Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, RapidMiner, SAP and others in Predictive Analytics."The GUI is simple and it integrates with Python."
"The solution has a very strong community that is involved in the product. It helps make the usage easier and helps us find answers to our questions."
"It has everything that one needs. Whatever you want to do with the data can be done with Alteryx."
"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."
"The solution has been stable."
"The three data signs and data engineering are great features."
"It allows for manipulation and automation, which has greatly reduced the amount of time required per project."
"Data processing is most valuable. It is one of the fastest data blockers out there in the market, which is a fascinating thing about Alteryx."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"The ability to do ad hoc explorations of data has been most valuable."
"The scalability is good."
"It's easy to drill down or expand data to get more details right out of the box."
"I would say the return on investment is good. Whatever we invested, we got results. We have been finding it easy to use and onboard new use cases."
"I like ThoughtSpot's search capabilities. You can also create custom analytics even if you aren't an experienced data analyst. We have users with no data analytics experience making some of the dashboards we've created, copying components, and customizing them to their specific use cases."
"ThoughtSpot takes the modifying of existing reports out of our hands."
"It should have Linux support. It currently supports only Windows. It does not support any other platform. Its price should also be lower. Their US partner management program is actually unresponsive. One of the reasons why we don't have a formalized partnership plan with them is because their partner management team is atrociously unresponsive. This is something that they need to change."
"The technical support could have a little bit of improvement."
"The interface could be improved."
"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"We can't browse multiple files. When we deploy a solution on a gallery, let's say I have ten different files, and I have to upload them all at once. This is something that's difficult in the gallery. So case by case, I see some downsides, but often we do something alternative."
"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."
"The only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"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."
"If I want to order columns, this feature is not there."
"ThoughtSpot is a fairly new product, so some usability aspects aren't as mature as we'd like them to be. One example is their organizational methodology, like how objects are organized in their dashboards inside the product. They're all on a flat list, which works if you've got five or 10 dashboards. However, it's insufficient when you're a large enterprise with multiple groups looking at the same dashboards. It isn't organized well."
"I would like to see more flexibility in adding the pins. Currently, we have four different sizes in which I can add pins, but I would like to be able to resize my pins."
"In terms of features, I'd like to be able to pivot data - for example, going from rows to columns. It's not easy to do."
"The dashboards could give you more ability to fine tune the appearance. You get a great deal more control over how something looks in Power BI than you do in ThoughtSpot."
"The most difficult thing I found is that it only deals with the files and does not have direct connectivity to databases."
"A customized visualization is lacking in this product."
"The one area of the solution that I do hear needs improvement is on the visualization front."
