We performed a comparison between Alteryx and Salesforce Einstein Analytics 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.
"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 modeling features are very good."
"I think the most valuable feature for Alteryx in a health facility is that it permits cleaning, organizing, and merging of databases such as Excel and Access."
"It is one of the most complete and great customer service that I experienced with a software company/ecosystem."
"The philosophy of the citizen data scientist is the key piece, which means the no-code analytics capability. This is the feature that attracted us the most."
"The support is very good."
"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."
"Technical support is very helpful."
"The solution scales extremely well."
"Transparency is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"We have found the scalability to be very good."
"The way Salesforce Einstein Analytics is structured in terms of the work assignments and the user profile is very good."
"Tableau CRM is a very capable solution. It is easy to use, user-friendly, and integrates well."
"It's scalable."
"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."
"It is a comprehensive solution. It has everything in it. I can easily find what I need."
"What they're struggling with is it's not as mature as Tableau in the user management area. It was tougher to manage the server part of it right away, especially since the user base has grown."
"There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search."
"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."
"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"The principal problem is the pricing. They're expensive products."
"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability."
"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."
"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."
"Better pricing would make it available to more users and we would likely use it more broadly within the organization."
"They have a lot of opportunity to improve BI tools. With Einstein Analytics, we have a very minimal scope."
"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."
"There are some offerings like Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud that have very useful online learning options. There need to be more avenues for self-learning with this particular solution. That would be useful."
"If a user leaves your organization, you shouldn't lose the visibility of all of the records."
"They can provide more end-user customizations. There should be the possibility for the end-users to change some elements in the interface. I have a way of doing my job. My colleague may have his own way of doing his job. If I ask for a change, it'll change for everyone. It'll be good to have some end-user personalizations. I can't see many in Salesforce right now."
"I would advise others not to customize because they rolled out the newer versions, which are every six months. There had to be some significant testing and verification that happened. It is important to have a strong third-party provider that is very experienced. We used Deloitte, but we evaluated Accenture, KPMG, and IBM, but we decided on Deloitte and that was a good decision for us. Having a partner who has a center of excellence or experts that could give you a lot of the tips that they've learned could jumpstart your deployment and stick to the standards."
