We performed a comparison between Alteryx and MicroStrategy 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."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."
"The three data signs and data engineering are great features."
"The data transformation feature is the most valuable. The ability to ingest data, visualize data, and transform that data is useful."
"The analytics are easy."
"Geo features have made spatial mapping large retail universes possible."
"The product's Macros probably are one of the most useful aspects."
"It's super easy to learn how to use it — the learning curve is very small."
"The feature that I have found most valuable for Alteryx is its geo-referencing feature, it is very good. I use it a lot, especially for supply chain."
"The hyperintelligence is the most valuable feature."
"Our primary use case is to deliver all data insights to our company."
"MicroStrategy's solution for mobile is very good."
"Provides us charts and graphs for reporting."
"It is definitely customizable. We have been able to put in key metrics and performance indicators, thus it is customizable."
"The simplicity of MicroStrategy is what I like the most."
"It is easy to use and visually very appealing. One thing that sets it apart is that it has got a great ETL tool. As compared to some of the other solutions, it is much easier to process data from other applications in MicroStrategy. That's why we prefer using it."
"It offers us a lot of out-of-the-box tools, which give us the ability to automate a lot of our administrative tasks. Some things become menial: user creation, restarting a server at 10 o'clock on a Friday - simple things that they really give you the tools to be able to do. That's one thing I really like about the MicroStrategy platform from an administrative perspective."
"If there is any way to make the learning curve less steep, that would be ideal."
"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."
"There have been some issues with licensing, particularly with the increased prices. This has led some companies, including ours, to consider reducing the number of licenses or potentially discontinuing their use of Alteryx."
"What they're struggling with is it's not as mature as Tableau in the user management area. It was tougher to manage the server part of it right away, especially since the user base has grown."
"I'd like it to be easier to work with PDF."
"The solution could improve in the visualization."
"I'd like to see more artificial intelligence business tools or features in 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."
"Data preparation-wise, it was not so straightforward with respect to getting different sources. Preparing or transforming the data inside and then bringing it onto the dashboard was a bit difficult, and the experience could have been better."
"The graphs available for the new dashboard of version 10 are weak."
"There is room for improvement on the graphs."
"MicroStrategy needs to do some more development to make the platform easier to use. It's a complicated platform that requires a lot of skill to effectively utilize. So they could work on reducing the complexity to make it more accessible for a broader community of people."
"One of the things that I want to see MicroStrategy do is become more cloud native. Right now, the deployment on cloud is very easy to ruin, it is very much like spinning up separate VMs."
"I did not see any additional value of providing one button for installation on the whole platform if it was going to be installed for different servers. You would have to make customization every time. There was no additional value in an installer."
"The online community page of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product is designed for enterprise. A lightweight version would be easier for a smaller workgroup."
