We performed a comparison between Alteryx and Anaplan 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."It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data preparation."
"It is one of the most complete and great customer service that I experienced with a software company/ecosystem."
"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."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"The most valuable feature for me is integration."
"Geo features have made spatial mapping large retail universes possible."
"It's real-time connected planning, so the calculations are pretty much seamless as far as your model is connected."
"Anaplan's most valuable features are that it's a no-coding platform, everything can be scaled to your other functions, and it's easy to learn and use (especially because Anaplan provides excellent interactive training)."
"This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"It's highly flexible. If you've got a complex environment with complex calculations, you can build that out. So that's a really good positive."
"Where we're seeing the opportunity in the market is at the Fortune 100 companies that have far more complex modeling type scenarios where you need to be able to have a lot of people collaborating together, and you need a lot of information all at everyone's fingertips. This is where you see the big advantage of a solution like Anaplan."
"Anaplan integrates well into my clients' core systems. The ability to aggregate the forms within the dashboarding is also useful. Only one of my clients has implemented workflow. Their usage has been very light. Dashboarding capability is probably the biggest one. My clients like having the ability to aggregate, slice and dice, and dynamically adjust things in the dashboards."
"I am impressed with the tool’s real-time calculations and intuitive interface. The tool’s user interface is the best compared to other software that I have worked with. I also find the tool’s management reporting feature valuable."
"A colleague of mind mentioned that the solution should have more options for the visualization of data."
"It should have Linux support. It currently supports only Windows. It does not support any other platform. Its price should also be lower. Their US partner management program is actually unresponsive. One of the reasons why we don't have a formalized partnership plan with them is because their partner management team is atrociously unresponsive. This is something that they need to change."
"In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI."
"The formula we currently use in Alteryx can be automated."
"The server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."
"If there is any way to make the learning curve less steep, that would be ideal."
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality."
"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"The integration technique should be a little bit easier."
"Anaplan's workflow component is probably the biggest area for improvement. I'd also like to see Anaplan add an ad hoc reporting tool that allows users to query things. It's going to factor into how you design your data set and your models, but I'd like the ability to create ad hoc queries against the data that's in there."
"Automation needs to be built into this solution."
"One area of improvement is conditional formatting. It's not very practical, and you need to specify additional formatting."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"When there is a lot of data, it sometimes takes long to load."
"The tool needs to work on its integration with MS Excel and MS Word. The tool does not allow data analysis in spreadsheets which is possible on other platforms. I want the solution to be more collaborative to facilitate decision-making in organizations."
"The dashboard could be better. Because within a dashboard or report, you have to do a lot of scrolling. You need to scroll down because the table doesn't fit in a single view. That's why even the users aren't happy with that kind of user experience. They need to scroll to see all the data, and it could be better if it fits in just one page. That way, you can see everything. In the next release, I want automation that's connected to Anaplan. For example, to load master data from SAP to Anaplan. I don't know if this already exists, but a log where you can see the progress and see if there's an error will also help. It would be better to give you the error message, for example, if there is an error within the automated process importing to Anaplan."
