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."The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its unlimited handling capabilities."
"The design portion of this tool is easy to use without code, which his something that something we can appreciate."
"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"Good data transformation."
"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."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"Technical support is very helpful."
"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 solution is very good for data mining or any mining issues."
"he solution is scalable."
"The setup is straightforward. Deployment doesn't take more than 30 minutes."
"I like the way the product visually shows the data pipeline."
"The solution is able to handle quite large amounts of data beautifully."
"Good data management and analytics."
"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."
"It should have Linux support. It currently supports only Windows. It does not support any other platform. Its price should also be lower. Their US partner management program is actually unresponsive. One of the reasons why we don't have a formalized partnership plan with them is because their partner management team is atrociously unresponsive. This is something that they need to change."
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"The server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."
"When a process completes there is a notification, but the notification does not include the process's name."
"The solution can be made more affordable."
"It's a technical product and those that don't have proper training will have to deal with a steep learning curve."
"There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients."
"The visualization of the models is not very attractive, so the graphics should be improved."
"The solution needs an easier interface for the user. The user experience isn't so easy for our clients."
"The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies."
"Technical support could be improved."
"While I don't personally need tutorials, I can't say that it wouldn't be helpful for others to have some to help them navigate and operate the system."
"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."
"The user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual."
"The initial setup is challenging if doing it for the first time."
