We performed a comparison between Alteryx and Pyramid Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, SAP, RapidMiner and others in Predictive Analytics."The analytics are easy."
"The ease-of-use allows non-technical business users to directly create their own solutions without the use of additional development resources."
"It's super easy to learn how to use it — the learning curve is very small."
"The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."
"Shortens the time required to start analyzing data and looking for insights, minimizing the tasks that do not add value to the business and maximizing the analysis phase."
"The scheduling feature for the automation is excellent."
"It is one of the most complete and great customer service that I experienced with a software company/ecosystem."
"The data transformation feature is the most valuable. The ability to ingest data, visualize data, and transform that data is useful."
"Pyramid has a wide level of uses, as it's a complete ETL process and has a good level of connecting to a lot of data sources."
"The features I find most valuable are 'Discover,' 'Formulate,' and 'Model.' I use them regularly to build logic and create reports for my job."
"It offers a wide range of analytics options including statistics and visualizations, as well as prediction capabilities, allowing users to make forecasts based on the latest data."
"It proved to be a very powerful and useful tool due to its breakdown capabilities, easy reporting features, flexibility in building custom calculations, and the ability to integrate them into reports."
"The on-premise version has quite good scalability."
"It seems quite performant in analyzing multi-dimensional information sets and presenting them."
"I think the most valuable Pyramid Analytics feature is the solution's ability to drill down and dice in the loop. I think it is better than InExcel or Power BI."
"The most valuable feature of Pyramid Analytics, outshining even top-tier platforms like Power BI, is its robust support for DAX queries."
"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."
"From a commercial standpoint, more options should be available for pricing. The licensing model needs to be specific."
"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search."
"The scalability worries me a lot at the moment because the cost of the solution is high and it is not growing considerably. Unfortunately, we started during early COVID times and because of the economic downturn, all the cost cuttings, and everything, it is not growing as expected."
"Mastering Alteryx, a comprehensive solution, takes time. However, once you have gained proficiency with its layout and how to drag, drop, and connect components, it becomes remarkably easy, yet still thorough."
"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 only weakness I would say is on the visualization side of having that dynamic incapability."
"Pyramid Analytics could improve by speeding up data refresh, especially for large datasets."
"It would be desirable to have the possibility to generate a data dictionary, detailing the original physical tables, renamed fields, and derived fields."
"There is room for improvement in terms of the user interface, particularly when it comes to modifying connections between filters and visual components in a dashboard."
"There is room for improvement in terms of documentation and examples, especially for newcomers like me who are learning both business intelligence and Pyramid."
"The general amount of negative comments that I am hearing from my team makes me very wary."
"I think the graphic number of charts and components could be higher, at least comparable to Brain Power BI."
"I find that this is quite a heavy, time-consuming tool for developers."
"Even though the solution has a functionality for every step, it's not so well- defined. That needs to be improved."
