Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, SAP, RapidMiner and others in Predictive Analytics."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 three data signs and data engineering are great features."
"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"Good data transformation."

"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"The most solution's notable aspect, in my view, is the ability to integrate various data sources and harness advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. This helps with quality assurance processes."
"Data handling is one of the best features of SAS Visual Analytics."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"Visual Analytics is very easy to use. I use Visual Analytics for all the typical use cases except text mining. I used it to analyze data and monitor statistics, not text mining. I also use it for data visualization as well as creating interactive dashboards and infographics."
"It's a stable, reliable product."
"Quick deployment to dashboards and analytics features (using SAS Visual Statistics and Enterprise Guide). Easy to create a simple forecast and discover business insights using segmentation tools."
"Configuration is very low."

"A bit more flexibility in the temperatization will be helpful."
"The deployment isn't smooth. Deploying Visual Analytics on the cloud takes a lot of work, or you can use some providers that give you SAS as a service.

You can buy the license and deploy it there without the hassle of installation because deploying the software isn't easy."
"Colours used on report objects"
"It is not as mature as competitors such as Tableau and QlikView."
