We performed a comparison between Alteryx and Microsoft Power BI 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."It saves time on a lot projects. "
"The feature that I have found most valuable for Alteryx is its geo-referencing feature, it is very good. I use it a lot, especially for supply chain."
"The three data signs and data engineering are great features."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data preparation."
"It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis."
"The GUI is simple and it integrates with Python."
"Predictive models, which are easy to use, and help a lot with fast design and deployment."
"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."
"It's quite flexible, and it's easy to create reports using this system. It is very graphic and very user friendly."
"The initial setup is relatively simple."
"Its ease of use is most valuable."
"We have a lot of servers and applications from which we want reports, and it allows us to create reports from an SQL source or some other source."
"Allows business users with a mission to solve their own problems, without an IT person."
"We find the solution offers good stability."
"You don't need much support with Microsoft Power BI because it has such a large base of users who can answer your questions on their forums. There are also many video tutorials and webinars available online that offer solutions to whatever problems you may have."
"The solution has a good toggling feature."
"It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx."
"It would be nice if they can provide Alteryx with more options for In-DB connectivity. That functionality is there, but it doesn't include all software we are connecting."
"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."
"Mastering Alteryx, a comprehensive solution, takes time. However, once you have gained proficiency with its layout and how to drag, drop, and connect components, it becomes remarkably easy, yet still thorough."
"The solution could improve in the visualization."
"There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients."
"I'd like it to be easier to work with PDF."
"The only weakness I would say is on the visualization side of having that dynamic incapability."
"It could have more of a hold on big data. Manipulating big data on this solution complicates things. This needs to be improved."
"Their technical support can be better. They normally take too long to escalate and resolve a case."
"The orchestration module for refreshing data flows is something that is missing and we have to do it manually."
"SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is not user friendly."
"The reporting could be a bit better."
"Microsoft BI can improve some of the visual level filters or visual functionality, that are available in other BI tools, such as Tableau or Qlik Sense."
"The dashboard could be simplified."
"Microsoft has got a very large repository of all change suggestions which have been raised by the BI community. They keep on adding features that are very widely sought after by the community. We don't focus on product features. We focus on business requirements. To use the solution, we find that existing features are good enough and offer us a very effective solution."
