We performed a comparison between Alteryx and Microsoft Power BI 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."Automation is the most valuable aspect for us. The ability to wrap business logic around the data is very helpful."
"It allows for manipulation and automation, which has greatly reduced the amount of time required per project."
"Good data transformation."
"I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."
"The most valuable feature is user-friendliness, as Alteryx can be used by those without any coding experience or experienced data scientists as it has the functionality to embed R and Python scripts."
"This is a drag-and-drop tool which is easy-to-use and yet can be customized by creating your own components."
"The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily."
"Shortens the time required to start analyzing data and looking for insights, minimizing the tasks that do not add value to the business and maximizing the analysis phase."
"Provides good data flow related to the container and control flow."
"The advantages of Microsoft Power BI stem from the fact that it is really easy to use. The drag and drop facilities provided by the product are good."
"The initial setup is easy."
"There is also a chart store where we can download charts, which is extremely useful."
"Its connectivity with other Office applications, mostly with Excel, and the ability to deploy it very easily are the most valuable features. It comes sort of bundled with the cloud, so you don't need to set up a server and a standalone infrastructure. So, getting into the system or building something that you can deploy is very easy and very cheap. With other systems, you need to have a server, and you need to have a license for the server. The initial setup is very costly."
"The solution is easy to use and charts can be built quickly with the tools."
"The most valuable features are the easy creation of reports, dashboards, and the ability to perform analysis. It is important for us to create reports because we have some operations during certain hours and we can use this tool to track the information."
"The tool is very flexible so it allows creativity."
"A colleague of mind mentioned that the solution should have more options for the visualization of data."
"The technical support could have a little bit of improvement."
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients."
"There are a few hiccups with specific data sets and languages or formats that the data comes in. That may be a minor problem, but we can work through it. We had some issues looking at XML format in added data, but it wasn't significant."
"The learning curve is long, and there is lack of e-learning; the tool is not user-friendly to a non-technical user."
"The solution could improve in the visualization."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"This solution's performance when handling big data could be improved. Right now, if you're handling big data, the application becomes slow and the performance is very low."
"The solution could improve by simplifying the user interface and adding integration or compatibility with APA."
"Integrating it with the physics build model or the engineering model should be included."
"Microsoft BI lacks integration capabilities, so it needs to consider increasing its integration capabilities."
"I would like for there to be some type of user manual that shows steps on how to navigate the solution."
"At times, I feel that the system needs improvement in single sign-on, especially for the on-premises side of the tool."
"Sometimes while developing, the front end is not easily customizable and it has limitations. We cannot go and do any UI we want. We have to stick to the limitations of the product."
"The solution could be quicker at rendering data."
