Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, RapidMiner, SAP and others in Predictive Analytics."The solution has excellent drag and drop functionality. There's no need for coding."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its performance. It is a powerful solution."
"The data transformation feature is the most valuable. The ability to ingest data, visualize data, and transform that data is useful."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis."
"The solution has a very strong community that is involved in the product. It helps make the usage easier and helps us find answers to our questions."
"The scheduling within the solution is excellent."
"It's easy to drill down or expand data to get more details right out of the box."
"I would say the return on investment is good. Whatever we invested, we got results. We have been finding it easy to use and onboard new use cases."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"I like ThoughtSpot's search capabilities. You can also create custom analytics even if you aren't an experienced data analyst. We have users with no data analytics experience making some of the dashboards we've created, copying components, and customizing them to their specific use cases."
"The ability to do ad hoc explorations of data has been most valuable."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"ThoughtSpot takes the modifying of existing reports out of our hands."
"The scalability is good."
"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."
"A feature which allows the user to be able to click on an output (in a file browser) and see the creation of the module would be fantastic."
"When a process completes there is a notification, but the notification does not include the process's name."
"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."
"It should have Linux support. It currently supports only Windows. It does not support any other platform. Its price should also be lower. Their US partner management program is actually unresponsive. One of the reasons why we don't have a formalized partnership plan with them is because their partner management team is atrociously unresponsive. This is something that they need to change."
"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"I mostly used it for flat files, but I have many colleagues who reported that to tune a query, in case they want to directly connect to the database, there is no option to optimize the performance of the query, as we have in Informatica."
"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."
"The dashboards could give you more ability to fine tune the appearance. You get a great deal more control over how something looks in Power BI than you do in ThoughtSpot."
"I would like to see more flexibility in adding the pins. Currently, we have four different sizes in which I can add pins, but I would like to be able to resize my pins."
"ThoughtSpot is a fairly new product, so some usability aspects aren't as mature as we'd like them to be. One example is their organizational methodology, like how objects are organized in their dashboards inside the product. They're all on a flat list, which works if you've got five or 10 dashboards. However, it's insufficient when you're a large enterprise with multiple groups looking at the same dashboards. It isn't organized well."
"If I want to order columns, this feature is not there."
"In terms of features, I'd like to be able to pivot data - for example, going from rows to columns. It's not easy to do."
"The most difficult thing I found is that it only deals with the files and does not have direct connectivity to databases."
"A customized visualization is lacking in this product."
"The one area of the solution that I do hear needs improvement is on the visualization front."
