Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, RapidMiner, SAP and others in Predictive Analytics."The tools are built-in. You just plug and play, drag and drop, once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form."
"I believe that the ability to leverage the gallery for scalability, as well as the general data blending functionality, is most beneficial to our core-based users."
"There are a lot of good customization capabilities."
"The solution has excellent drag and drop functionality. There's no need for coding."
"The scheduling feature for the automation is excellent."
"The drag-and-drop features are useful for data scientists who do not like to code because it is already in the system."
"The product's Macros probably are one of the most useful aspects."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"The technical support services are good."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"Visual Analytics is very easy to use. I use Visual Analytics for all the typical use cases except text mining. I used it to analyze data and monitor statistics, not text mining. I also use it for data visualization as well as creating interactive dashboards and infographics."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"The most solution's notable aspect, in my view, is the ability to integrate various data sources and harness advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. This helps with quality assurance processes."
"What I really love about the software is that I have never struggled in implementing it for complex business requirements. It is good for highly sophisticated and specialized statistics in the areas that some people tend to call artificial intelligence. It is used for everything that involves visual presentation and analysis of highly sophisticated statistics for forecasting and other purposes."
"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"Alteryx can improve in data science. They have to have more features and components in the data science aspect because they claim to be a data science tool. However, in order to be more competitive, they have to improve on their data science propositions. Thre are other solutions on the market, such as other players in the market, Data2Go or DataIQ, and Alteryx needs to catch up."
"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."
"Even when it already includes some AI models, this area could be improved."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"They should work on its pricing."
"All of the reports are migrated or exported in an Excel file, and most of the time, a business intelligence tool is required. They could have better reporting. The aesthetic could be improved."
"I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"Colours used on report objects"
"The solution is a little weak at the front end."
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"The solution should improve its graphics."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
"There are scalability issues. It depends on the data volume and number of end-users. VA requires a lot of hardware resources to move volumes of data."
