Featured Reviews

Theresa McLaughlin - PeerSpot reviewer
Quick development enables seamless data processing despite occasional support issues
There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason. The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system. Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage. For instance, our licenses were temporarily lost during negotiations when an agreement couldn't be reached.
RichardXu - PeerSpot reviewer
The platform organizes workflows visually and efficiently
One of the valuable features of Dataiku is the workflow capability. It allows us to organize a workflow efficiently. The platform has a visual interface, making it much easier for educated professionals to organize their work. This feature is useful because it simplifies tasks and eliminates the need for a data scientist. If you are knowledgeable about AI, you can directly write using primitive tools like Pantera flow, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn. However, Dataiku makes this process much easier.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Alteryx is a low-code platform, and that's the biggest reason why we chose it."
"There are a lot of good customization capabilities."
"Alteryx significantly reduces the time spent searching for specific information."
"Once we got it in-house, I knew its value."
"It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis."
"Data processing is most valuable. It is one of the fastest data blockers out there in the market, which is a fascinating thing about Alteryx."
"Alteryx is a simple and easy-to-use solution."
"Shortens the time required to start analyzing data and looking for insights, minimizing the tasks that do not add value to the business and maximizing the analysis phase."
"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."
"Our clients can easily drag and drop components and use them on the spot."
"I rate the overall product as eight out of ten."
"Cloud-based process run helps in not keeping the systems on while processes are running."
"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."
"Extremely easy to use with its GUI-based functionality and large compatibility with various data sources. Also, maintenance processes are much more automated than ever, with fewer errors."
"Traceability is vital since I manage many cohorts, and collaboration is key as I have multiple engineers substituting for one another."
"The most valuable feature is the set of visual data preparation tools."
 

Cons

"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"Alteryx needs to focus on the supply chain aspect since detecting financial figures and data anomalies is currently insufficient."
"The GUI interface functions but it could stand to be updated to a more modern look and feel."
"The interface could be improved."
"It is a little bit pricey."
"The next feature release should include easier reporting."
"There are a few imputation techniques which they really need to include."
"There are no ready models to use in analytics."
"One area for improvement is the need for more capabilities similar to those provided by NVIDIA for parallel machine learning training. We still encounter some integration issues."
"Although known for Big Data, the processing time to process 1.8 billion records was terribly slow (five days)."
"The license is very expensive."
"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."
"Dataiku still needs some coding, and that could be a difference where business data scientists would go for DataRobot more than Dataiku."
"The license is very expensive. It would be great to have an intermediate license for basic treatments that do not require extensive experience."
"There is room for improvement in terms of allowing for more code-based features."
"I think it would help if Data Science Studio added some more features and improved the data model."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"It has a good price."
"Its price should be lower. The key thing that we see is that talking about ROI is an important element at the time of purchase. Cost becomes a factor in every discussion. Justifying the ROI for these kinds of workflows is always a challenge, and the only way to counter the challenge is by addressing the pricing."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"It's very expensive. I'd rate it a four out of ten in terms of the price. It's great for big companies but not for small companies."
"The solution has a more costly license than other tools in the market."
"​Very transparent.​"
"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."
"Pricing is pretty steep. Dataiku is also not that cheap."
