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

"I believe that the ability to leverage the gallery for scalability, as well as the general data blending functionality, is most beneficial to our core-based users."
"The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."
"It is efficient in optimizing our ability to get information."
"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."
"It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis."
"You get more support with Alteryx, and it's good for non-sophisticated users who can benefit from the support included in the price."
"Data processing is most valuable. It is one of the fastest data blockers out there in the market, which is a fascinating thing about Alteryx."
"Alteryx helps me do a lot of automation. The best thing about Alteryx is that you don't have to repeat the workflow over and over again. Unlike Excel, where you need to write formulas for each new file, Alteryx follows a consistent process. You can schedule and automate the workflow, even if the files change."
"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

"The solution is improving continuously. They have, for example, just added automatic insights. If they continue to improve on their overall service offering, that would be ideal."
"The technical support could have a little bit of improvement."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"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."
"The software is not fully optimized."
"The formula we currently use in Alteryx can be automated."
"Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage."
"Even when it already includes some AI models, this area could be improved."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"Its price should be lower. The key thing that we see is that talking about ROI is an important element at the time of purchase. Cost becomes a factor in every discussion. Justifying the ROI for these kinds of workflows is always a challenge, and the only way to counter the challenge is by addressing the pricing."
"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"​Very transparent.​"
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
"The pricing is reasonable"
