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."The solution offers excellent predicting power. The accuracy and confidence have been great."
"It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis."
"It has everything that one needs. Whatever you want to do with the data can be done with Alteryx."
"The product's Macros probably are one of the most useful aspects."
"Automation is the most valuable aspect for us. The ability to wrap business logic around the data is very helpful."
"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."
"Good data transformation."
"Alteryx is a low-code platform, and that's the biggest reason why we chose it."
"I have shown our users how to stop using Excel. They would create these vast Excel files, and I showed them how to do the same thing with MicroStrategy, which saves a significant amount of time for them everyday."
"I like the user interface and the experience has been great."
"I haven't come across any bugs."
"The most valuable features of MicroStrategy are user-friendliness and integration with the different data warehouse systems."
"The platform can be easily monitored. You have quite a good overview of tasks which are being run."
"Workstation and Desktop on the client side will speed up some development activities."
"The option to use various administrative tools, like Integrity Manager, is a valuable feature."
"It keeps BI in the hands of everyone, rather than a developer or an analyst."
"The solution can be made more affordable."
"They can provide some pre-built tools for predictive analytics instead of us having to build all the tools. It should also be improved from the visualization aspect. It should have better visualization capabilities. There are tools out there that have better visualization capabilities, which Alteryx is lacking currently."
"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."
"Its most valuable feature lies in its functionality."
"Alteryx could be improved in the area of analytics and central governance."
"The scalability worries me a lot at the moment because the cost of the solution is high and it is not growing considerably. Unfortunately, we started during early COVID times and because of the economic downturn, all the cost cuttings, and everything, it is not growing as expected."
"The learning curve is long, and there is lack of e-learning; the tool is not user-friendly to a non-technical user."
"It is a little bit pricey."
"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."
"The analytic speed would probably be what I would look for in terms of improvement because we have super huge data, and if I do not build views on top of data, then reports render really slowly."
"It crashes multiple times for even small changes that I make on the fly in the dashboard. After doing all the necessary changes, the MicroStrategy desktop or even the web version kicks the users out, and all the changes are lost. This functionality is buggy in MicroStrategy. It is hard to keep track of all the changes that I have done before. I don't want to make copies of each change that I have made because I would end up creating a hundred dashboards. It is not feasible in a real environment. I haven't worked on integrating MicroStrategy with the cloud. I am not sure how it behaves in the cloud, but I have heard from a few of my friends that there are some hiccups when you kind of sync to the cloud through MicroStrategy."
"We had some problems with customer service and support."
"Needs more visual essence and connectors for the ecosystems, which would be easy to use."
"There are a lot of offerings, and we are not fully using everything to its advantage."
"MicroStrategy should become more user friendly. It should behave more like Tableau."
"We have seen some stability issues with MicroStrategy on cloud. We have a few unhappy customers."
