Advanced decision trees and seamless data pattern analysis transform data preparation
One of the most valuable features of Altair Knowledge Studio is its decision trees, which are quite advanced and popular compared to other tools. The Segment Viewer is another unique feature that provides a comprehensive view of data patterns and helps identify anomalies before creating decision trees. Additionally, the ability to export code in the language of SAS is valuable, and the tool's drag-and-drop functionality makes it accessible to business users without a coding background.

Unified platform has accelerated model development and improved collaborative data science work
I think Dataiku could be improved or enhanced in future releases with more 'talk to my data' capabilities, maybe more NLP features, and maybe a platform to build agents. These improvements would benefit me and my processes because they will help us to continue using Dataiku as one platform; right now we are exploring other platforms for the features which are missing, and if they are available within the same platform, I think it will increase the usage of Dataiku further. I think the pricing and licensing of Dataiku is a bit expensive; it could be improved further, and I think they should have a different kind of licensing model as well.

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of Altair Knowledge Studio is its decision trees, which are quite advanced and popular compared to other tools."
"I believe the return on investment looks positive."
"Dataiku is highly regarded as it is a leader in the Gartner ranking."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is one tool that can do everything, and you have the ability to very easily push your design to prediction."
"I rate the overall product as eight out of ten."
"Dataiku is a complete platform to build ETL and data pipeline and deploy it, which I appreciate."
"The advantage is that you can focus on machine learning while having access to what they call 'recipes.' These recipes allow me to preprocess and prepare data without writing any code."
"Traceability is vital since I manage many cohorts, and collaboration is key as I have multiple engineers substituting for one another."
"I like the interface, which is probably my favorite part of the solution. It is really user-friendly for an IT person."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial if Altair Knowledge Studio could offer a more unified platform that includes data preparation, predictive modeling, and model exportation."
"All products have room for improvement, and I would like to see their pricing simplified, as it is somewhat complex."
"I have not seen a return on investment with Dataiku in terms of time saved, money saved, or fewer employees needed."
"There were stability issues: 1) SQL operations, such as partitioning, had bugs and showed wrong results. 2) Due to server downtime, scheduled processes used to fail. 3) Access to project folders was compromised (privacy issue) with wrong people getting access to confidential project folders."
"Although known for Big Data, the processing time to process 1.8 billion records was terribly slow (five days)."
"In terms of enhancing collaboration within my team, I would not say Dataiku is the best one because it's so expensive."
"Dataiku's scalability is not one of the best solutions to scale."
"Server up-time needs to be improved. Also, query engines like Spark and Hive need to be more stable."
"I find that it is a little slow during use. It takes more time than I would expect for operations to complete."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing is pretty steep. Dataiku is also not that cheap."
"The annual licensing fees are approximately €20 ($22 USD) per key for the basic version and €40 ($44 USD) per key for the version with everything."
