We performed a comparison between Alteryx and SAS Visual Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, RapidMiner, SAP and others in Predictive Analytics."Its initial setup is easy."
"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"This is a drag-and-drop tool which is easy-to-use and yet can be customized by creating your own components."
"Data processing is most valuable. It is one of the fastest data blockers out there in the market, which is a fascinating thing about Alteryx."
"Alteryx's connectivity is essential. We like the ability to connect the solution to multiple sources. It's easier than other data modeling and extraction solutions. It's built on a self-service concept, so it's easy for anyone to open the tool and directly import or export data from it."
"It's super easy to learn how to use it — the learning curve is very small."
"It is one of the most complete and great customer service that I experienced with a software company/ecosystem."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"The most solution's notable aspect, in my view, is the ability to integrate various data sources and harness advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. This helps with quality assurance processes."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"Visual Analytics is very easy to use. I use Visual Analytics for all the typical use cases except text mining. I used it to analyze data and monitor statistics, not text mining. I also use it for data visualization as well as creating interactive dashboards and infographics."
"What I really love about the software is that I have never struggled in implementing it for complex business requirements. It is good for highly sophisticated and specialized statistics in the areas that some people tend to call artificial intelligence. It is used for everything that involves visual presentation and analysis of highly sophisticated statistics for forecasting and other purposes."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"They should work on its pricing."
"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"There have been some issues with licensing, particularly with the increased prices. This has led some companies, including ours, to consider reducing the number of licenses or potentially discontinuing their use of Alteryx."
"Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."
"It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx."
"It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."
"The solution just lacks in terms of data visualization. That is why we use Tableau and Qlik in our organization. They help to pick up the slack. If data visualization was added, Alteryx would be a very good tool, and much more complete."
"There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"A bit more flexibility in the temperatization will be helpful."
"The solution should improve its graphics."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"The charts and tables could use better sorting, primarily using other variables than the ones on the figure. If they could implement views like in the older version (previous to Viya), it would be very nice."
"Colours used on report objects"
"I haven't come across any missing features."
