We performed a comparison between Alteryx and Tableau 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."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."
"The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."
"Alteryx's connectivity is essential. We like the ability to connect the solution to multiple sources. It's easier than other data modeling and extraction solutions. It's built on a self-service concept, so it's easy for anyone to open the tool and directly import or export data from it."
"Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form."
"It has everything that one needs. Whatever you want to do with the data can be done with Alteryx."
"Alteryx has a good UI. We use it frequently in our projects. The tool comes with drag-and-drop features and is easy to understand for business needs. One situation where Alteryx's advanced analytics capabilities were particularly beneficial for us was during a forecasting project. Unlike Python, which requires coding, Alteryx simplifies the process significantly. With Alteryx, users can adjust parameters within the user interface without writing any code."
"Good data transformation."
"Automation is the most valuable aspect for us. The ability to wrap business logic around the data is very helpful."
"I like Tableau's heat maps and the storyboard. You can create data stories and tons of visuals with it, and it goes together really well. Tableau lets you manipulate the data in various ways."
"The action feature which Tableau has is very useful for us. If we click on one visualization, it will pass the value to another visualization. That interactivity within different visualizations is the most valuable feature of Tableau."
"The most valuable feature is the aggregation function."
"Tableau has many different connectors for different databases. It's very easy to connect to MySQL, SQL Server, Amazon EMR, Presto, Redshift, BigQuery, and so on."
"It most valuable feature is its ease of developing visualizations, not just charts and graphs."
"I consider Tableau to be the best analytical tool available. It's really handy to use and can be used by non-technical people."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is user-friendly and intuitive."
"The most valuable feature is the drag and drop, then the simplicity to build dashboards which allows us to provide more usable data to our customers."
"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."
"When a process completes there is a notification, but the notification does not include the process's name."
"It would be great if Alteryx could take third party tools and incorporate them."
"More statistics tools: We can use to compare SPSS statistics with some automated advisory."
"There's a big jump in terms of pricing between license tiers. I'm not sure I understand why the price jumps are so high."
"Alteryx is just as complicated as coding, in my opinion."
"I think sometimes the solution doesn't load properly or takes so much time for the workflows. Though the workflow runs and completes the file in Excel, if you use the same formula, it's a bit slow. Also, the image processing is not so good because I tried to do some image processing and they were like, sometimes they put two to eight. In the document, it was two, but the OCR predicted it as eight."
"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."
"Users would like to be able to export an Excel file when they see a table or something like that. That's not an out-of-the-box feature for Tableau."
"It will be good if the server, could be more stable, and I would like to have the technical service to be more reliable."
"The price could be better."
"There should be more GIS features, such as location analysis, which is quite limited. There are very few location-based functionalities."
"The only issue with the solution is with its prices at a regional level."
"Tableau's data modeling, mining, and AI library features need improvement."
"Licensing and pricing options could be made better so that more users would be able to use it."
"If they could add global filters in the stories, more chart types, and default colours, it would help."
