"Alteryx is just as complicated as coding, in my opinion."

"Configuration is very low."
"The interface could be improved."
"The solution can be made more affordable."
"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability."
"From a commercial standpoint, more options should be available for pricing. The licensing model needs to be specific."
"The cost of this product, so every company is not suitable to use it. Because of the very huge amount of integrations, every organization can not use it."
"We're an Epic shop, and Epic is moving away from Crystal. It would be nice if it had tighter integration with products like Epic. It would be awesome to have better integration with third-party products."
"There is still a lot to be done on the mobile side to make Web Intelligence truly seamless between the desktop and mobile versions and I would like to see SAP pay a lot more attention to this."

All the reporting features of Web Intelligence should be developed within Lumira. A lot of predictive abilities have been brought into the cloud version of SAP Analytics. It would be nice to see a lot of newer technologies and AI. Predictive capabilities are becoming a little more standard. Instead of having to get another model, we are just looking for one solution to deal with analytics including predictive."

"The platform should be a bit more user-friendly."
