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."The Alteryx designer has been the most useful feature in the solution."
"The design portion of this tool is easy to use without code, which his something that something we can appreciate."
"The ease-of-use allows non-technical business users to directly create their own solutions without the use of additional development resources."
"There are a lot of good customization capabilities."
"It allows for manipulation and automation, which has greatly reduced the amount of time required per project."
"The data transformation feature is the most valuable. The ability to ingest data, visualize data, and transform that data is useful."
"Alteryx is a simple and easy-to-use solution."
"I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use."
"The solution has excellent features available on mobile."
"I have had a lot of projects where we had a lot of users, like thousands of users, and the data was in one report which could bring in six million records. MicroStrategy is doing a good job on scalability."
"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 is a reliable solution for our needs."
"It keeps BI in the hands of everyone, rather than a developer or an analyst."
"Building apps is easy. You just drag in your data, and then you drag in all the elements that you want on your app. It's drag and drop design, and then you can customize your visuals. They make it all easy with plug and play widgets."
"We leverage it, not only for reporting but for analytics and also for geospatial reporting."
"The solution's platform analytics gives us real-time analysis of how a particular user uses the report and how the systems behave."
"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."
"The server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."
"There are a few hiccups with specific data sets and languages or formats that the data comes in. That may be a minor problem, but we can work through it. We had some issues looking at XML format in added data, but it wasn't significant."
"All of the reports are migrated or exported in an Excel file, and most of the time, a business intelligence tool is required. They could have better reporting. The aesthetic could be improved."
"The technical support could have a little bit of improvement."
"It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx."
"The solution can be made more affordable."
"The interface could be improved."
"In the developer, there are things that you able to do in a document or a report that you are not able to do in the Dossier."
"The product could be improved by adding additional visualization."
"Training would be an area that they could improve upon."
"They should give proper industry-based tutorials so that one can learn it easily and implement it based on the requirements. They should give more MMP files so that we can import a whole project altogether and learn from that project."
"We would really like to see MicroStrategy have some support teams based more in Europe, because for now it seems that there is one person for the whole CE region. That is not exactly what we would like to see. We do know that MicroStrategy supports most places, either in the US or India, but those are different time zones, people, and cultures."
"It needs row-level security, column-level security, on attributes. I want to be able to handle full-scale security model from the semantic layer, flat out."
"I prefer the capabilities of a single platform, but it does not always work. We are a huge company. Some areas do not use MicroStrategy, so you have to blend whatever systems they are using together to get the data points that you are looking for."
"We haven't invested in the mobile platform. We want to invest, but the problem is the security. We are in the health domain, so we have PHI data."
