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 is so advanced. It's just drag and drop."
"It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis."
"The tools are built-in. You just plug and play, drag and drop, once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"Alteryx is a low-code platform, and that's the biggest reason why we chose it."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"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."
"MicroStrategy's best feature is that it is a user-friendly tool."
"MicroStrategy has powerful data security features, which are crucial these days. For example, when users view data in MicroStrategy, they're only allowed to see a portion based on the permissions. When we evaluated other solutions like Power BI or Tableau, we found the security is very poor. They can't help us secure access to the data."
"The convenience of it. Having it on the mobile, so someone has it right there in their pocket most of the time."
"I find MicroStrategy the most suited to the enterprise-wide BI platform, because of its scalability and stability."
"It's useful if you need to create dashboards that you check every day. Also, we can create a queue, but it will be updated every day with scheduled updates."
"We leverage it, not only for reporting but for analytics and also for geospatial reporting."
"Dependency on development teams, as well as managing the platform, has reduced a lot with Visual Insight."
"Now we can collaborate, in real time. In the past we had to wait for our business partners say if a visualization looked good or sufficed for their requirements. There was no real-time decision making. Now, with Dossier, it will accelerate the velocity of decision making."
"I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved."
"In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI."
"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx."
"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."
"A colleague of mind mentioned that the solution should have more options for the visualization of data."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability."
"There needs to be better visualization."
"Native VI on mobile apps and better android support are lacking."
"It would be good if it had greater analytics so we could build these visualizations by ourselves with scripts."
"You can now do data blending at the document level and data blending allows you to show results from different data sets in one grid, so to speak. I want to be able to create a data set that can receive data from multiple cubes, have it in one data set, and then bring it to the document, because then I can reuse it for other documents. Now, I have to do it in a document and then it's less reusable, because if I want to share that functionality, I have to copy the document, strip a lot of things, and then work on that basic element that I've built in that document."
"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."
"Our data warehouse is sort of static; negative load and that is it. It is not as real-time as we would like. We are working on building that out first to create more real-time, at which point we will work on some potential integrations with other applications, but I don't think we are there yet."
"We would like access to more storage and access to more metadata to build the right programs that can construct all the stuff for us instead of us having to type it in all the time."
"I would like to see more integration."
