We performed a comparison between Alteryx and Anaplan 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."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."
"Alteryx has a good UI. We use it frequently in our projects. The tool comes with drag-and-drop features and is easy to understand for business needs. One situation where Alteryx's advanced analytics capabilities were particularly beneficial for us was during a forecasting project. Unlike Python, which requires coding, Alteryx simplifies the process significantly. With Alteryx, users can adjust parameters within the user interface without writing any code."
"Alteryx is so advanced. It's just drag and drop."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"Data processing is most valuable. It is one of the fastest data blockers out there in the market, which is a fascinating thing about Alteryx."
"It is efficient in optimizing our ability to get information."
"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."
"Anaplan's strongest feature is that its GUI is very modern and user-friendly."
"It's real-time connected planning, so the calculations are pretty much seamless as far as your model is connected."
"Anaplan is a three-dimensional cloud platform that is good for analyzing data, visualization, integration, terrific for visibility."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is web-based and easy to use."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."
"Anaplan's most valuable features are that it's a no-coding platform, everything can be scaled to your other functions, and it's easy to learn and use (especially because Anaplan provides excellent interactive training)."
"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."
"It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."
"The technical support could have a little bit of improvement."
"We are hoping that the NLP features will also support Chinese characters."
"It's a technical product and those that don't have proper training will have to deal with a steep learning curve."
"The solution just lacks in terms of data visualization. That is why we use Tableau and Qlik in our organization. They help to pick up the slack. If data visualization was added, Alteryx would be a very good tool, and much more complete."
"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."
"Deep learning models are not currently supported."
"The integration technique should be a little bit easier."
"It would be nice if the solution offered better extensions."
"Automation needs to be built into this solution."
"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."
"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."
"One area of improvement is conditional formatting. It's not very practical, and you need to specify additional formatting."
"The visualization tools in the product are limited in comparison to other reporting tools."
"There are so many business rules to set up in the system that as a business user it's hard to gauge what they're doing and it's possible to get lost."
