Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, RapidMiner, SAP and others in Predictive Analytics."The drag-and-drop functionality, the ready-to-use analytics module, and the ability to track my data pipelines visually are the solution's most valuable features."
"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."
"You get more support with Alteryx, and it's good for non-sophisticated users who can benefit from the support included in the price."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"Geo features have made spatial mapping large retail universes possible."
"The solution offers excellent predicting power. The accuracy and confidence have been great."
"It is efficient in optimizing our ability to get information."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"The fact that the solution is visually appealing because of its lightning interfaces can be considered one of its most valuable features"
"The out-of-the-box features are good for companies that want to try analytics and data science interventions."
"The way Salesforce Einstein Analytics is structured in terms of the work assignments and the user profile is very good."
"We have found the scalability to be very good."
"Tableau CRM is a very capable solution. It is easy to use, user-friendly, and integrates well."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is the reporting tools."
"Einstein Analytics provides insights into what we are doing and how we are doing it. It tells us what benchmarks we need to hit consistently to achieve our goals. In sales, there is sometimes a disconnect between actions and objectives. We aren't necessarily going to close a deal because we call X number of people. There are some underlying skills that add nuance to these metrics."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Einstein Analytics are the flexibility around the deployment, overall capabilities, user-friendliness, and interactiveness with the tools that came built with it."
"Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."
"The principal problem is the pricing. They're expensive products."
"It would be nice if they can provide Alteryx with more options for In-DB connectivity. That functionality is there, but it doesn't include all software we are connecting."
"The only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"Alteryx can improve the model management and deployment processing of large workloads."
"The formula we currently use in Alteryx can be automated."
"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."
"I would advise others not to customize because they rolled out the newer versions, which are every six months. There had to be some significant testing and verification that happened. It is important to have a strong third-party provider that is very experienced. We used Deloitte, but we evaluated Accenture, KPMG, and IBM, but we decided on Deloitte and that was a good decision for us. Having a partner who has a center of excellence or experts that could give you a lot of the tips that they've learned could jumpstart your deployment and stick to the standards."
"Improvement-wise, I feel the solution must be more robust since it is not exactly ready to handle large data."
"All of the timesheets and appraisal management I have not been happy with. There should be some improvements. For example, as a management team, our managers do not have access to see a summary report, such as who is on leave today or how many hours each person logged in. You have to get into individual users and see. You cannot see a summary report, the reporting is missing. There should improve the reports."
"They can provide more end-user customizations. There should be the possibility for the end-users to change some elements in the interface. I have a way of doing my job. My colleague may have his own way of doing his job. If I ask for a change, it'll change for everyone. It'll be good to have some end-user personalizations. I can't see many in Salesforce right now."
"The product must be more transparent."
"Better pricing would make it available to more users and we would likely use it more broadly within the organization."
"They have a lot of opportunity to improve BI tools. With Einstein Analytics, we have a very minimal scope."
"There are some offerings like Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud that have very useful online learning options. There need to be more avenues for self-learning with this particular solution. That would be useful."
