We performed a comparison between Alteryx and Microsoft Power BI 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."I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use."
"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."
"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily."
"The feature that I have found most valuable for Alteryx is its geo-referencing feature, it is very good. I use it a lot, especially for supply chain."
"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."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"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."
"It gives us, the ability to do a lot of analysis quickly, similar to ad hoc analysis."
"One of the most valuable aspects of this tool is its ease of use and the ability to easily share information with others."
"They find Power BI's data pull mechanism to be sufficient and cost-effective, especially considering the stability it provides. In comparison with other solutions, Power BI stands out as a fantastic choice. Therefore, I would definitely recommend sticking with the Pro license."
"Technical support is quite responsive."
"I have found the best features to be the dashboard creation, graphs, charts, and presentation bar graphs."
"There is also a chart store where we can download charts, which is extremely useful."
"It gives you an edge if you are on the Microsoft platform. If you have been using Microsoft products for a long time or if you have the Microsoft infrastructure, this is the right tool for you. It has seamless integration with Microsoft SQL Server and other sources, and you get the best of the three things (SSIS, SSAS, and SSRS) in one suite."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."
"The interface could be improved."
"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."
"It would be nice if they can provide Alteryx with more options for In-DB connectivity. That functionality is there, but it doesn't include all software we are connecting."
"Deep learning models are not currently supported."
"The only weakness I would say is on the visualization side of having that dynamic incapability."
"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."
"It's a technical product and those that don't have proper training will have to deal with a steep learning curve."
"Areas for improvement would be the construction of reports and the dashboard budget."
"I would like to see the product offer more graphics to impact different audiences."
"For someone who is new, I think that Power BI can be a little complicated."
"The on-premises version lacks some technical features that are available with the Cloud version."
"The challenge of this product is in truncating the table data."
"The graphic interface could be better."
"Trend data and dashboards need improvement."
"A lot of people work on Excel, so being able to export an Excel file as part of a subscription would be an improvement."
