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 most valuable feature for me is integration."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"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."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data preparation."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"The scheduling within the solution is excellent."
"The design portion of this tool is easy to use without code, which his something that something we can appreciate."
"The product is flexible and has features like AI, link analysis, and insights. It has many features. I can search, and it creates automatic charts without selecting anything. For example, I can ask, "What is the gross margin?" the tool builds a chart based on my question."
"In the most recent release, the schedule publication was officially updated and it's been added on MS Office 365. I like how we had an EPM for B to C perspective; it's a great enhancement. Also, I believe the B to B connectivity has been improved. Android support for mobile is really good also. Power BI has always had android support in place, so manual support for SAP Analytics Cloud is also a very good feature."
"Easy to use."
"Real-time data makes for a single version of the truth."
"In the data warehouse, you're free to make changes. You can make everything text, meaning it's always a string. Even numbers appear as text, giving you the flexibility to work with all columns."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is very easy to use, and you don't require much technology. It has a very good library and analytics. It is easy to configure and offers good visualization."
"The solution is stable."
"Offers both business intelligence as well as inbuilt AI and machine learning capabilities."
"A feature which allows the user to be able to click on an output (in a file browser) and see the creation of the module would be fantastic."
"The solution could improve in the visualization."
"Deep learning models are not currently supported."
"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."
"The technical support could have a little bit of improvement."
"The solution just lacks in terms of data visualization. That is why we use Tableau and Qlik in our organization. They help to pick up the slack. If data visualization was added, Alteryx would be a very good tool, and much more complete."
"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"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."
"Statistical analysis should be a bit more profound than it is."
"I am not happy with the predictive analytics features and smart features offered by the product, making them areas where improvements are required."
"Sometimes there are speed issues with big deletion data."
"The solution should include other scripting languages as well, such as Python."
"I expect more integration from SAP Analytics Cloud."
"SAP Analytics cloud needs better exporting options."
"Improvements are coming quarterly whereas previously it was on a monthly basis."
"One area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud is incorporating Python into the coding. That functionality is available, but it's not as efficient, and it's a bit difficult sometimes to do it, so that could be improved."
