We performed a comparison between Alteryx and MicroStrategy 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."Alteryx has made us more agile and increased the speed and effectiveness of decision making."
"Data processing is most valuable. It is one of the fastest data blockers out there in the market, which is a fascinating thing about Alteryx."
"It is efficient in optimizing our ability to get information."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is one of the most complete and great customer service that I experienced with a software company/ecosystem."
"The feature that I have found most valuable for Alteryx is its geo-referencing feature, it is very good. I use it a lot, especially for supply chain."
"The solution has been stable."
"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 great tool and has the best offerings for doing data analysis."
"It's an open platform. That's also important. You can create your own data connectors. There's everything you can do with APIs. It's not closed like, perhaps, an SAP system might be."
"It was easy to install and implement a report with it."
"With all the APIs it's very scalable."
"Mobile brings reports/dashboards closer to the business user."
"It has the potential to become a great evangelist for AI and other embedded analytics."
"It definitely impacts people, who are excited to use it."
"The ability to create aesthetically pleasing information by providing dashboards."
"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."
"The solution could work on the BI side of the tool to make it a bit better."
"The principal problem is the pricing. They're expensive products."
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality."
"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"There are a few hiccups with specific data sets and languages or formats that the data comes in. That may be a minor problem, but we can work through it. We had some issues looking at XML format in added data, but it wasn't significant."
"Alteryx could be improved in the area of analytics and central governance."
"Preparation, data loading and data management application is challenging with MicroStrategy. It lacks cube-based analytics as it is outdated, meaning there is no memory or fast processing analytics or MMA deployment."
"The graphs available for the new dashboard of version 10 are weak."
"The implementation itself was pretty straightforward. The tricky part was understanding MicroStrategy's licensing model, which was a bit convoluted back then."
"We did have issues with stability, and that was because we were co-located with another business unit, and we outgrew them on the unit. So we had to get to a separate physical instance."
"Enterprise Manager should be a little bit less quirky when you build out-of-the-box customization reports for it."
"We have seen some stability issues with MicroStrategy on cloud. We have a few unhappy customers."
"Sometimes, it has become too complex to upgrade and adjust to the ecosystem."
"They need to supply the support system that's just not there right now. They don't have Enterprise Manager classes. You need in-depth classes to understand what those metrics are doing, to understand the table associations from one to the other. You can't just go and pick it up and understand that DT_DAY connects to all of these tables, without going into Architect, looking at the source tables. I, as a analyst, a slightly technical user, I don't have the expertise to do that. Business users definitely don't have the expertise to do that."
