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."Good data transformation."
"Alteryx helps me do a lot of automation. The best thing about Alteryx is that you don't have to repeat the workflow over and over again. Unlike Excel, where you need to write formulas for each new file, Alteryx follows a consistent process. You can schedule and automate the workflow, even if the files change."
"It is one of the most complete and great customer service that I experienced with a software company/ecosystem."
"The GUI is simple and it integrates with Python."
"Alteryx has made us more agile and increased the speed and effectiveness of decision making."
"The solution has a very strong community that is involved in the product. It helps make the usage easier and helps us find answers to our questions."
"It's super easy to learn how to use it — the learning curve is very small."
"The product's Macros probably are one of the most useful aspects."
"It stands out for its ability to work across different platforms, support mainframe data, offer cloud integration, automate report scheduling, and provide a robust scripting language."
"The most valuable feature is building ad hoc reports."
"The solution can read and write 500 different types of outputs."
"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. It's highly scalable and can handle significant data volumes."
"In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI."
"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."
"Configuration is very low."
"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."
"We can't browse multiple files. When we deploy a solution on a gallery, let's say I have ten different files, and I have to upload them all at once. This is something that's difficult in the gallery. So case by case, I see some downsides, but often we do something alternative."
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality."
"It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"The challenge lies not in what the tool can do but in how you use it and understand the data."
"When it comes to customer support, we don't always reach the right person. Sometimes, we get junior-level reps who aren't as knowledgeable as we are."
"The solution can be improved by adding more automated options for reporting."
"If there were to be any improvements right now, their documentation needs to get in sync with their product."
