Alteryx Analytics vs Datameer

• Alteryx provides an integrated workflow management environment for data blending, analytics, and reporting. It is also very extensible to be connected to a variety of data connections including major databases (Oracle, etc.), analytics tools (R), and visualization tools such as Tableau through its plugins. Our department used Oracle and Tableau already and it was well integrated with Alteryx.
• The workflow authoring environment in Desktop is easy to use so that most of the users (if they are a bit skilled data developers or analysts) may not need the training to use its basic functions. Drag and drop interface and icons are intuitive to understand.
• When running Alteryx workflows, it is easy to monitor and track what's the progress by seeing percentages. It is helpful to balance and manage bandwidths of database servers, especially when to populate large data sets.

• It enables regular users and analysts with capabilities that are only available for data scientists in other solutions.
• It provides an "Excel-like" interface to have quick and simple access to data in Hadoop.

• Sometimes the desktop version of authoring tool crashes! It's been unstable in the previous versions but gets better. Even if it doesn't crash, it used to be slow or not responding.
• When running several version of database drivers in local machine or server, it is tricky to set up database connections. Often you have to figure out it by googling the problem and solution. There are not many knowledge bases from Alteryx.
• Alteryx project file creates .bak file automatically. It is useful to prevent for the purpose of back up, sometimes it's not necessary. But it is not changeable for some reason. By default, it always creates backups.

• Data visualization and graphics. Right now it's not very user friendly. Creating dashboards requires a lot of work that can be done by the application

• Definitely, an increase in employee efficiency. With the right tools and hardware, Alteryx can reduce the processing time significantly.
• Automation and/or automatic report scheduling frees up a lot of time that can be used elsewhere.
• Licensing updates are somewhat not handled easily and quite often create issues with modules to run slowly and/or not being active.
