Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, RapidMiner, SAP and others in Predictive Analytics."The Alteryx designer has been the most useful feature in the solution."
"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 connectors are a very good feature."
"This is a drag-and-drop tool which is easy-to-use and yet can be customized by creating your own components."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily."
"The three data signs and data engineering are great features."
"It's easy to drill down or expand data to get more details right out of the box."
"I would say the return on investment is good. Whatever we invested, we got results. We have been finding it easy to use and onboard new use cases."
"I like ThoughtSpot's search capabilities. You can also create custom analytics even if you aren't an experienced data analyst. We have users with no data analytics experience making some of the dashboards we've created, copying components, and customizing them to their specific use cases."
"The scalability is good."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"ThoughtSpot takes the modifying of existing reports out of our hands."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"The ability to do ad hoc explorations of data has been most valuable."
"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."
"There are no ready models to use in analytics."
"The solution can be made more affordable."
"Configuration is very low."
"The server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."
"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."
"Alteryx is just as complicated as coding, in my opinion."
"It is a little bit pricey."
"The dashboards could give you more ability to fine tune the appearance. You get a great deal more control over how something looks in Power BI than you do in ThoughtSpot."
"I would like to see more flexibility in adding the pins. Currently, we have four different sizes in which I can add pins, but I would like to be able to resize my pins."
"ThoughtSpot is a fairly new product, so some usability aspects aren't as mature as we'd like them to be. One example is their organizational methodology, like how objects are organized in their dashboards inside the product. They're all on a flat list, which works if you've got five or 10 dashboards. However, it's insufficient when you're a large enterprise with multiple groups looking at the same dashboards. It isn't organized well."
"If I want to order columns, this feature is not there."
"The most difficult thing I found is that it only deals with the files and does not have direct connectivity to databases."
"A customized visualization is lacking in this product."
"The one area of the solution that I do hear needs improvement is on the visualization front."
"In terms of features, I'd like to be able to pivot data - for example, going from rows to columns. It's not easy to do."
