Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, RapidMiner, SAP and others in Predictive Analytics."I think the most valuable feature for Alteryx in a health facility is that it permits cleaning, organizing, and merging of databases such as Excel and Access."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its unlimited handling capabilities."
"The drag-and-drop features are useful for data scientists who do not like to code because it is already in the system."
"I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."
"The philosophy of the citizen data scientist is the key piece, which means the no-code analytics capability. This is the feature that attracted us the most."
"The most valuable feature is user-friendliness, as Alteryx can be used by those without any coding experience or experienced data scientists as it has the functionality to embed R and Python scripts."
"Good data transformation."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data preparation."
"All the different platforms are well integrated."
"IBM Planning Analytics is easy to use and deploy. It is quick to develop. The calculation machine is also very fast."
"Navigating through the data to make analysis is really quick."
"The product's stability is good."
"The ease of use is valuable. The fact that it's plugged into Excel spreadsheets is also valuable. It provides additional functionality where you can slice and dice the information in a way that you can't do with spreadsheets"
"The tool is flexible."
"The most valuable feature is that it is able to slice and dice the data."
"A lot of the platform is in-memory, so Planning Analytics can run calculations quite fast. It also offers several user interfaces. And in the newest version of Planning Analytics, there is a new one called the Planning Analytics Workspace. Maybe it could be useful for the business side."
"Configuration is very low."
"The solution could work on the BI side of the tool to make it a bit better."
"The technical support could have a little bit of improvement."
"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."
"The gallery could improve in Alteryx. Additionally, if there was a Conditional Join feature it would be beneficial. Since I do not have this feature I have to use Python scripts."
"The workflow and pipeline need to improve."
"I'd like to see more artificial intelligence business tools or features in Alteryx."
"It's a technical product and those that don't have proper training will have to deal with a steep learning curve."
"It would have been better if the solution was not just a tool kit."
"The dashboard is very poor and needs a lot of improvement."
"It's wonky, and not super user-friendly with Excel."
"The new frontend Planning Analytics Workspace is not very good, it could be improved. I like the Planning Analytics functionality but it would be helpful if it could be more customizable. You can create a prediction and receive information but you cannot do feature engineering regarding the predictive models. If this was added it would be helpful."
"Extracting data is a little slow."
"It is a bit expensive, but it does the job."
"Planning Analytics could be improved by adding automation features."
"It's highly competitive right now, and all the vendors are in a race to put out new versions with additional features. IBM comes out with new versions too often, and it has an impact on quality."
