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."It is efficient in optimizing our ability to get information."
"The scheduling feature for the automation is excellent."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is the intelligence suite."
"It's super easy to learn how to use it — the learning curve is very small."
"Alteryx effectively visualizes the flow of data and what happens at each stage. I also like that it's a no-code solution. I also like that you can troubleshoot certain parts of the workflow by putting them in a sandbox."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"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."
"Anaplan's most valuable features are that it's a no-coding platform, everything can be scaled to your other functions, and it's easy to learn and use (especially because Anaplan provides excellent interactive training)."
"The solution scales well."
"It's real-time connected planning, so the calculations are pretty much seamless as far as your model is connected."
"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."
"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."
"Anaplan integrates well into my clients' core systems. The ability to aggregate the forms within the dashboarding is also useful. Only one of my clients has implemented workflow. Their usage has been very light. Dashboarding capability is probably the biggest one. My clients like having the ability to aggregate, slice and dice, and dynamically adjust things in the dashboards."
"Where we're seeing the opportunity in the market is at the Fortune 100 companies that have far more complex modeling type scenarios where you need to be able to have a lot of people collaborating together, and you need a lot of information all at everyone's fingertips. This is where you see the big advantage of a solution like Anaplan."
"The solution works very well for budgeting."
"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"Alteryx can improve in data science. They have to have more features and components in the data science aspect because they claim to be a data science tool. However, in order to be more competitive, they have to improve on their data science propositions. Thre are other solutions on the market, such as other players in the market, Data2Go or DataIQ, and Alteryx needs to catch up."
"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."
"Alteryx could be improved in the area of analytics and central governance."
"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."
"The formula we currently use in Alteryx can be automated."
"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 server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."
"Automation needs to be built into this solution."
"The solution can improve by providing an easier form of integration to different platforms, such as receiving data from different Salesforce. There is a process to do it through the use of some APIs but it could be made much easier. This would be a large help to us."
"Anaplan should come up with flexible options to connect to a data warehouse rather than an Anaplan hub."
"When there is a lot of data, it sometimes takes long to load."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"One area of improvement is conditional formatting. It's not very practical, and you need to specify additional formatting."
"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."
"The visualization tools in the product are limited in comparison to other reporting tools."
