We performed a comparison between Alteryx and IBM Watson Studio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Science Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I believe that the ability to leverage the gallery for scalability, as well as the general data blending functionality, is most beneficial to our core-based users."
"The most valuable feature for me is integration."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form."
"It is one of the most complete and great customer service that I experienced with a software company/ecosystem."
"The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily."
"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"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."
"It is a stable, reliable product."
"The most important thing is that it's a multi-faceted solution. It's a kind of specialist, not a generalist. It can produce very specific information for the customer. It's totally different from Google or any search engine that produces generic information. It's specialty is that it's all on video."
"The main benefit is the ease of use. We see a lot of engineers in our site and customers that really like the way the tools are able to work with the people."
"IBM Watson Studio consistently automates across channels."
"It has greatly improved the performance because it is standardized across the company."
"Watson Studio is very stable."
"The scalability of IBM Watson Studio is great."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"It's a technical product and those that don't have proper training will have to deal with a steep learning curve."
"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"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."
"More statistics tools: We can use to compare SPSS statistics with some automated advisory."
"We can't browse multiple files. When we deploy a solution on a gallery, let's say I have ten different files, and I have to upload them all at once. This is something that's difficult in the gallery. So case by case, I see some downsides, but often we do something alternative."
"When a process completes there is a notification, but the notification does not include the process's name."
"There's a big jump in terms of pricing between license tiers. I'm not sure I understand why the price jumps are so high."
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"We would like to see it more web-based with more functionality."
"The decision making in their decision making feature is less good than other options."
"More features in data virtualization would be helpful. The solution could use an interactive dashboard that could make exploration easier."
"I think maybe the support is an area where it lacks."
"The main challenge lies in visibility and ease of use."
"We would like to see it less as one big, massive product, but more based on smaller services that we can then roll out to consumers."
"I want IBM's technical support team to provide more specific answers to queries."
"Some of the solutions are really good solutions but they can be a little too costly for many."
