We performed a comparison between Alteryx and SAP Analytics Cloud 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."Automation is the most valuable aspect for us. The ability to wrap business logic around the data is very helpful."
"I like the fact that you can easily blend data from different platforms."
"Geo features have made spatial mapping large retail universes possible."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is the intelligence suite."
"Alteryx has helped us spend more time identifying results instead of performing analysis manually. It has helped us in our loading process, including scrubbing data and identifying data elements that need to be corrected. It enables us to understand our data sets a lot better."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its unlimited handling capabilities."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"There is a seamless integration with SAP S4HANA which is really valuable to our organization and its functions. Since the data is stored in the same ecosystem, it creates a simple process of building dashboards, without making the process cumbersome The Analytics Cloud provides standardized templates and storage options, making it easy to plug into existing structures. We're utilizing custom stories that have already been developed, streamlining the development process. It serves as a convenient starting point and contributes to the overall ease of development. Another advantage is that it doesn't provide the same level of calculation power as Power BI and Tableau. SAP Analytics Cloud emphasizes pushing analytics back into the database, recommending data manipulation and preparation outside of the platform. This approach is seen as an advantage, as it allows for more robust data handling."
"I like the connectivity the solution provides with other products."
"One feature I've found most valuable is discovery."
"The most valuable features are the visualization and user-friendliness."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. We haven't tried all of the features yet. The graphing and the ease of using the analytics tools have been great. It's all drag and drop; you don't need to code anything."
"The new Application Design option offers lots of customization options by being able to script in Typescript (similar to Javascript)."
"The solution is quite effective for collaborative planning."
"The most useful feature of SAP Analytics Cloud is planning because it helps users with making predictions and forecasts. Clients can forecast, make data allocations, and other actions. The solution is useful for planning."
"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."
"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved."
"There are no ready models to use in analytics."
"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's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."
"The only weakness I would say is on the visualization side of having that dynamic incapability."
"SAP Analytics Cloud requires a lot of coding and I would like the coding to be somewhat minimal."
"SAP could add some more visualization features to Analytics Cloud, like charts and analytics. I would also like to see some more data cleaning and ad hoc functions added to this solution."
"SAP has always had one problem with its products, they make them very closed systems that are difficult to integrate."
"However, there are areas of improvement, particularly in terms of visualization. The front-end interface of SAP Analytics Cloud is not as impressive as Tableau and Power BI. The charts in other solutions have a more visually appealing and customizable look, while in SAP Analytics Cloud, there's a lack of alignment between numbers and charts. This graphical aspect, especially concerning charts, is not as satisfactory in SAP Analytics Cloud compared to its counterparts."
"SAP Analytics cloud needs better exporting options."
"I think it would be easier if there was another module created to retrieve only data."
"SAP Analytics Cloud should improve the dashboard."
"The integration with other vendors and solutions could be improved."
