We performed a comparison between Alteryx and SAS Enterprise Guide based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Preparation Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."You get more support with Alteryx, and it's good for non-sophisticated users who can benefit from the support included in the price."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data preparation."
"I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use."
"The tools are built-in. You just plug and play, drag and drop, once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"Geo features have made spatial mapping large retail universes possible."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its stand-alone version that we do not have to download dependencies for loads. Additionally, the scan is useful for beginners."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"The product's Macros probably are one of the most useful aspects."
"We are able to work on the server, and I can copy a data set and share it with someone in my team. Similarly, if I want some data from them, I can get it. Being able to work on the server and being able to switch from one user to another is a good thing. It is reliable and powerful, and its community is very wide."
"SAS EG offers many excellent features, such as parallel execution on the same server, controlling output datasets in the process flow, and conditional processing."
"An excellent tool for data manipulation and analysis."
"Takes advantage of our Enterprise SAS Grid."
"This solution allows for simplified working with large datasets."
"Areas where SAS EG does a better job than regular SAS are in the realm of importing and exporting data. For instance, exporting a SAS data set in Unix to an Excel spreadsheet on a PC is a simple task compared to doing the same task with Base SAS."
"It streamlines our workflow involving multiple steps, from data extraction to modeling, and it is aimed at improving various aspects of banking operations, including customer retention and risk management."
"It has definitely improved our communication with senior management."
"The technical support could have a little bit of improvement."
"The solution could improve in the visualization."
"The principal problem is the pricing. They're expensive products."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"Sometimes, there are performance constraints. Especially when a large file has to be ingested, the system slows down a bit. Its performance is the only thing that can be improved."
"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."
"It would be great if Alteryx could take third party tools and incorporate them."
"I would like to see better Charting in this solution."
"The stability is not very reliable."
"I would like to see integration with schedulers when run from hosting environments such as Citrix."
"It is expensive."
"Machine learning is not utilized and that could enhance the product."
"Recently, we realized that SAS Enterprise Guide is not so stable and gives us some outputs which are not suitable...Sometimes it's quite hard to report its stability issues."
"I would like it to give more information rather than just a forever loop that forces you to shut down the system. Give you more error messages without stopping the entire project, or even the entire application. That it displays more error messages rather than terminating the application."
"The technical support response time has been consistently slow, and this has been a concern."
