We performed a comparison between Alteryx and Salesforce Einstein Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, RapidMiner, SAP and others in Predictive Analytics."My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"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."
"Alteryx effectively visualizes the flow of data and what happens at each stage. I also like that it's a no-code solution. I also like that you can troubleshoot certain parts of the workflow by putting them in a sandbox."
"You get more support with Alteryx, and it's good for non-sophisticated users who can benefit from the support included in the price."
"Alteryx has a good UI. We use it frequently in our projects. The tool comes with drag-and-drop features and is easy to understand for business needs. One situation where Alteryx's advanced analytics capabilities were particularly beneficial for us was during a forecasting project. Unlike Python, which requires coding, Alteryx simplifies the process significantly. With Alteryx, users can adjust parameters within the user interface without writing any code."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"The support is very good."
"Einstein Analytics provides insights into what we are doing and how we are doing it. It tells us what benchmarks we need to hit consistently to achieve our goals. In sales, there is sometimes a disconnect between actions and objectives. We aren't necessarily going to close a deal because we call X number of people. There are some underlying skills that add nuance to these metrics."
"The out-of-the-box features are good for companies that want to try analytics and data science interventions."
"Transparency is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Einstein Analytics are the flexibility around the deployment, overall capabilities, user-friendliness, and interactiveness with the tools that came built with it."
"The tool is a cloud-based solution capable of integrating any kind of data in the world."
"The way Salesforce Einstein Analytics is structured in terms of the work assignments and the user profile is very good."
"The solution scales extremely well."
"The fact that the solution is visually appealing because of its lightning interfaces can be considered one of its most valuable features"
"Alteryx can improve in data science. They have to have more features and components in the data science aspect because they claim to be a data science tool. However, in order to be more competitive, they have to improve on their data science propositions. Thre are other solutions on the market, such as other players in the market, Data2Go or DataIQ, and Alteryx needs to catch up."
"It's a technical product and those that don't have proper training will have to deal with a steep learning curve."
"I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved."
"The server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."
"It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."
"The GUI interface functions but it could stand to be updated to a more modern look and feel."
"I think they should really work on integrating or have a capacity to integrate some algorithmic code. I think that's one of the most important things they need to be doing."
"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"The product is expensive."
"All of the timesheets and appraisal management I have not been happy with. There should be some improvements. For example, as a management team, our managers do not have access to see a summary report, such as who is on leave today or how many hours each person logged in. You have to get into individual users and see. You cannot see a summary report, the reporting is missing. There should improve the reports."
"If a user leaves your organization, you shouldn't lose the visibility of all of the records."
"If I could improve Tableau CRM I would make it as powerful as Tableau. Tableau CRM is more integrated and it's on the web, but it has less functionality. It is lacking functionality at this time."
"The product is natively integrated into the Salesforce ecosystem. You also need a CRM license. It should be more flexible with other platforms."
"The product must be more transparent."
"Improvement-wise, I feel the solution must be more robust since it is not exactly ready to handle large data."
"Better pricing would make it available to more users and we would likely use it more broadly within the organization."
