Featured Reviews

Theresa McLaughlin - PeerSpot reviewer
Quick development enables seamless data processing despite occasional support issues
There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason. The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system. Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage. For instance, our licenses were temporarily lost during negotiations when an agreement couldn't be reached.
Gary Cook - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables us to forecast and pull trends and has an easy installation
My rating for SAP Predictive Analytics would be an eight out of ten. If I have to be bold, I'll probably say that we're building away hours, and we are actually putting a lot of the actual predicting stuff back into the warehouse. So running it very bi-directionally. So I'm not sure what its integration features are at the moment, but that's an area we're going to look into in the next month or so.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is the intelligence suite."
"The three data signs and data engineering are great features."
"Good data transformation."
"The product's most valuable features include its ease of use for non-technical users and machine learning capabilities."
"It offered quick development, with the ability to process large datasets."
"Shortens the time required to start analyzing data and looking for insights, minimizing the tasks that do not add value to the business and maximizing the analysis phase."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is data preparation."
"I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."
"The most valuable features are the analytics and reporting."
"I think the features of the actual ability to forecast and pull trends and correlations has been really good."
 

Cons

"Alteryx can improve in data science. They have to have more features and components in the data science aspect because they claim to be a data science tool. However, in order to be more competitive, they have to improve on their data science propositions. Thre are other solutions on the market, such as other players in the market, Data2Go or DataIQ, and Alteryx needs to catch up."
"Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage."
"The only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"Mastering Alteryx, a comprehensive solution, takes time. However, once you have gained proficiency with its layout and how to drag, drop, and connect components, it becomes remarkably easy, yet still thorough."
"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."
"I'd like it to be easier to work with PDF."
"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"The server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else."
"We use the free version of the solution. There are enterprise licenses available. It cost approximately $5,000 annually. It is an expensive solution and there are additional features that cost more money."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"The designer has a list price of $5,995 USD."
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable"
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
