We performed a comparison between Alteryx and Tableau 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."The tools are built-in. You just plug and play, drag and drop, once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."
"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."
"Shortens the time required to start analyzing data and looking for insights, minimizing the tasks that do not add value to the business and maximizing the analysis phase."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"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."
"It allows for manipulation and automation, which has greatly reduced the amount of time required per project."
"The three data signs and data engineering are great features."
"When compared with Power BI, Tableau is much easier."
"Easy for beginners to use"
"I work for clients. That is my business model. Business people really like to see Tableau. They love Tableau because it is very user-friendly. The platform provides an easy to use interface, which is what most people like about it."
"It's very easy to set everything up."
"Since Tableau is on the cloud, we haven't faced any challenges around scalability."
"The maps and colors and interface are all fantastic."
"I like the visualization component."
"Tableau's most valuable feature is its ability to connect with various data sources and display real-time data on three different dashboards."
"What they're struggling with is it's not as mature as Tableau in the user management area. It was tougher to manage the server part of it right away, especially since the user base has grown."
"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"A feature which allows the user to be able to click on an output (in a file browser) and see the creation of the module would be fantastic."
"It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx."
"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."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"It is a little bit pricey."
"I'd like it to be easier to work with PDF."
"Tableau is difficult to scale because of the cost, which makes it difficult to scale."
"The user experience for less savvy or non-technical people (from my experience)."
"Many things have to be improved in Tableau. Right now, we make the calculation, and then we get that information. It would be better if business users could do that. I would ask the people at Tableau to provide that option to business users to get that information in one click. It would be better if they automated some calculations. There should be more automation in Tableau. However, there are many things in automation mode, but it is very limited at the moment. We need automation for people who do not know much about Tableau. It would also be better if there were good community support like in Alteryx."
"With performance tuning, it generates a pretty complex query when it is not required."
"An area needing improvement involves the complexity of the product should you need to alter a lot of parameters. If you have technical servers, much interface, different providers and more serious processes, that will be time consuming."
"It's not an aesthetic platform at the moment."
"It is not so great when it comes to data exchange/integration, data mining, etc."
"Reports should be downloadable as PDF files."
