The Forrester Wave: Big Data Predictive Analytics Solutions, Q2 2015Yesterday Forrester Research unveiled the report The Forrester Wave™: Big Data Predictive Analytics Solutions, Q2 2015. This is the first time we have been included in this Forrester Wave report, and we are pleased to be at the top of the "Strong Performers" group in the Strategy category.

 

We believe our performance in this year's Forrester Wave represents the emphasis we have put on making our advanced analytics capabilities both easy for new users, as well as comprehensive for experienced power users. We feel it also supports our strategy around making predictive analytics more accessible to line--of-business analysts. This strategy will continue as we look to deliver the right capabilities and experiences to our customers and prospects. It is feedback from the market, analysts and customers that help us strive to the path of providing the best analytics experience.

 

It’s worth noting that our placement in this Forrester Wave is based on the capabilities in Alteryx Analytics version 9.1, and there are enhancements in the latest version, 9.5, as well as in development that will help achieve further accomplishments and recognition in the future. The ability to do in-database processing for predictive analytics was introduced in Alteryx Analytics 9.5, and additional in-database capabilities and improvements to existing predictive techniques will bring a new level of performance and refinement.

 

We are very happy with our placement in this year's Forrester Wave on Big Data Predictive Analytics Solutions, and would like to thanks the entire Alteryx team to help us achieve this accomplishment. I encourage you to read the report to learn more.
