We performed a comparison between Alteryx and SAP Analytics Cloud 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."The drag-and-drop features are useful for data scientists who do not like to code because it is already in the system."
"Predictive models, which are easy to use, and help a lot with fast design and deployment."
"I believe that the ability to leverage the gallery for scalability, as well as the general data blending functionality, is most beneficial to our core-based users."
"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"The data transformation feature is the most valuable. The ability to ingest data, visualize data, and transform that data is useful."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is the intelligence suite."
"Alteryx is so advanced. It's just drag and drop."
"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"The stories have really been helpful in looking at specific scenarios and analyzing trends over periods of time."
"The most useful feature of SAP Analytics Cloud is planning because it helps users with making predictions and forecasts. Clients can forecast, make data allocations, and other actions. The solution is useful for planning."
"Technical support is helpful."
"It's so user-friendly."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is very easy to use, and you don't require much technology. It has a very good library and analytics. It is easy to configure and offers good visualization."
"Its user-friendliness is valuable. It is a product for end-users and not for IT, which is an advantage."
"There is a seamless integration with SAP S4HANA which is really valuable to our organization and its functions. Since the data is stored in the same ecosystem, it creates a simple process of building dashboards, without making the process cumbersome The Analytics Cloud provides standardized templates and storage options, making it easy to plug into existing structures. We're utilizing custom stories that have already been developed, streamlining the development process. It serves as a convenient starting point and contributes to the overall ease of development. Another advantage is that it doesn't provide the same level of calculation power as Power BI and Tableau. SAP Analytics Cloud emphasizes pushing analytics back into the database, recommending data manipulation and preparation outside of the platform. This approach is seen as an advantage, as it allows for more robust data handling."
"It's easy to connect Analytics Cloud with other SAP solutions, and it's also effortless to deploy. You don't need much technical skill to set it up. It's as easy as setting up a tablet. I said tablet before. It's very easy to actually set up."
"There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search."
"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"All of the reports are migrated or exported in an Excel file, and most of the time, a business intelligence tool is required. They could have better reporting. The aesthetic could be improved."
"A colleague of mind mentioned that the solution should have more options for the visualization of data."
"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 formula we currently use in Alteryx can be automated."
"When a process completes there is a notification, but the notification does not include the process's name."
"I think better visualization would be helpful to this solution."
"They need more support for more languages, Python for example."
"The scope is limited to a few accounts."
"I am not happy with the predictive analytics features and smart features offered by the product, making them areas where improvements are required."
"The security, authorization, and live connection to the back-office system features can be improved. A business analyst colleague who creates complex financial management reports has mentioned that he wants to see more fact and visualization features. It would be helpful to have more visualization features to be able to prepare more stories or reports for executives. For example, Tableau has some visualization features that are not present in this solution."
"Sometimes there are speed issues with big deletion data."
"An area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud is its planning feature because it's not that efficient when compared to BPC. Another area for improvement in the solution is the difficulty in building reports or dashboards, particularly if you don't have proper knowledge of the BI system. SAP Analytics Cloud technical support also needs improvement."
"Could have more tabular reporting capabilities."
"The connection works only for importing data. Currently, there is no real-time integration between SAP Analytics Cloud and CRM. There are some features present in the classic but not in the optimized version. If I need to create something specific, I often have to switch the versions. It would be more convenient to have a single product that incorporates all the necessary features."
