We performed a comparison between Alteryx and SAP Analytics Cloud 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 ease-of-use allows non-technical business users to directly create their own solutions without the use of additional development resources."
"I believe that the ability to leverage the gallery for scalability, as well as the general data blending functionality, is most beneficial to our core-based users."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"I like the fact that you can easily blend data from different platforms."
"It is efficient in optimizing our ability to get information."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its performance. It is a powerful solution."
"The support is very good."
"Alteryx is a simple and easy-to-use solution."
"The visualizations have been the most valuable feature."
"The features that I have found most valuable with SAP ERP products are their good user interface, stability, functionality, and good interface options."
"In the data warehouse, you're free to make changes. You can make everything text, meaning it's always a string. Even numbers appear as text, giving you the flexibility to work with all columns."
"It's many features make it the best in the market."
"It is a comprehensive BI solution that provides reporting, planning, and predictive analytics in one solution. You don't have to buy three different products. It is very flexible. It can be implemented very quickly. It has a lot of out-of-the-box scenarios that you can use for quick deployment."
"One feature I've found most valuable is discovery."
"I like the predictive features of SAP. It's easy to use tools for an end-user."
"The most valuable features are the analytical application and the user story."
"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"The solution just lacks in terms of data visualization. That is why we use Tableau and Qlik in our organization. They help to pick up the slack. If data visualization was added, Alteryx would be a very good tool, and much more complete."
"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 event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"The only weakness I would say is on the visualization side of having that dynamic incapability."
"There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search."
"The solution is improving continuously. They have, for example, just added automatic insights. If they continue to improve on their overall service offering, that would be ideal."
"Even when it already includes some AI models, this area could be improved."
"SAP Analytics Cloud should improve the dashboard."
"When it comes to planning there is a concern about the ability to match the exact requirements of the customer with what the product offers."
"Could be more user-friendly; somewhat complicated to use."
"Custom visuals is another area of improvement. There are also some mobile features that are missing. There are features that aren't available on the mobile."
"The integration with other vendors and solutions could be improved."
"I expect more integration from SAP Analytics Cloud."
"It still lacks a lot of functionalities as compared to other tools such as Power BI or Tableau. Sorting is not working as well as it works in Tableau. A lot of other things are also not at the same level. Their technical support is not perfect and could be better. It takes a lot of time to have lacking functionalities implemented. Its integration with the BW backend should be better. Both solutions are from the same vendor. They position SAP Analytics Cloud as a reporting tool on top of the BW environment, but the integration between both is not yet 100%. For example, user management is still not synchronized."
"SAC, which is the cloud version, lost some good features from the previous planning product, like BPC or BPS."
