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 value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."
"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."
"Alteryx effectively visualizes the flow of data and what happens at each stage. I also like that it's a no-code solution. I also like that you can troubleshoot certain parts of the workflow by putting them in a sandbox."
"Alteryx's connectivity is essential. We like the ability to connect the solution to multiple sources. It's easier than other data modeling and extraction solutions. It's built on a self-service concept, so it's easy for anyone to open the tool and directly import or export data from it."
"The drag-and-drop features are useful for data scientists who do not like to code because it is already in the system."
"The analytics are easy."
"The initial setup is quick and easy and you don't need special outside assistance to set everything up."
"We frequently utilize visualizations using maps and different objects, all with rich coloring options. And tooltips are absolutely essential for us. Tooltips, like the pop-up descriptions when you hover over some object or graph. Those tooltips in Tableau are great features."
"The most valuable feature is that we can integrate with our own database, and it will displays the KPIs. This is highly required from the business side."
"Tableau is very flexible and easy to learn. It has drag-and-drop function analytics, and its design is very good. It is a very good tool, and it basically brings life into data with good design. We have been creating a lot of interactive visualizations and dashboards. It has a public version. There are public communities from where you can get a lot of examples for practice."
"It is easy to adapt visualizers to have interactive conversations among decision-makers."
"The most valuable features are data discovery and fine visualizations."
"The best thing I like about Tableau is that you don't have to go for creating; it is calculated free."

"The solution is improving continuously. They have, for example, just added automatic insights. If they continue to improve on their overall service offering, that would be ideal."
"The only weakness I would say is on the visualization side of having that dynamic incapability."
"They should work on its pricing."
"The GUI interface functions but it could stand to be updated to a more modern look and feel."
"The only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"The solution could work on the BI side of the tool to make it a bit better."
"Alteryx can improve the model management and deployment processing of large workloads."
"In the cloud sometimes the performance is a little bit slow."
"Firstly, the high cost of Tableau licenses makes it inaccessible for many mid-scale clients. Secondly, the server requires at least 128GB of RAM, which can be impractical for some systems. We need a dedicated system to use Tableau."
"Its integration with Microsoft products such as Teams should be improved."
"Tableau has so many functions, so sometimes it's hard to find the right solution quickly. I have to search multiple menu bars to find the right command."
"Navigating through activities like cleansing, reshaping, and wrangling extensive or complicated datasets could prove challenging within the Tableau environment."
"To be the best in the market, Tableau has to improve its user interface and also look into developing implementing the best machine learning algorithms."
"The data processing in Tableau is pathetic compared to Qlik."
"The integration with other program languages, like Python, needs to be better."
