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."You get more support with Alteryx, and it's good for non-sophisticated users who can benefit from the support included in the price."
"The design portion of this tool is easy to use without code, which his something that something we can appreciate."
"I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form."
"Technical support is very helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its unlimited handling capabilities."
"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."
"Technical support has been good."
"Anaplan provides 130 GB of cloud storage for organizations to use as part of their license."
"Anaplan is a three-dimensional cloud platform that is good for analyzing data, visualization, integration, terrific for visibility."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Anaplan is machine learning. The solution is constantly evolving from feedback. Additionally, there is a wide range of training material online."
"The solution works very well for budgeting."
"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."
"Even when it already includes some AI models, this area could be improved."
"Mastering Alteryx, a comprehensive solution, takes time. However, once you have gained proficiency with its layout and how to drag, drop, and connect components, it becomes remarkably easy, yet still thorough."
"Sometimes, there are performance constraints. Especially when a large file has to be ingested, the system slows down a bit. Its performance is the only thing that can be improved."
"There have been some issues with licensing, particularly with the increased prices. This has led some companies, including ours, to consider reducing the number of licenses or potentially discontinuing their use of Alteryx."
"From a commercial standpoint, more options should be available for pricing. The licensing model needs to be specific."
"Configuration is very low."
"A feature which allows the user to be able to click on an output (in a file browser) and see the creation of the module would be fantastic."
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"It would be nice if the solution offered better extensions."
"Anaplan could be improved with a stronger consolidation module."
"There are so many business rules to set up in the system that as a business user it's hard to gauge what they're doing and it's possible to get lost."
"The negative is that the higher the flexibility, the higher is the complexity. That can act against you as a negative because it does require a model builder or a coder/developer."
"The solution could improve by better dashboards and while entering the form loss and project implementation the ability to use graphical shapes more effectively."
"The dashboard could be better. Because within a dashboard or report, you have to do a lot of scrolling. You need to scroll down because the table doesn't fit in a single view. That's why even the users aren't happy with that kind of user experience. They need to scroll to see all the data, and it could be better if it fits in just one page. That way, you can see everything. In the next release, I want automation that's connected to Anaplan. For example, to load master data from SAP to Anaplan. I don't know if this already exists, but a log where you can see the progress and see if there's an error will also help. It would be better to give you the error message, for example, if there is an error within the automated process importing to Anaplan."
"Anaplan should come up with flexible options to connect to a data warehouse rather than an Anaplan hub."
"Automation needs to be built into this solution."
