We performed a comparison between Alteryx and Oracle OBIEE 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."The tools are built-in. You just plug and play, drag and drop, once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"Geo features have made spatial mapping large retail universes possible."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily."
"It's super easy to learn how to use it — the learning curve is very small."
"The scheduling within the solution is excellent."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"The solution has been stable."
"It's the connectors, the adapters. Built in connectors with different ERPs, you can plug in XL, other sources of data. It's very easy to configure. It's very easy to use."
"It doesn't have many frills and is definitely older technology, but it is undeniably a workhorse."
"I have found the most valuable features are business intelligence and reporting."
"For me, it makes the difference is in terms of our users being able to take advantage of a product which allows you to get access to data, reports, make decisions quickly, and have better insights regarding operations."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"I like the architecture of this solution. RPV is a powerful feature in Oracle OBIEE. It lets us design as per the needs of the organization. I can have multiple presentation folders and presentation layers. I can have customization in a single node in VMware, which is a very good feature of Oracle OBIEE. It helps customers in designing as per their requirements."
"The visualization is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle OBIEE is it's designed for Oracle. It works well in the Oracle environment and can sit on top of any application."
"It should have Linux support. It currently supports only Windows. It does not support any other platform. Its price should also be lower. Their US partner management program is actually unresponsive. One of the reasons why we don't have a formalized partnership plan with them is because their partner management team is atrociously unresponsive. This is something that they need to change."
"It is a little bit pricey."
"It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."
"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."
"Alteryx can improve in data science. They have to have more features and components in the data science aspect because they claim to be a data science tool. However, in order to be more competitive, they have to improve on their data science propositions. Thre are other solutions on the market, such as other players in the market, Data2Go or DataIQ, and Alteryx needs to catch up."
"We are hoping that the NLP features will also support Chinese characters."
"Alteryx could be improved in the area of analytics and central governance."
"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"One feature I would definitely like to see is the ability to provide the in-memory data. Oracle might have some plugins but, as of now, that feature isn't available out-of-the-box. You might have to purchase that feature."
"OBIEE doesn't have audit logs."
"Oracle OBIEE can improve the ease of use. It is a lot to learn and it could be made easier."
"They should develop greater visualization because their visualization isn't industry leading at the moment. The way you pull the data and see the data compared to other platforms, they're lagging a little bit behind. Also, their cost. I've got Oracle account managers trying to persuade me every day to purchase these licenses. Once you purchase OBIEE, then you have to purchase the virtualization and then you have to purchase the mobile license to operate on the mobile. It's really expensive."
"Retail, Finance, Wholesale"
"In the on-premises version, the feature for connecting and selecting the data between the databases looks a bit cumbersome, but I am not sure. The person who is using it takes a lot of time to design a data warehouse. When I ask him why is it taking this long, I get a response that this is something that he has to design, and there are different tools that are available. He has to write the ETL and design the warehouse according to the customer's requirement, which takes a lot of time. Its visualization should be enhanced, and there should be a feature where you can easily create your custom data warehouse."
"It takes a lot of maintenance to support the architecture, which is something that should be improved."
"The performance and the complex setup are the main reason for switching to Qlik Sense."
