Automating model comparison speeds up development and reduces timelines
DataRobot is equipped with a GUI-based approach that simplifies the process of feature engineering and model training. It provides AutoML capabilities, which allow for comparing thousands of models and selecting the best-suited one based on business requirements. By automating highly technical aspects like model comparison, DataRobot enhances productivity and reduces project timelines from three months to less than one month.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"OpenAI integrates seamlessly with the broader Microsoft Azure ecosystem, and that provides synergies with the other solutions. This integration makes it much easier to build solutions."
"Two aspects I appreciate are the turnaround time and ease of use. As it's a managed service, the quick turnaround is beneficial, and the simple interface makes it easy to work with. Performance and scalability are also strong points since you can scale as needed."
"Our clients are interested in building knowledge bases, particularly in child welfare. In this domain, we focus on supporting caseworkers by compiling and organizing relevant information. This information is then stored in a database using a query. The database generates summaries and reminders for specific actions and even facilitates sending emails to parents or other relevant parties. The system's complexity is tailored to the specific needs of child welfare cases. Additionally, we're exploring opportunities to assist a healthcare organization. Specifically, we're working on streamlining the process of filling out forms required for insurance claims. This effort aims to ensure that hospitals can receive funding or payment for the care they provide."
"OpenAI's models are more mature than Watson's. They offer a wider range of features and provide richer outputs."
"The high precision of information extraction is the most valuable feature."
"The product is easy to integrate with our IT workflow."
"The most valuable features include analyzing comments and preparing requests for customers, making emails easier and faster."
"It is easy to integrate and develop a solution. Most customers are concerned about the security of their data and how cost-effective it is. We have developed some methodologies so that our customers will not be charged too much for these OpenAI services but will still get the same kind of performance and results. It's all developed on Azure, so customers also see its benefit."
"It's easy to do MLOps operations. It's a lot easier to manage jobs and see the logs if there's any drift in a model."
"DataRobot is highly automated, allowing data scientists to build models easily."
"We especially like the initial part of feature engineering, because feature engineering is included in most engines, but DataRobot has an excellent way of picking up the right features."
"DataRobot can be easy to use."
"By automating highly technical aspects like model comparison, DataRobot enhances productivity and reduces project timelines from three months to less than one month."
 

Cons

"Since we don't train the model on our data, it's a struggle to ensure OpenAI answers questions exclusively from our data. During user testing, we found ways to make the system provide answers from outside sources."
"Our customers are worried about data management, ethical, and security issues."
"Sometimes, it gives answers in English, even when the request is in Polish."
"There are certain shortcomings with the product's scalability and support team where improvements are required."
"Latency performance is a major part. And I'm seeking support for multiple models that handle text, images, videos, and voice. I'm from India, and I'm looking for more support in Indian languages. There are 18 official languages and many more unofficial. We need support for these languages, especially in voice moderation, which is not yet available."
"The product features themselves are fine. However, with Microsoft scaling the service so much, the support structure needs to keep pace. When solving complex issues, the process of interacting with Microsoft can be quite time-consuming."
"I have found the tool unreliable in certain use cases. I aim to enhance the system's latency, particularly in responding to calls. Occasionally, calls don't respond, so I want to improve reliability."
"Azure OpenAI is not available in all regions, and its technical support should be improved."
"There are some performance issues."
"If we could include our existing Python or R code in DataRobot, we could make it even better. The DataRobot that we have is specific to an industry, but most of the time we would have our own algorithms, which are specific to our own use case. If we had a way by which we could integrate our proprietary things into DataRobot with a simple integration, it would help us a lot."
"DataRobot is a UI-based tool, which means it cannot provide all the features I might manually implement through notebooks or Python. In this aspect, I see room for improvement in its functionality."
"Generative AI has taken pace, and I would like to see how DataRobot assists in doing generative AI and large language models."
"The business departments will love to work with DataRobot because they use the tool to investigate their data, such as targeting what they want to investigate. They don't need any data scientists near them. They can investigate at eye level and bring into the BI tool, or can bring it to the data scientist. Data scientists can use this tool to bring increase the solution to the maximum. All the others can use it, but not to the maximum."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is acceptable, and it's delivering good value for the results and outcomes we need."
"We started with monthly payments, but we plan to switch to yearly billing once we've stabilized our solution."
"The solution's pricing is normal worldwide but expensive in Turkey because Turkey's currency is different."
"The solution's pricing depends on the services you will deploy."
"If you consider the long-term aspect of any project, Azure OpenAI is a costly solution."
"Regarding pricing and licensing, it's a bit complex due to the minimum purchase requirement for PTO units. We're evaluating the best approach between PTE and pay-as-you-go models. Our organization is cautious about committing to PTE due to the fixed bandwidth reservation, while pay-as-you-go doesn't offer enough flexibility. We're discussing these matters with legal teams to ensure compliance and data security."
"I'm uncertain about the licensing, specifically the pricing. This falls under the purview of other teams, particularly the sales teams. I am not informed about the pricing details."
"According to the negotiations taking place and the contract, there is a need to make either monthly or yearly payments to use the solution."
"The price of DataRobot is good because if you take the price of the solution which is approximately $65,000, it is less than a data scientist. There are very few data scientists available."
"We dropped the plan to use DataRobot, because we found the pricing to be on the higher sise. We liked DataRobot a lot, but due to the pricing, we dropped that idea."
