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."Predictive models, which are easy to use, and help a lot with fast design and deployment."
"Alteryx helps me do a lot of automation. The best thing about Alteryx is that you don't have to repeat the workflow over and over again. Unlike Excel, where you need to write formulas for each new file, Alteryx follows a consistent process. You can schedule and automate the workflow, even if the files change."
"The scheduling within the solution is excellent."
"The product's Macros probably are one of the most useful aspects."
"Automation is the most valuable aspect for us. The ability to wrap business logic around the data is very helpful."
"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."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"You don't need to have a programming language to use Anaplan."
"It's highly flexible. If you've got a complex environment with complex calculations, you can build that out. So that's a really good positive."
"I believe Anaplan is a new cloud tool, and from time to time, there's a lot of improvement that the Anaplan company deploys with the system. So, with that improvement, we need to really adapt and know the new system trends."
"I am impressed with the tool’s real-time calculations and intuitive interface. The tool’s user interface is the best compared to other software that I have worked with. I also find the tool’s management reporting feature valuable."
"The solution works very well for budgeting."
"Technical support has been good."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is web-based and easy to use."
"The best thing is that it's very intuitive and user-friendly. You don't need coding skills to manipulate the platform."
"The only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"The formula we currently use in Alteryx can be automated."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Deep learning models are not currently supported."
"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 think they should really work on integrating or have a capacity to integrate some algorithmic code. I think that's one of the most important things they need to be doing."
"One area of improvement is conditional formatting. It's not very practical, and you need to specify additional formatting."
"The solution can improve by providing an easier form of integration to different platforms, such as receiving data from different Salesforce. There is a process to do it through the use of some APIs but it could be made much easier. This would be a large help to us."
"The tool needs to work on its integration with MS Excel and MS Word. The tool does not allow data analysis in spreadsheets which is possible on other platforms. I want the solution to be more collaborative to facilitate decision-making in organizations."
"There are workspace issues, like the limitation on model sizes."
"The cloud engine slows down when working with a large dataset. It still lacks a powerful engine."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"The integration technique should be a little bit easier."
"When there is a lot of data, it sometimes takes long to load."
