We performed a comparison between Alteryx and SAP Analytics Cloud 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."Its initial setup is easy."
"The ease-of-use allows non-technical business users to directly create their own solutions without the use of additional development resources."
"It's super easy to learn how to use it — the learning curve is very small."
"The analytics are easy."
"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its unlimited handling capabilities."
"I believe that the ability to leverage the gallery for scalability, as well as the general data blending functionality, is most beneficial to our core-based users."
"Predictive models, which are easy to use, and help a lot with fast design and deployment."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. We haven't tried all of the features yet. The graphing and the ease of using the analytics tools have been great. It's all drag and drop; you don't need to code anything."
"The most valuable features are on the application side, where you can design applications into your analytics on the platform."
"Easy to use."
"The most useful feature of SAP Analytics Cloud is planning because it helps users with making predictions and forecasts. Clients can forecast, make data allocations, and other actions. The solution is useful for planning."
"The solution is quite effective for collaborative planning."
"The most valuable feature of the tool is machine learning."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Analytics Cloud is its integration with SAP."
"The ability to collaborate and plan together is great."
"I'd like it to be easier to work with PDF."
"More statistics tools: We can use to compare SPSS statistics with some automated advisory."
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"We can't browse multiple files. When we deploy a solution on a gallery, let's say I have ten different files, and I have to upload them all at once. This is something that's difficult in the gallery. So case by case, I see some downsides, but often we do something alternative."
"We are hoping that the NLP features will also support Chinese characters."
"The solution can be made more affordable."
"The gallery could improve in Alteryx. Additionally, if there was a Conditional Join feature it would be beneficial. Since I do not have this feature I have to use Python scripts."
"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."
"The customizations need to be better."
"Some of the standard visualizations, such as a speedometer or a goal chart, are not there and should be added."
"Connection and integration with other applications have a lot of restrictions at the moment."
"It seems like there's a problem with the tool's licenses. If there are a lot of users, like 200, who only use the solution once a year, paying for a full-year license for each user is expensive. There's no option for users who only use the solution occasionally."
"SAP could add more templates to the platform."
"It's lacking a bit in maturity and we find we can't run our business off it until it's improved."
"One area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud is incorporating Python into the coding. That functionality is available, but it's not as efficient, and it's a bit difficult sometimes to do it, so that could be improved."
"The business intelligence features should be improved because there is a lack of functionality regarding that part."
