ML Engineer at a energy/utilities company with 51-200 employees
Centralized experiment tracking has improved reproducibility and collaboration across teams
Comet is a very powerful tool for experiment tracking and MLOps workflows, but the platform is somewhat complex for teams that are not initially familiar with the structured practices that have to be followed in MLOps. Understanding experiment organization, integrations, and tracking workflows requires some onboarding. Pricing is one of the major challenges that Comet is facing. As our organization has increased and many users and experiment tracking requirements have increased, the platform cost can increase very quickly. The platform delivers very strong value when the users have increased or experiment tracking has increased extensively. However, as the ML workload increases, the cost also increases very quickly. Smaller teams running a limited number of ML experiments may not be able to fully utilize its capabilities as a whole. Comet has good integration capabilities with popular ML frameworks, and the integration is very strong. While using some customized pipelines, we need to have some manual configuration, and some effort is needed in that area. The slight learning curve for teams that are unfamiliar with structured MLOps practices could have some improvement in that area. Some integrations with customized pipelines still require a lot of manual effort, which is one area that Comet could improve in. Pricing initially seemed very high compared to other open-source experiment tracking tools. However, once we integrated the platform into our workflows, the productivity improvements justified the investment.
Dhroov Patel - PeerSpot reviewer
Site Reliability Engineer at Grainger
Has improved incident response with better root cause visibility and supports flexible on-call scheduling
Datadog needs to introduce more hard limits to cost. If we see a huge log spike, administrators should have more control over what happens to save costs. If a service starts logging extensively, I want the ability to automatically direct that log into the cheapest log bucket. This should be the case with many offerings. If we're seeing too much APM, we need to be aware of it and able to stop it rather than having administrators reach out to specific teams. Datadog has become significantly slower over the last year. They could improve performance at the risk of slowing down feature work. More resources need to go into Fleet Automation because we face many problems with things such as the Ansible role to install Datadog in non-containerized hosts. We mainly want to see performance improvements, less time spent looking at costs, the ability to trust that costs will stay reasonable, and an easier way to manage our agents. It is such a powerful tool with much potential on the horizon, but cost control, performance, and agent management need improvement. The main issues are with the administrative side rather than the actual application.
