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."
"Alteryx's connectivity is essential. We like the ability to connect the solution to multiple sources. It's easier than other data modeling and extraction solutions. It's built on a self-service concept, so it's easy for anyone to open the tool and directly import or export data from it."
"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 ease-of-use allows non-technical business users to directly create their own solutions without the use of additional development resources."
"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 most valuable feature for me is integration."
"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"The data transformation feature is the most valuable. The ability to ingest data, visualize data, and transform that data is useful."
"The most valuable feature is building ad hoc reports."
"It stands out for its ability to work across different platforms, support mainframe data, offer cloud integration, automate report scheduling, and provide a robust scripting language."
"The solution can read and write 500 different types of outputs."
"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. It's highly scalable and can handle significant data volumes."
"There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients."
"A colleague of mind mentioned that the solution should have more options for the visualization of data."
"There are a few hiccups with specific data sets and languages or formats that the data comes in. That may be a minor problem, but we can work through it. We had some issues looking at XML format in added data, but it wasn't significant."
"There's a big jump in terms of pricing between license tiers. I'm not sure I understand why the price jumps are so high."
"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"Alteryx is just as complicated as coding, in my opinion."
"The only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"The GUI interface functions but it could stand to be updated to a more modern look and feel."
"If there were to be any improvements right now, their documentation needs to get in sync with their product."
"The challenge lies not in what the tool can do but in how you use it and understand the data."
"The solution can be improved by adding more automated options for reporting."
"When it comes to customer support, we don't always reach the right person. Sometimes, we get junior-level reps who aren't as knowledgeable as we are."
