We performed a comparison between Alteryx and SAS Enterprise Miner based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Science Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Alteryx's connectivity is essential. We like the ability to connect the solution to multiple sources. It's easier than other data modeling and extraction solutions. It's built on a self-service concept, so it's easy for anyone to open the tool and directly import or export data from it."
"Alteryx has helped us spend more time identifying results instead of performing analysis manually. It has helped us in our loading process, including scrubbing data and identifying data elements that need to be corrected. It enables us to understand our data sets a lot better."
"Alteryx has made us more agile and increased the speed and effectiveness of decision making."
"It allows for manipulation and automation, which has greatly reduced the amount of time required per project."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"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 connectors are a very good feature."
"One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"The technical support is very good."
"The setup is straightforward. Deployment doesn't take more than 30 minutes."
"The most valuable feature is the decision tree creation."
"Good data management and analytics."
"I found the ease of use of the solution the most valuable. Additionally, other valuable features include: the user interface, power to extract data, compatibility with other technologies (specifically with PS400), and automation of several tasks."
"he solution is scalable."
"The solution is very good for data mining or any mining issues."
"Most of the features, especially on the data analysis tool pack, are really good. The way they do clustering and output is great. You can do fairly elaborate outputs. The results, the ensembles, all of these, are fantastic."
"From a commercial standpoint, more options should be available for pricing. The licensing model needs to be specific."
"The solution can be made more affordable."
"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."
"It would be great if Alteryx could take third party tools and incorporate them."
"A colleague of mind mentioned that the solution should have more options for the visualization of data."
"There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"Deep learning models are not currently supported."
"Virtualization could be much better."
"The solution is very stable, but we do have some problems with discrepancies involving SAS not matching with the latest Java versions. It's not stable in cases where SAS tries to run on a different version because SAS doesn't connect with the latest Java update. Once a month we need to restart systems from scratch."
"The solution needs an easier interface for the user. The user experience isn't so easy for our clients."
"The solution is much more complex than other options."
"The initial setup is challenging if doing it for the first time."
"The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies."
"The ease of use can be improved. When you are new it seems a bit complex."
"Technical support could be improved."
