Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, SAP, RapidMiner and others in Predictive Analytics."One-stop shop for data preparation, blending, prediction, and optimization in a single workflow."
"I like the fact that you can easily blend data from different platforms."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"There are a lot of good customization capabilities."
"The solution offers excellent predicting power. The accuracy and confidence have been great."
"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."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"The ability to do ad hoc explorations of data has been most valuable."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"The scalability is good."
"ThoughtSpot takes the modifying of existing reports out of our hands."
"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."
"It's easy to drill down or expand data to get more details right out of the box."
"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."
"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx."
"The next feature release should include easier reporting."
"The interface could be improved."
"The scalability worries me a lot at the moment because the cost of the solution is high and it is not growing considerably. Unfortunately, we started during early COVID times and because of the economic downturn, all the cost cuttings, and everything, it is not growing as expected."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"It is a little bit pricey."
"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 most difficult thing I found is that it only deals with the files and does not have direct connectivity to databases."
"The one area of the solution that I do hear needs improvement is on the visualization front."
"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."
"If I want to order columns, this feature is not there."
"A customized visualization is lacking in this product."
"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."
"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."
