Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, Anaplan, SAP and others in Predictive Analytics.
Tasks that earlier took hours in Excel or SQL are now completed in minutes.
Alteryx helps familiarize managers with artificial intelligence-driven possibilities.
I have seen a return on investment, as the accuracy has really improved in my organization since everything is automated.
Since using this tool, I can now make decisions faster, even when there is just a small change in the data.
I contacted customer support once or twice, and they were quick to respond.
The customer service was not good because we weren't premium support users.
Customer support is good since I've had no issues and can easily contact representatives who respond promptly.
We have a multi-level support system, with the initial level handled by the company we bought the license from and subsequent support from IBM.
Instead, we rely on third-party partners recognized by IBM, who provide cost-effective support.
They have been very dedicated and provided top-notch solutions.
Alteryx is scalable for most enterprise analytics and data preparation workloads.
Alteryx is scalable, and I would give it eight out of ten.
IBM Planning Analytics' scalability is impressive, as it is able to gather data from multiple sources and handle huge amounts of data without any lagging or downtime.
Scalability is quite hard to implement in TM1, largely since the on-premise installation chosen back in 2014.
Scalability is straightforward but it is pricey since it's a SaaS model priced per user.
I didn't need to reach out to Alteryx for support because available documents usually provide enough information to resolve issues.
I have not encountered any lagging, crashing, or instability in the system during these three months of usage.
The performance of IBM Planning Analytics has always been fast and reliable for my needs, even when dealing with huge volumes of data.
This stability is really important as we use it for budget calculation, which is time-consuming.
IBM Planning Analytics is stable because the reason we switched from IBM Cognos is that IBM Planning Analytics capability allows us to connect to multiple tools, which we could not do before.
The tool could include more native connectors, such as for global ERPs, instead of requiring additional fees for these connections.
The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system.
The additional features that Alteryx needs to work on to make it more competitive include better collaboration and easier integration through API.
The abundance of features results in complexity, requiring strict guidelines for developers to ensure simplistic approaches are adhered to.
IBM's visualization needs significant improvement.
The advanced features are somewhat complex to understand, and if the data set is very large, it takes a lot of time to process, which causes performance to become slower.
The price is very high, with licensing typically starting around five thousand dollars plus user per year.
Alteryx is more cost-effective compared to Informatica licenses, offering savings.
It has a fair price when considering a larger-scale implementation.
TM1 is quite expensive, and I'd rate the pricing as an eight out of ten.
While IBM's solutions were costly before, the introduction of SaaS models has reduced prices significantly.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for IBM Planning Analytics is that the pricing and licensing cost can be somewhat on the higher side, especially for small organizations.
Alteryx not only represents data but also supports decision-making by suggesting the next steps.
Analysts who do not have any coding experience can still work on the transformation and preparation of data, which is quite useful.
Alteryx includes built-in tools such as drive time analysis and linear regression, which are much harder to achieve in standard BI tools such as Power BI or Tableau.
Its stability helps controllers win time in their planning processes.
It also integrates machine learning and AI engines, enabling us to use algorithms for inventory forecasting which optimizes our inventory and replenishment rates.
Some of the valuable features of IBM Planning Analytics are its intuitive and user-friendly interface, reporting output and scheduling, access control and security, and mobile capabilities.
