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."Alteryx helps me do a lot of automation. The best thing about Alteryx is that you don't have to repeat the workflow over and over again. Unlike Excel, where you need to write formulas for each new file, Alteryx follows a consistent process. You can schedule and automate the workflow, even if the files change."
"The solution has been stable."
"The tools are built-in. You just plug and play, drag and drop, once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"The ease-of-use allows non-technical business users to directly create their own solutions without the use of additional development resources."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"Alteryx makes it easy for the end customer to see clean data in a structured form."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. It's highly scalable and can handle significant data volumes."
"The most valuable feature is building ad hoc reports."
"It stands out for its ability to work across different platforms, support mainframe data, offer cloud integration, automate report scheduling, and provide a robust scripting language."
"The solution can read and write 500 different types of outputs."
"It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx."
"I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved."
"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"I mostly used it for flat files, but I have many colleagues who reported that to tune a query, in case they want to directly connect to the database, there is no option to optimize the performance of the query, as we have in Informatica."
"There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search."
"There have been some issues with licensing, particularly with the increased prices. This has led some companies, including ours, to consider reducing the number of licenses or potentially discontinuing their use of Alteryx."
"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability."
"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."
"If there were to be any improvements right now, their documentation needs to get in sync with their product."
"When it comes to customer support, we don't always reach the right person. Sometimes, we get junior-level reps who aren't as knowledgeable as we are."
"The solution can be improved by adding more automated options for reporting."
"The challenge lies not in what the tool can do but in how you use it and understand the data."
