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 solution offers excellent predicting power. The accuracy and confidence have been great."
"The analytics are easy."
"The tools are built-in. You just plug and play, drag and drop, once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"It allows for manipulation and automation, which has greatly reduced the amount of time required per project."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"It is one of the most complete and great customer service that I experienced with a software company/ecosystem."
"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."
"It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis."
"Other people can access data much more easily than before. Its usability is the main advantage, people in the company are using it."
"The capability to add custom visuals and create Power BI apps. You can package datasets, synchronization details, and dashboards into a single app."
"The ease of integration and connectivity stands out as the most critical aspect, followed closely by the flexibility to customize reports and dashboards."
"The most valuable features are the easy creation of reports, dashboards, and the ability to perform analysis. It is important for us to create reports because we have some operations during certain hours and we can use this tool to track the information."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"Constant collaboration is the most valuable. I can build a dashboard, and several co-workers can access this dashboard. We can share information that is important for decision-making. It is a very easy-to-deploy solution. It is compatible with a lot of data sources. It is also very stable and scalable. There is also a very good forum and a lot of help and online training."
"It is useful for bringing visualization to data. It calculates counts, ratios, etc."
"The solution integrates with other Microsoft solutions very well."
"The event handling, such that the file system watcher, is in need of improvement."
"I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved."
"A colleague of mind mentioned that the solution should have more options for the visualization of data."
"There is currently no cloud solution and this would be valuable for many clients."
"The formula we currently use in Alteryx can be automated."
"The next feature release should include easier reporting."
"I'd like it to be easier to work with PDF."
"It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."
"The way you navigate the product, compared to other products in this industry, that could be improved a bit."
"From an improvement perspective, I think if the Power BI developers of that platform would really focus on being more detailed and specific on the error messages, it would help a lot of developers troubleshoot and maintain the report ECT or the dashboard ECT."
"My main complaint is that the error messages need to be made more clear. Currently, they are either too generic or outright misleading, and finding the real problem is like searching for a needle in a haystack."
"The licensing needs improvement. There needs to be a middle option between Pro and Premium versions."
"It's not user-friendly; more tutorials, training, and better documentation would be helpful."
"Automation could be improved and performance enhanced."
"From a scalability and performance perspective and based on my understanding and feedback from end users, there's room for improvement in data processing, scaling up, and leveraging the cloud. That could be an enhancement area for me to look into."
"The upgrade process could be improved."
