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."Technical support is very helpful."
"Alteryx is a low-code platform, and that's the biggest reason why we chose it."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its stand-alone version that we do not have to download dependencies for loads. Additionally, the scan is useful for beginners."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"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 speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"The support is very good."
"The drag-and-drop functionality, the ready-to-use analytics module, and the ability to track my data pipelines visually are the solution's most valuable features."
"Planning and integration are the most valuable features. It is useful for planning, and it is useful for integrating with on-prem or cloud SAP solutions."
"The most valuable features are the analytical application and the user story."
"Real-time data makes for a single version of the truth."
"The solution is quite effective for collaborative planning."
"It's many features make it the best in the market."
"What my customers like best about SAP Analytics Cloud is the dashboard because it's pretty good."
"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 SKU, the story build all are user- friendly. For the story build one just has to drag and drop it. And for the table, you just need some sort of selections and everything there."
"Deep learning models are not currently supported."
"They should work on its pricing."
"I think better visualization would be helpful to this solution."
"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."
"Alteryx can improve the model management and deployment processing of large workloads."
"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability."
"I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved."
"Alteryx is just as complicated as coding, in my opinion."
"The price, integration, and modeling capabilities could be better. I have to use an integration engine to integrate our products and databases. SAP Analytics Cloud is made specifically for KPIs and business intelligence. The modeling capabilities are kind of poor. You always have to model the data and then present it visually in SAP Analytics Cloud. In the next release, I would like to have a lite version for planning to create scenarios quickly. For me personally, planning is the most complicated feature of SAP Analytics Cloud."
"An area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud is its planning feature because it's not that efficient when compared to BPC. Another area for improvement in the solution is the difficulty in building reports or dashboards, particularly if you don't have proper knowledge of the BI system. SAP Analytics Cloud technical support also needs improvement."
"I would also like to have more advanced features for predictive analytics."
"What should be improved in SAP Analytics Cloud is the speed of importing information and data, e.g. from SAP S/4HANA. Gathering the data from the main database takes a bit of time."
"I expect more integration from SAP Analytics Cloud."
"The integration with other vendors and solutions could be improved."
"They need more support for more languages, Python for example."
"Could have more tabular reporting capabilities."
