We performed a comparison between Alteryx and SAS Enterprise Miner based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Science Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Automation is the most valuable aspect for us. The ability to wrap business logic around the data is very helpful."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data preparation."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use."
"I think the most valuable feature for Alteryx in a health facility is that it permits cleaning, organizing, and merging of databases such as Excel and Access."
"Good data transformation."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"Most of the features, especially on the data analysis tool pack, are really good. The way they do clustering and output is great. You can do fairly elaborate outputs. The results, the ensembles, all of these, are fantastic."
"The solution is very good for data mining or any mining issues."
"I found the ease of use of the solution the most valuable. Additionally, other valuable features include: the user interface, power to extract data, compatibility with other technologies (specifically with PS400), and automation of several tasks."
"The setup is straightforward. Deployment doesn't take more than 30 minutes."
"The most valuable feature is the decision tree creation."
"Good data management and analytics."
"he solution is scalable."
"The technical support is very good."
"What they're struggling with is it's not as mature as Tableau in the user management area. It was tougher to manage the server part of it right away, especially since the user base has grown."
"The technical support could have a little bit of improvement."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"The solution can be made more affordable."
"They can provide some pre-built tools for predictive analytics instead of us having to build all the tools. It should also be improved from the visualization aspect. It should have better visualization capabilities. There are tools out there that have better visualization capabilities, which Alteryx is lacking currently."
"The server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."
"The principal problem is the pricing. They're expensive products."
"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"The solution is much more complex than other options."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The ease of use can be improved. When you are new it seems a bit complex."
"The user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual."
"Virtualization could be much better."
"The visualization of the models is not very attractive, so the graphics should be improved."
"The initial setup is challenging if doing it for the first time."
"The solution is very stable, but we do have some problems with discrepancies involving SAS not matching with the latest Java versions. It's not stable in cases where SAS tries to run on a different version because SAS doesn't connect with the latest Java update. Once a month we need to restart systems from scratch."
