Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, SAP, RapidMiner and others in Predictive Analytics."All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"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."
"The Alteryx designer has been the most useful feature in the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is the intelligence suite."
"I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use."
"Alteryx is a low-code platform, and that's the biggest reason why we chose it."
"Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form."
"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"The technical support services are good."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"Sometimes workflows tend to queue up, and they tend to get canceled for some reason that we don't know sometimes."
"The next feature release should include easier reporting."
"More statistics tools: We can use to compare SPSS statistics with some automated advisory."
"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability."
"The learning curve is long, and there is lack of e-learning; the tool is not user-friendly to a non-technical user."
"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."
"The interface could be improved."
"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."
"Colours used on report objects"
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
"SAS Visual Analytics could improve by making it more accessible for users outside the organization."
"It is not as mature as competitors such as Tableau and QlikView."
"There are scalability issues. It depends on the data volume and number of end-users. VA requires a lot of hardware resources to move volumes of data."
"The deployment isn't smooth. Deploying Visual Analytics on the cloud takes a lot of work, or you can use some providers that give you SAS as a service. For example, there is a provider called SaasNow. They host SAS Visual Analytics and the license. You can buy the license and deploy it there without the hassle of installation because deploying the software isn't easy."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
