Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The philosophy of the citizen data scientist is the key piece, which means the no-code analytics capability. This is the feature that attracted us the most.""Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form.""The solution has excellent drag and drop functionality. There's no need for coding.""The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its performance. It is a powerful solution.""All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable.""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 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.""I think the most valuable feature for Alteryx in a health facility is that it permits cleaning, organizing, and merging of databases such as Excel and Access."

"The most valuable feature of RapidMiner is that it can read a large number of file formats including CSV, Excel, and in particular, SPSS.""The most valuable features are the Binary classification and Auto Model.""The GUI capabilities of the solution are excellent. Their Auto ML model provides for even non-coder data scientists to deploy a model.""The most valuable feature of RapidMiner is that it is code free. It is similar to playing with Lego pieces and executing after you are finished to see the results. Additionally, it is easy to use and has interesting utilities when preparing the data. It has a utility to automatically launch a series of models and show the comparisons. When finished with the comparisons you can select the best one, and deploy it automatically.""What I like about RapidMiner is its all-in-one nature, which allows me to prepare, extract, transform, and load data within the same tool.""Scalability is not really a concern with RapidMiner. It scales very well and can be used in global implementations.""The most valuable feature is what the product sets out to do, which is extracting information and data.""I've been using a lot of components from the Strategic Extension and Python Extension."

More RapidMiner Pros →

Cons
"It's a technical product and those that don't have proper training will have to deal with a steep learning curve.""The scalability worries me a lot at the moment because the cost of the solution is high and it is not growing considerably. Unfortunately, we started during early COVID times and because of the economic downturn, all the cost cuttings, and everything, it is not growing as expected.""There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients.""They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options.""Configuration is very low.""The GUI interface functions but it could stand to be updated to a more modern look and feel.""It seems to me that it is not always user friendly.""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 Alteryx Cons →

"I would like to see more integration capabilities.""I think that they should make deep learning models easier.""In the Mexican or Latin American market, it's kind of pricey.""Improve the online data services.""RapidMiner isn't cheap. It's a complete solution, but it's costly.""RapidMiner would be improved with the inclusion of more machine learning algorithms for generating time-series forecasting models.""If they could include video tutorials, people would find that quite helpful.""A great product but confusing in some way with regard to the user interface and integration with other tools."

  • "The seat is too expensive."
  • "It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."
  • "The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
