Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, RapidMiner, SAP and others in Predictive Analytics."The modeling features are very good."
"It saves time on a lot projects. "
"It is one of the most complete and great customer service that I experienced with a software company/ecosystem."
"The solution has excellent drag and drop functionality. There's no need for coding."
"Automation is the most valuable aspect for us. The ability to wrap business logic around the data is very helpful."
"Alteryx is so advanced. It's just drag and drop."
"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 a simple and easy-to-use solution."
"It's easy to drill down or expand data to get more details right out of the box."
"ThoughtSpot takes the modifying of existing reports out of our hands."
"The ability to do ad hoc explorations of data has been most valuable."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"I would say the return on investment is good. Whatever we invested, we got results. We have been finding it easy to use and onboard new use cases."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"I like ThoughtSpot's search capabilities. You can also create custom analytics even if you aren't an experienced data analyst. We have users with no data analytics experience making some of the dashboards we've created, copying components, and customizing them to their specific use cases."
"The scalability is good."
"The formula we currently use in Alteryx can be automated."
"The technical support could have a little bit of improvement."
"There's a big jump in terms of pricing between license tiers. I'm not sure I understand why the price jumps are so high."
"It's a technical product and those that don't have proper training will have to deal with a steep learning curve."
"We can't browse multiple files. When we deploy a solution on a gallery, let's say I have ten different files, and I have to upload them all at once. This is something that's difficult in the gallery. So case by case, I see some downsides, but often we do something alternative."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"Configuration is very low."
"I would like to see more flexibility in adding the pins. Currently, we have four different sizes in which I can add pins, but I would like to be able to resize my pins."
"A customized visualization is lacking in this product."
"In terms of features, I'd like to be able to pivot data - for example, going from rows to columns. It's not easy to do."
"If I want to order columns, this feature is not there."
"The dashboards could give you more ability to fine tune the appearance. You get a great deal more control over how something looks in Power BI than you do in ThoughtSpot."
"The one area of the solution that I do hear needs improvement is on the visualization front."
"The most difficult thing I found is that it only deals with the files and does not have direct connectivity to databases."
"ThoughtSpot is a fairly new product, so some usability aspects aren't as mature as we'd like them to be. One example is their organizational methodology, like how objects are organized in their dashboards inside the product. They're all on a flat list, which works if you've got five or 10 dashboards. However, it's insufficient when you're a large enterprise with multiple groups looking at the same dashboards. It isn't organized well."
