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."Predictive models, which are easy to use, and help a lot with fast design and deployment."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution has a very strong community that is involved in the product. It helps make the usage easier and helps us find answers to our questions."
"There are a lot of good customization capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data preparation."
"I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use."
"It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis."
"The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily."
"The most valuable features are the Visual Insights and the visualizations."
"I like that they're trying to incorporate Developer into Workstation and Desktop into Workstation, so you get the all-in-one encompassing, highly technical Developer Workstation where you can do the VI, you can do the Dossier."
"It's user-friendly, also the MTDI cube is a very good approach, as it helps you to use the pre-format instead of using the standard objects from the schema of MicroStrategy."
"In terms of functionality, MicroStrategy is alright. It's a solid BI tool and can handle most tasks you'd expect."
"We are using mobile analytics, and it is amazing."
"With the new version that's coming out, I think they have simplified a lot of things. Also, when it comes to the administration part, and sharing, and the collaboration features, they are really great. You can send out comments with a filter to someone in your organization, and if the person clicks on it, he actually sees what you are seeing. So that's really great."
"I have never had any problems with the stability."
"I haven't come across any bugs."
"A feature which allows the user to be able to click on an output (in a file browser) and see the creation of the module would be fantastic."
"The GUI interface functions but it could stand to be updated to a more modern look and feel."
"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."
"Sometimes, there are performance constraints. Especially when a large file has to be ingested, the system slows down a bit. Its performance is the only thing that can be improved."
"The only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"If there is any way to make the learning curve less steep, that would be ideal."
"There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search."
"The solution's licensing could be improved because its cost is heavy on the pockets."
"MicroStrategy lacks that community support. You're either stuck figuring things out yourself or paying expensive fees to MicroStrategy consultants for help."
"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 have seen some stability issues with MicroStrategy on cloud. We have a few unhappy customers."
"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."
"The pricing could be lower because it is costly."
"It would be good if it had greater analytics so we could build these visualizations by ourselves with scripts."
"Our data warehouse is sort of static; negative load and that is it. It is not as real-time as we would like. We are working on building that out first to create more real-time, at which point we will work on some potential integrations with other applications, but I don't think we are there yet."
