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."The solution has been stable."
"I like the fact that you can easily blend data from different platforms."
"The scheduling within the solution is excellent."
"It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data preparation."
"The analytics are easy."
"The most valuable feature for me is integration."
"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."
"It integrates with third-party applications such as Google Drive and Excel,"
"Considering the reporting part, I rate the tool a nine out of ten."
"Provides rich features for developing automated reports and dashboards."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. We haven't tried all of the features yet. The graphing and the ease of using the analytics tools have been great. It's all drag and drop; you don't need to code anything."
"It's easy to connect Analytics Cloud with other SAP solutions, and it's also effortless to deploy. You don't need much technical skill to set it up. It's as easy as setting up a tablet. I said tablet before. It's very easy to actually set up."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Analytics Cloud is its integration with SAP."
"The most valuable features are the analytical application and the user story."
"Alteryx is just as complicated as coding, in my opinion."
"The server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality."
"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."
"It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx."
"They can provide some pre-built tools for predictive analytics instead of us having to build all the tools. It should also be improved from the visualization aspect. It should have better visualization capabilities. There are tools out there that have better visualization capabilities, which Alteryx is lacking currently."
"The gallery could improve in Alteryx. Additionally, if there was a Conditional Join feature it would be beneficial. Since I do not have this feature I have to use Python scripts."
"I am not happy with the predictive analytics features and smart features offered by the product, making them areas where improvements are required."
"It's lacking a bit in maturity and we find we can't run our business off it until it's improved."
"An additional feature that needs to be added to SAP Analytics Cloud is exporting because right now, you can only export to PDF and PowerPoint. It would be good to have multiple export options, for example, to Excel and other apps. Pricing is an area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud, apart from exporting."
"Pricing is fine for the BI license, but when it comes to client license, that fee is a bit high."
"There is no direct connector from SAP to Redshift, so we are required to use a third-party product that was recommended by SAP."
"There is plenty of room for improvement. They have different products, and you need to integrate all of them to have one functionality. For example, data extraction happens in Datasphere. Then it would be best if you had some connection between the Datasphere and the SAP Analytics Cloud to get the data, as this is causing headaches sometimes. The knowledge base and Jedox also could be more meaningful. I have tried to search for some specific knowledge base and technology base, and I didn't find them. I have learned it by trial and error. There is room to improve the integrations between the different products. The AFS, and the Data action, need improvement. Sometimes they release new tools and updates, but not in my area."
"The price, integration, and modeling capabilities could be better. I have to use an integration engine to integrate our products and databases. SAP Analytics Cloud is made specifically for KPIs and business intelligence. The modeling capabilities are kind of poor. You always have to model the data and then present it visually in SAP Analytics Cloud. In the next release, I would like to have a lite version for planning to create scenarios quickly. For me personally, planning is the most complicated feature of SAP Analytics Cloud."
"AI doesn't work as well with SAP live connections."
