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."All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its unlimited handling capabilities."
"Alteryx has a good UI. We use it frequently in our projects. The tool comes with drag-and-drop features and is easy to understand for business needs. One situation where Alteryx's advanced analytics capabilities were particularly beneficial for us was during a forecasting project. Unlike Python, which requires coding, Alteryx simplifies the process significantly. With Alteryx, users can adjust parameters within the user interface without writing any code."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its stand-alone version that we do not have to download dependencies for loads. Additionally, the scan is useful for beginners."
"Alteryx's connectivity is essential. We like the ability to connect the solution to multiple sources. It's easier than other data modeling and extraction solutions. It's built on a self-service concept, so it's easy for anyone to open the tool and directly import or export data from it."
"I think the most valuable feature for Alteryx in a health facility is that it permits cleaning, organizing, and merging of databases such as Excel and Access."
"My primary focus is creating numerous data pulls, and Alteryx Server handles the automation well."
"Easy to use."
"It's easy to connect Analytics Cloud with other SAP solutions, and it's also effortless to deploy. You don't need much technical skill to set it up. It's as easy as setting up a tablet. I said tablet before. It's very easy to actually set up."
"The features that are most valuable in SAP Analytics Cloud are the planning feature and the predictive analytics feature, though the planning feature needs to be more efficient."
"The features that I have found most valuable with SAP ERP products are their good user interface, stability, functionality, and good interface options."
"I like the product's capabilities. The clarity and scenarios are the main features that allow us to forecast using machine learning algorithms and make decisions."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is easy to create charts with, and is a stable business intelligence platform. Easy to set up solution."
"The solution is stable."
"Visualization is quite seamless and awesome. Once the data messaging is set up, it's straightforward and simple to select how it should be displayed. So, that's another advantage of SAP."
"It would be great if Alteryx could take third party tools and incorporate them."
"We can't browse multiple files. When we deploy a solution on a gallery, let's say I have ten different files, and I have to upload them all at once. This is something that's difficult in the gallery. So case by case, I see some downsides, but often we do something alternative."
"The solution could improve in the visualization."
"Configuration is very low."
"Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."
"The technical support could have a little bit of improvement."
"It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."
"There's a big jump in terms of pricing between license tiers. I'm not sure I understand why the price jumps are so high."
"One potential improvement is how we can transpose data. With SAP, if you have data from one system with a declared data type and a different system with another data type, the transfer is tricky."
"Some algorithms are complex and can't be processed by just tagging the data and expecting results."
"I am not happy with the predictive analytics features and smart features offered by the product, making them areas where improvements are required."
"I think it would be easier if there was another module created to retrieve only data."
"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."
"We need to know that we are using the latest and greatest, and SAP appears as if it has lost some credit in the market."
"AI doesn't work as well with SAP live connections."
"Pricing is fine for the BI license, but when it comes to client license, that fee is a bit high."
