We performed a comparison between Alteryx and MicroStrategy 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."Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"It's super easy to learn how to use it — the learning curve is very small."
"The most valuable feature is user-friendliness, as Alteryx can be used by those without any coding experience or experienced data scientists as it has the functionality to embed R and Python scripts."
"The scheduling within the solution is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its stand-alone version that we do not have to download dependencies for loads. Additionally, the scan is useful for beginners."
"The support is very good."
"You get more support with Alteryx, and it's good for non-sophisticated users who can benefit from the support included in the price."
"It is efficient in optimizing our ability to get information."
"It's an open platform. That's also important. You can create your own data connectors. There's everything you can do with APIs. It's not closed like, perhaps, an SAP system might be."
"It's useful if you need to create dashboards that you check every day. Also, we can create a queue, but it will be updated every day with scheduled updates."
"It is a great tool and has the best offerings for doing data analysis."
"Scalability is the best thing. You can really scale."
"It is easy to use and visually very appealing. One thing that sets it apart is that it has got a great ETL tool. As compared to some of the other solutions, it is much easier to process data from other applications in MicroStrategy. That's why we prefer using it."
"Having the analytics capabilities on a single platform."
"Transaction Services, that was really the part of the tool that made it very compelling for us, because it gave the opportunity to drive action."
"Workstation and Desktop on the client side will speed up some development activities."
"I'd like to see more artificial intelligence business tools or features in Alteryx."
"They can provide some pre-built tools for predictive analytics instead of us having to build all the tools. It should also be improved from the visualization aspect. It should have better visualization capabilities. There are tools out there that have better visualization capabilities, which Alteryx is lacking currently."
"Deep learning models are not currently supported."
"The only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"The only weakness I would say is on the visualization side of having that dynamic incapability."
"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."
"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"The solution could work on the BI side of the tool to make it a bit better."
"There might be opportunities for reporting or data analysis, perhaps even in the realm of simulation."
"If they can make it more stable, in terms of the connectivity, that would help."
"The solution's licensing could be improved because its cost is heavy on the pockets."
"The problem is the way that their metrics are designed. It can be difficult to understand what you're actually looking at. Then when you're comparing a document against the VI, you can't actually do that properly. So there are components, and there is a huge learning curve in the Enterprise Manager space. I think it would benefit them greatly if they were to exercise a significant amount of research and development in that space."
"I would like to see more integration."
"If you do not learn the ins or outs, it can be a difficult tool to use. You could do a PoC and get enough out of it to be able to use it. However, when it comes to administering it, you definitely need the training."
"MicroStrategy lacks that community support. You're either stuck figuring things out yourself or paying expensive fees to MicroStrategy consultants for help."
"Needs more visual essence and connectors for the ecosystems, which would be easy to use."
