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."The scheduling feature for the automation is excellent."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"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 philosophy of the citizen data scientist is the key piece, which means the no-code analytics capability. This is the feature that attracted us the most."
"It is one of the most complete and great customer service that I experienced with a software company/ecosystem."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"Alteryx has a good UI. We use it frequently in our projects. The tool comes with drag-and-drop features and is easy to understand for business needs. One situation where Alteryx's advanced analytics capabilities were particularly beneficial for us was during a forecasting project. Unlike Python, which requires coding, Alteryx simplifies the process significantly. With Alteryx, users can adjust parameters within the user interface without writing any code."
"The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."
"It stands out for its ability to work across different platforms, support mainframe data, offer cloud integration, automate report scheduling, and provide a robust scripting language."
"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. It's highly scalable and can handle significant data volumes."
"The most valuable feature is building ad hoc reports."
"The solution can read and write 500 different types of outputs."
"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."
"The learning curve is long, and there is lack of e-learning; the tool is not user-friendly to a non-technical user."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"It would be great if Alteryx could take third party tools and incorporate them."
"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"It's a technical product and those that don't have proper training will have to deal with a steep learning curve."
"If there were to be any improvements right now, their documentation needs to get in sync with their product."
"The solution can be improved by adding more automated options for reporting."
"When it comes to customer support, we don't always reach the right person. Sometimes, we get junior-level reps who aren't as knowledgeable as we are."
"The challenge lies not in what the tool can do but in how you use it and understand the data."
