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."
"The solution has been stable."
"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"Alteryx helps me do a lot of automation. The best thing about Alteryx is that you don't have to repeat the workflow over and over again. Unlike Excel, where you need to write formulas for each new file, Alteryx follows a consistent process. You can schedule and automate the workflow, even if the files change."
"The tools are built-in. You just plug and play, drag and drop, once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"The data transformation feature is the most valuable. The ability to ingest data, visualize data, and transform that data is useful."
"The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."
"It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"It's easy to drill down or expand data to get more details right out of the box."
"The ability to do ad hoc explorations of data has been most valuable."
"I like ThoughtSpot's search capabilities. You can also create custom analytics even if you aren't an experienced data analyst. We have users with no data analytics experience making some of the dashboards we've created, copying components, and customizing them to their specific use cases."
"ThoughtSpot takes the modifying of existing reports out of our hands."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"I would say the return on investment is good. Whatever we invested, we got results. We have been finding it easy to use and onboard new use cases."
"The scalability is good."
"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"Alteryx could be improved in the area of analytics and central governance."
"The solution is improving continuously. They have, for example, just added automatic insights. If they continue to improve on their overall service offering, that would be ideal."
"The technical support could have a little bit of improvement."
"The learning curve is long, and there is lack of e-learning; the tool is not user-friendly to a non-technical user."
"I'd like it to be easier to work with PDF."
"In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI."
"I think sometimes the solution doesn't load properly or takes so much time for the workflows. Though the workflow runs and completes the file in Excel, if you use the same formula, it's a bit slow. Also, the image processing is not so good because I tried to do some image processing and they were like, sometimes they put two to eight. In the document, it was two, but the OCR predicted it as eight."
"I would like to see more flexibility in adding the pins. Currently, we have four different sizes in which I can add pins, but I would like to be able to resize my pins."
"The one area of the solution that I do hear needs improvement is on the visualization front."
"If I want to order columns, this feature is not there."
"The most difficult thing I found is that it only deals with the files and does not have direct connectivity to databases."
"The dashboards could give you more ability to fine tune the appearance. You get a great deal more control over how something looks in Power BI than you do in ThoughtSpot."
"ThoughtSpot is a fairly new product, so some usability aspects aren't as mature as we'd like them to be. One example is their organizational methodology, like how objects are organized in their dashboards inside the product. They're all on a flat list, which works if you've got five or 10 dashboards. However, it's insufficient when you're a large enterprise with multiple groups looking at the same dashboards. It isn't organized well."
"A customized visualization is lacking in this product."
"In terms of features, I'd like to be able to pivot data - for example, going from rows to columns. It's not easy to do."
