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 most valuable feature of Alteryx is its unlimited handling capabilities."
"The tools are built-in. You just plug and play, drag and drop, once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."
"This is a drag-and-drop tool which is easy-to-use and yet can be customized by creating your own components."
"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."
"The solution has excellent drag and drop functionality. There's no need for coding."
"I think the features of the actual ability to forecast and pull trends and correlations has been really good."
"The most valuable features are the analytics and reporting."
 

Cons

"There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search."
"It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."
"The interface could be improved."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"The server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."
"It is a little bit pricey."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"It's very expensive. I'd rate it a four out of ten in terms of the price. It's great for big companies but not for small companies."
"The price could be better."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"ROI is huge. There are some secondary benefits, like analysts getting their post 5 PM time back or the ability to shorten all closing processes to a half or less."
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."
"The pricing is reasonable"
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."
