Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, RapidMiner, SAP and others in Predictive Analytics."One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"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."
"The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."
"The data transformation feature is the most valuable. The ability to ingest data, visualize data, and transform that data is useful."
"The scheduling feature for the automation is excellent."
"It saves time on a lot projects. "
"The GUI is simple and it integrates with Python."
"Good data transformation."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. I didn't face any issues with stability."
"The product is easy to use."
"It's quite effortless to navigate through various applications and review their updated data in real-time."
"From a developer's perspective, the way the functionality's being handled is great."
"With Looker, I have experienced benefits in terms of usability and shareability."
"We can centralize all our data models."
"The stability of Looker has been good since I have been using it. However, it depends on what components are being used."
"It is a pretty stable solution because it is a cloud-based product."
"The solution can be made more affordable."
"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."
"A colleague of mind mentioned that the solution should have more options for the visualization of data."
"The principal problem is the pricing. They're expensive products."
"The solution just lacks in terms of data visualization. That is why we use Tableau and Qlik in our organization. They help to pick up the slack. If data visualization was added, Alteryx would be a very good tool, and much more complete."
"More statistics tools: We can use to compare SPSS statistics with some automated advisory."
"Configuration is very low."
"Stability needs improvement."
"Looker doesn't connect to Excel, which is a huge disappointment because a lot of data is presented in Excel. Also, it can't consume data directly from REST APIs, which is necessary. Looker needs to expand its horizons when it comes to data sources. The inability to connect to different data sources is hampering our use cases. Currently, it only has an ODBC connection that connects to a database. It needs to connect to other data sources, such as Excel, APIs, and different platforms."
"It needs to be more user-friendly."
"The visualization capability of the product is limited."
"The integration with different databases must be improved."
"The product does not have documented material."
"Integrations with other BI tools could be better."
"The main area of concern in Looker is probably related to blending the data from the different sources, including the data present internally in the company and on the cloud."
