We performed a comparison between Alteryx and SAS Predictive Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, SAP, RapidMiner and others in Predictive Analytics."Alteryx effectively visualizes the flow of data and what happens at each stage. I also like that it's a no-code solution. I also like that you can troubleshoot certain parts of the workflow by putting them in a sandbox."
"Alteryx is so advanced. It's just drag and drop."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is the intelligence suite."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The scheduling within the solution is excellent."
"It has everything that one needs. Whatever you want to do with the data can be done with Alteryx."
"The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily."
"The three data signs and data engineering are great features."
"The most valuable features are forecasting and reporting."
"The most valuable feature is its flexibility and the ability to integrate with SAS."
"More statistics tools: We can use to compare SPSS statistics with some automated advisory."
"The solution could work on the BI side of the tool to make it a bit better."
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"I mostly used it for flat files, but I have many colleagues who reported that to tune a query, in case they want to directly connect to the database, there is no option to optimize the performance of the query, as we have in Informatica."
"I think they should really work on integrating or have a capacity to integrate some algorithmic code. I think that's one of the most important things they need to be doing."
"The GUI interface functions but it could stand to be updated to a more modern look and feel."
"The server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."
"They can provide some pre-built tools for predictive analytics instead of us having to build all the tools. It should also be improved from the visualization aspect. It should have better visualization capabilities. There are tools out there that have better visualization capabilities, which Alteryx is lacking currently."
"Technical support could be improved because they take too long to answer our queries."
"I think that this solution should be more compatible with other software, including open-source solutions."
