Theresa McLaughlin - PeerSpot reviewer
Quick development enables seamless data processing despite occasional support issues
There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason. The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system. Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage. For instance, our licenses were temporarily lost during negotiations when an agreement couldn't be reached.

Drag-and-drop functionality makes the interface easy to use, but the technical support needs to be improved
There are not many people deploying models using this solution, which is a problem. I have done some cross-development and have found that when I am building models with the open-source software, the accuracy is better. For categorical data, the models built by SAS Emailer are very complex compared to those built by the open-source version. Technical support could be improved because they take too long to answer our queries. Models that are created are a block box, and you can't see the details.

Provides versatility in analysis and problem-solving
I use TIBCO Statistica for quality control, creating profile control charts, and employing basic statistical tools in production. Some clients prefer advanced options like neural networks and decision trees for more in-depth analysis. TIBCO Statistica helps us meet a range of statistical needs for…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This is a drag-and-drop tool which is easy-to-use and yet can be customized by creating your own components."
"The modeling features are very good."
"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."
"I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use."
"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"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 is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"The most valuable features are forecasting and reporting."
"The most valuable feature is its flexibility and the ability to integrate with SAS."
"One of the best features of TIBCO Statistica is its block-based solution building."
 

Cons

"It should have Linux support. It currently supports only Windows. It does not support any other platform. Its price should also be lower. Their US partner management program is actually unresponsive. One of the reasons why we don't have a formalized partnership plan with them is because their partner management team is atrociously unresponsive. This is something that they need to change."
"The formula we currently use in Alteryx can be automated."
"The product could benefit from improved integration with visualization tools or even the inclusion of built-in visualization features."
"The workflow and pipeline need to improve."
"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"The gallery could improve in Alteryx. Additionally, if there was a Conditional Join feature it would be beneficial. Since I do not have this feature I have to use Python scripts."
"The principal problem is the pricing. They're expensive products."
"It is a little bit pricey."
"Technical support could be improved because they take too long to answer our queries."
"I think that this solution should be more compatible with other software, including open-source solutions."
"TIBCO Statistica could improve by expanding its neural network capabilities to support multi-layer networks, addressing user demands for advanced tasks like image analysis."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"We use the free version of the solution. There are enterprise licenses available. It cost approximately $5,000 annually. It is an expensive solution and there are additional features that cost more money."
"The seat is too expensive."
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"It is $4,000 a year, so it is cheap versus other solutions. It also accomplishes three times the volume on the job in the same time (as the other solutions).​"
"​Very transparent.​"
"It's probably on the pricey side, but they provide some really useful ways to grow and test."
"If SAS were more flexible in terms of licensing then that would be good, because it costs more than other solutions."
