Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, RapidMiner, SAP and others in Predictive Analytics."The drag-and-drop functionality, the ready-to-use analytics module, and the ability to track my data pipelines visually are the solution's most valuable features."
"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."
"You get more support with Alteryx, and it's good for non-sophisticated users who can benefit from the support included in the price."
"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."
"The solution offers excellent predicting power. The accuracy and confidence have been great."
"Predictive models, which are easy to use, and help a lot with fast design and deployment."
"Alteryx helps me do a lot of automation. The best thing about Alteryx is that you don't have to repeat the workflow over and over again. Unlike Excel, where you need to write formulas for each new file, Alteryx follows a consistent process. You can schedule and automate the workflow, even if the files change."
"The tools are built-in. You just plug and play, drag and drop, once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"It helps us fetch specific data sets per users' requirements."
"The solution can handle a large volume of data."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Essbase is extremely stable and low-maintenance."
"It is very fast compared to other normal databases, like SQL and MySQL."
"Unlike relational, where you're linking together multiple tables, with Essbase, you basically define what the dimensions are beforehand, and you define the hierarchy, and then load the data. This allows you to do a pretty sophisticated analysis so that you can drill into it and slice and dice the data."
"It is highly efficient and easily scalable, particularly for handling large databases."
"It's a very powerful analytical engine with Essbase as the back end. We can analyze, transform, or utilize a big chunk of data for our calculations."
"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability."
"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"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."
"From a commercial standpoint, more options should be available for pricing. The licensing model needs to be specific."
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"The interface could be improved."
"A colleague of mind mentioned that the solution should have more options for the visualization of data."
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality."
"The consolidation engine, which is HFM or FCCS, needs some room for improvement."
"They should improve the solution's performance."
"There is room for improvement in terms of cost-effectiveness."
"Essbase has a programming language, and it has a couple of functions to do forecasting, however, their feature set for that is not that good."
"It's an expensive product to use."
"I would like to see an integration with application performance management and a version control management tool."
"The ability to drive external reporting out for development could be improved."
"The initial setup is pretty complex."
