What's the difference between Alistar Q and Poppy R?

Poppy R is worse because you can't hit them while they're knocked up.

Worse... as in Alistar's Q is a bad spell? You should not really be using Poppy's ult for knock-ups, but rather disrupting a teamfight.

I'm not going to channel taking myself out of the fight for 3 seconds to take someone out of the fight for 3 seconds. Otherwise you're basically saying, "I'm going to delete myself from this team fight so I can take someone out as well for a short duration!" Tanks don't do that

You should not build Poppy as a pure tank. Then her ult does not do any damage. She is a fighter. Build AD. Unless you are playing her as an actual support.

Poppy's R isn't just a CC ability, it's a hard disengage. Think about using it to get rid of a dangerous or disruptive enemy(ies) rather than just as a tool to interrupt and kill.
