We performed a comparison between Alteryx and Oracle OBIEE 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 product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"Alteryx has made us more agile and increased the speed and effectiveness of decision making."
"It is one of the most complete and great customer service that I experienced with a software company/ecosystem."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its performance. It is a powerful solution."
"The modeling features are very good."
"It allows for manipulation and automation, which has greatly reduced the amount of time required per project."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"There are a lot of good customization capabilities."
"It's the connectors, the adapters. Built in connectors with different ERPs, you can plug in XL, other sources of data. It's very easy to configure. It's very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the visualization."
"Dashboards provide us with various views and perspectives on our data, allowing us to analyze metrics such as revenue, occupancy rates, etc."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to run it in Exalytics within memory coupled to a Repository on Exadata is where it flies. So it's not meant for mom and pop shops, but if you are a global 500 fortune 1000 company, this is a tool that can get you what you need on time and even in real time."
"In terms of features, everything is good. It is also stable and scalable."
"Easy to create ad hoc reporting for different solutions."
"Can utilize SQL queries to generate reports directly."
"It can be used with any type of data models, such as relational lines and dimensional lines."
"The next feature release should include easier reporting."
"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."
"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 principal problem is the pricing. They're expensive products."
"I think better visualization would be helpful to this solution."
"The only weakness I would say is on the visualization side of having that dynamic incapability."
"They should work on its pricing."
"Alteryx could be improved in the area of analytics and central governance."
"The documentation in Oracle OBIEE can be more user-friendly."
"When a large number of queries are running at the same time, the report fails."
"It takes a lot of maintenance to support the architecture, which is something that should be improved."
"Retail, Finance, Wholesale"
"The main problem we face is migrating all of the reports into the solution."
"The graphical capabilities could be better. They are also cumbersome, and they are limited compared to Tableau, Power BI, or even Business Objects to a certain extent and Cognos. The error logging isn't great either. The errors that come out when you schedule aren't easy to understand. I find how they filter within a query quite cumbersome and difficult to debug if somebody else has done it. You can see as you build, and I think that's where the problem is. It doesn't lend itself to debug something. For example, if you create a formula that's quite complicated, it's not easy to understand what goes with what. It becomes spaghetti, and it's very difficult to unpick. That's really my gripe about it, and in some ways, it's too flexible. It tries to be a Jack of all trades when it's not. I think a lot of these products, if they concentrate on trying to produce your reports, then that's fine. But when they're trying to do all sorts of other things as well, then it isn't very easy. We get lots of support from Oracle, but I think the problem is that we get many invalid file operations. Nobody understands why. It can be a multitude of reasons, but no one reason could cause it. That's just one of the issues we've had in the last year. But the scope of reporting has gone through the roof over the previous 12 to 18 months. We want an end-of-life OBIEE in our environment because some of the infrastructure runs unclustered. We weren't allowed to go clustered for some reason, and we never knew why. Unfortunately, going down that route means that the platform we run it on, WebLogic, has now become non-standard within our organization. Everything's been moved off it and onto other platforms. Unfortunately, our OBIEE runs on that platform, and we're being pushed down different routes, and we don't know where we're going at the moment. Within the next two years, I don't think we'll have OBIEE in our part of the business. In the next release, I think having the capability of being able to develop and then promote to a production environment rather than having to have separate environments will help. I know that Tableau and Power BI can be created on a desktop application, and then when it's ready to go live, you can promote it."
"It is complex for designing RPD, and it can be simpler. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"Particularly on the Cloud, a lot of functionality has yet to be ported."
