User Testimonials
	Altair SLC	Toucan
Likelihood to Recommend	Altair Engineering, Inc. WPS Analytics allowed our company's business users to keep using their existing programs while getting similar results with much less learning time. It's a great accomplishment when software for business users is changed—excellent relationships with providers and other salespeople. As a SAS user, I needed an interpreter for the SAS language, and WPS has more packages and a lower price than any other company I could find, so I decided to go with it. Incentivized Khairul Islam Tonmoy Software Developer Read full review	Toucan Great for folks to visualize data with little to no engineering knowledge, once the product is set up by an engineer. However, tweaks and adjustments to the data set still require engineering know-how, and tweaks to the visuals still require a CSS designer. If you need PDF reports, this is not the best option, but it's great for on-screen reporting. Incentivized Kathleen Paluso Director, Customer Success & Implementation Read full review
Pros	Altair Engineering, Inc. WPS Analytics is powered with high performance data processing engine. Reusable data models save finances and time. Self-service data analyzation portals. Incentivized AC Adam Collier Account Executive Read full review	Toucan data visualization data management ease of integration Incentivized Kathleen Paluso Director, Customer Success & Implementation Read full review
Cons	Altair Engineering, Inc. Currently, I barely encounter challenges when using WPS Analytics although I don't use it on a daily basis. There's no functionality or feature that needs more improvement. Incentivized JH Jonas Harmer Business Development Specialist Read full review	Toucan PDF exporting need SQL and CSS knowledge to make the best use of the product Incentivized Kathleen Paluso Director, Customer Success & Implementation Read full review
Support Rating	Altair Engineering, Inc. No answers on this topic	Toucan Outstanding support, very communicative. We use Slack and have a joint channel - very easy to get the help we need! Incentivized Kathleen Paluso Director, Customer Success & Implementation Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Altair Engineering, Inc. I use a lot of data discovery and visualization tools at workstations to help me gain deep insights into data. WPS Analytics doesn't vary much from all the DVD tools that I have listed, I always go for the best.

Return on Investment	Altair Engineering, Inc. Using machine learning and natural language to analyze data saves time and effort. Standard reporting and business intelligence help us reduce workload and make data-driven decisions. Drag-and-drop workflow saves time when different languages like SQL and SAS make it easier to code and prepare data.
