We performed a comparison between Alteryx and Anaplan 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."I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is the intelligence suite."
"The scheduling feature for the automation is excellent."
"It is one of the most complete and great customer service that I experienced with a software company/ecosystem."
"The product's Macros probably are one of the most useful aspects."
"Alteryx has a good UI. We use it frequently in our projects. The tool comes with drag-and-drop features and is easy to understand for business needs. One situation where Alteryx's advanced analytics capabilities were particularly beneficial for us was during a forecasting project. Unlike Python, which requires coding, Alteryx simplifies the process significantly. With Alteryx, users can adjust parameters within the user interface without writing any code."
"It allows for manipulation and automation, which has greatly reduced the amount of time required per project."
"It is efficient in optimizing our ability to get information."
"Anaplan provides 130 GB of cloud storage for organizations to use as part of their license."
"You don't need to have a programming language to use Anaplan."
"I am impressed with the tool’s real-time calculations and intuitive interface. The tool’s user interface is the best compared to other software that I have worked with. I also find the tool’s management reporting feature valuable."
"The solution works very well for budgeting."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"The best thing is that it's very intuitive and user-friendly. You don't need coding skills to manipulate the platform."
"This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."
"It's highly flexible. If you've got a complex environment with complex calculations, you can build that out. So that's a really good positive."
"The solution could work on the BI side of the tool to make it a bit better."
"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."
"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"The next feature release should include easier reporting."
"I think sometimes the solution doesn't load properly or takes so much time for the workflows. Though the workflow runs and completes the file in Excel, if you use the same formula, it's a bit slow. Also, the image processing is not so good because I tried to do some image processing and they were like, sometimes they put two to eight. In the document, it was two, but the OCR predicted it as eight."
"Alteryx can improve the model management and deployment processing of large workloads."
"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."
"In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI."
"It would be nice if the solution offered better extensions."
"Anaplan could be improved with a stronger consolidation module."
"One area of improvement is conditional formatting. It's not very practical, and you need to specify additional formatting."
"The integration technique should be a little bit easier."
"The tool needs to work on its integration with MS Excel and MS Word. The tool does not allow data analysis in spreadsheets which is possible on other platforms. I want the solution to be more collaborative to facilitate decision-making in organizations."
"When there is a lot of data, it sometimes takes long to load."
"The cloud engine slows down when working with a large dataset. It still lacks a powerful engine."
"The visualization tools in the product are limited in comparison to other reporting tools."
