Alteryx Analytics vs Mendix

Alteryx Analytics

My experience with Alteryx was very specific. We had a targeted goal and knew the precise data we wanted to work with. Alteryx is a fantastic tool if you already have data, want additional data to merge with for ultimately taking action or making assessments. In other words, Alteryx is a fantastic data scientist tool to make data-based business decisions. But to be most effective, first you need to know what data you have, what data you want to find/incorporate and what the goal of the exercise is.

Mendix

Mendix really shines when delivering Mode 2 in bimodal application development. This is where the requirements are unclear and change often. While it can be used for developing Mode 1 applications, this is not where its sweet spot is.

Through a graphical UI one can perform engineering and development, other vendors do not have such a code-less interface.

Reliability and Availability

Alteryx Analytics10.0

Based on 1 answer

I use many programs and compared to others, Alteryx virtually never goes down, freezes up or gives an application error. Over a 4 year time period that I have used this program, any of these may have happened 3 times. It is an incredibly stable program that I feel completely confident in.

Implementation

Alteryx Analytics10.0

Based on 1 answer

There is really not much to it (the installation, that is). Once you get it installed, along with any of the add-ons (demographics, R, etc.), you are up and running almost immediately. There is really no additional setup. You can immediately begin blending data, running demographics, performing spatial queries, running predictive analysis, etc. And for many of these functions, the learning curve is quite easy.

Alternatives Considered

SAS is great and without it a lot of businesses would be out of business but Alteryx allows a much more user friendly interface and minimal code is needed. I think SQL was the only code I really needed when using Alteryx. R has been introduced within Alteryx and now it can be used for regressions and statistical analyses. (Great idea by the way Alteryx) Tableau as well has been introduced within Alteryx if I'm not mistaken so now within one program, you can manipulate your data, run a regression and build a model, and then present your findings in a very professional, interactive manner.

Mendix is more flexible and custom making oriented than Appian. OutSystems is almost the same as Mendix but more directed to the traditional developer, whereas Mendix is trying to make it possible for everyone to be able to model.
