We performed a comparison between Alteryx and MicroStrategy 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 scheduling within the solution is excellent."
"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 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."
"Geo features have made spatial mapping large retail universes possible."
"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."
"The drag-and-drop features are useful for data scientists who do not like to code because it is already in the system."
"I find MicroStrategy the most suited to the enterprise-wide BI platform, because of its scalability and stability."
"It is easy to use and visually very appealing. One thing that sets it apart is that it has got a great ETL tool. As compared to some of the other solutions, it is much easier to process data from other applications in MicroStrategy. That's why we prefer using it."
"It is always nice to have one solution in a single platform. You can do pretty much everything, instead of having to get a little bit here or a little bit there."
"The most valuable features of MicroStrategy are user-friendliness and integration with the different data warehouse systems."
"I haven't come across any bugs."
"It is very stable."
"It has had a direct impact on bottomline improvements."
"We leverage it, not only for reporting but for analytics and also for geospatial reporting."
"The solution can be made more affordable."
"A colleague of mind mentioned that the solution should have more options for the visualization of data."
"The formula we currently use in Alteryx can be automated."
"It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."
"They should work on its pricing."
"The solution could work on the BI side of the tool to make it a bit better."
"We can't browse multiple files. When we deploy a solution on a gallery, let's say I have ten different files, and I have to upload them all at once. This is something that's difficult in the gallery. So case by case, I see some downsides, but often we do something alternative."
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"It crashes multiple times for even small changes that I make on the fly in the dashboard. After doing all the necessary changes, the MicroStrategy desktop or even the web version kicks the users out, and all the changes are lost. This functionality is buggy in MicroStrategy. It is hard to keep track of all the changes that I have done before. I don't want to make copies of each change that I have made because I would end up creating a hundred dashboards. It is not feasible in a real environment. I haven't worked on integrating MicroStrategy with the cloud. I am not sure how it behaves in the cloud, but I have heard from a few of my friends that there are some hiccups when you kind of sync to the cloud through MicroStrategy."
"Native VI on mobile apps and better android support are lacking."
"We would like access to more storage and access to more metadata to build the right programs that can construct all the stuff for us instead of us having to type it in all the time."
"We had some problems with customer service and support."
"Enterprise Manager should be a little bit less quirky when you build out-of-the-box customization reports for it."
"The web developer tool for documents creation does not have all the features of the client version"
"You can now do data blending at the document level and data blending allows you to show results from different data sets in one grid, so to speak. I want to be able to create a data set that can receive data from multiple cubes, have it in one data set, and then bring it to the document, because then I can reuse it for other documents. Now, I have to do it in a document and then it's less reusable, because if I want to share that functionality, I have to copy the document, strip a lot of things, and then work on that basic element that I've built in that document."
"The analytic speed would probably be what I would look for in terms of improvement because we have super huge data, and if I do not build views on top of data, then reports render really slowly."
