We performed a comparison between Alteryx and SAS Visual Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, RapidMiner, SAP and others in Predictive Analytics."The data transformation feature is the most valuable. The ability to ingest data, visualize data, and transform that data is useful."
"The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily."
"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 effectively visualizes the flow of data and what happens at each stage. I also like that it's a no-code solution. I also like that you can troubleshoot certain parts of the workflow by putting them in a sandbox."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"The three data signs and data engineering are great features."
"The most valuable feature is user-friendliness, as Alteryx can be used by those without any coding experience or experienced data scientists as it has the functionality to embed R and Python scripts."
"Predictive models, which are easy to use, and help a lot with fast design and deployment."
"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."
"The technical support services are good."
"I use Visual Analytics for enterprise reporting."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."
"The product is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"Deep learning models are not currently supported."
"The solution is improving continuously. They have, for example, just added automatic insights. If they continue to improve on their overall service offering, that would be ideal."
"Alteryx is just as complicated as coding, in my opinion."
"Configuration is very low."
"I'd like it to be easier to work with PDF."
"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"I think sometimes the solution doesn't load properly or takes so much time for the workflows. Though the workflow runs and completes the file in Excel, if you use the same formula, it's a bit slow. Also, the image processing is not so good because I tried to do some image processing and they were like, sometimes they put two to eight. In the document, it was two, but the OCR predicted it as eight."
"The gallery could improve in Alteryx. Additionally, if there was a Conditional Join feature it would be beneficial. Since I do not have this feature I have to use Python scripts."
"There are scalability issues. It depends on the data volume and number of end-users. VA requires a lot of hardware resources to move volumes of data."
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"A bit more flexibility in the temperatization will be helpful."
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
"The charts and tables could use better sorting, primarily using other variables than the ones on the figure. If they could implement views like in the older version (previous to Viya), it would be very nice."
"The visualization should be better in SAS Visual Analytics. It is easy to use but when compared to other solutions it is lacking and the support is not very good."
"The installation process can be a bit complex."
