We performed a comparison between Alteryx and Microsoft Power BI 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 scheduling within the solution is excellent."
"Alteryx has helped us spend more time identifying results instead of performing analysis manually. It has helped us in our loading process, including scrubbing data and identifying data elements that need to be corrected. It enables us to understand our data sets a lot better."
"Geo features have made spatial mapping large retail universes possible."
"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 saves time on a lot projects. "
"It is one of the most complete and great customer service that I experienced with a software company/ecosystem."
"The feature that I have found most valuable for Alteryx is its geo-referencing feature, it is very good. I use it a lot, especially for supply chain."
"The solution has been stable."
"The advantages of Microsoft Power BI stem from the fact that it is really easy to use. The drag and drop facilities provided by the product are good."
"The product is easy to use and simple to navigate."
"We've used Microsoft BI for the general use cases around reporting and dashboarding."
"Power BI allows you to create user defined charts which is really useful."
"The user experience is easy. Users get familiar with it quickly."
"Previously we used Excel, which took a long time - two or three weeks - to bring the data into a uniform format, whereas BI can do the same job in a day."
"It is low-cost and easy to deploy. It is fully-featured."
"Constant collaboration is the most valuable. I can build a dashboard, and several co-workers can access this dashboard. We can share information that is important for decision-making. It is a very easy-to-deploy solution. It is compatible with a lot of data sources. It is also very stable and scalable. There is also a very good forum and a lot of help and online training."
"Sometimes, there are performance constraints. Especially when a large file has to be ingested, the system slows down a bit. Its performance is the only thing that can be improved."
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality."
"Alteryx is just as complicated as coding, in my opinion."
"We are hoping that the NLP features will also support Chinese characters."
"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 gallery could improve in Alteryx. Additionally, if there was a Conditional Join feature it would be beneficial. Since I do not have this feature I have to use Python scripts."
"I'd like it to be easier to work with PDF."
"Deep learning models are not currently supported."
"The integration with third-party products could be more stable."
"The one thing that I noticed specifically was the graphical features, and some of the analytical features. They were stronger on the Tableau side."
"Microsoft needs to provide more drivers to connect other data sources in a native way."
"The product doesn't support unstructured data. It doesn't support video, streaming, and strings of files."
"I would like Microsoft to include some inbuilt machine learning so that it becomes point-and-click, rather than us developing models out of API and BI connecting to that and getting the results. That process gets in the way of continuity."
"I'm missing collaborations functionality to operate or to work connected with multiple people on a data source or on virtualization. There should be more collaborations functions, such as in Confluence. We haven't explored the solution sufficiently in this area, but at this time it doesn't look sufficient."
"Adding paginated reports to this tool could be of great help for users who want to move away from SSRS."
"I think that they can add more types of charts because the selection on the desktop version is limited."
