okay, and the price is also relatively affordable.
Alteryx not only represents data but also supports decision-making by suggesting the next steps.
Analysts who do not have any coding experience can still work on the transformation and preparation of data, which is quite useful.
Alteryx is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter.
Its stability helps controllers win time in their planning processes.
It also integrates machine learning and AI engines, enabling us to use algorithms for inventory forecasting which optimizes our inventory and replenishment rates.
IBM Planning Analytics has positively impacted my organization by being really helpful, as the software has helped our finance team minimize the manual data entry by more than 80% and focus more on holistic data analysis and business strategies.
