ROI

Sentiment score
5.8
Comet's automation reduced manual tasks, improved productivity, enhanced tracking, and saved users 10-40% time on projects.
Sentiment score
8.4
Automation led to $2M annual savings, fewer staff, increased productivity, and improved efficiency, despite some underutilizing DataRobot.
I estimate I spend around thirty to forty percent less time organizing and comparing experiment results compared to manual tracking.

Room For Improvement

Comet requires UI improvements, faster performance, stronger security, better integrations, enhanced learning resources, and more competitive pricing.
DataRobot requires improved data transformation, cloud integration, pricing, algorithm speed, transparency, AI features, support, and documentation.
It needs to be smarter, utilizing better AI engines to combine data from various sources, and improve the intelligence of its answers, creativity, and document creation capabilities.
Manager & Co-Founder at Arido
Comet can be improved by being more stable and providing security features similar to Brave.
Cloud Operations Engineer at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
Comet needs smarter algorithms to understand user inquiries and provide better reasoning steps.
Senior Data Scientist at Evolvision Technologies
If DataRobot also adds those data transformation capabilities, then it will be an end-to-end tool and the customer will not have to procure many tools for doing the ingestion and transformation process.
Advisory Solutions Architect at Dell Technologies
The integration of DataRobot would greatly benefit from allowing more realistic tools and would be improved if it integrates more comprehensively with AWS cloud and other cloud platforms.
Quality Engineering Specialist at a consultancy with 1,001-5,000 employees
For API deployment, we require enhanced data systems, including procuring new servers for GPU support.
Senior Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
 

Setup Cost

Comet provides affordable, scalable cloud-based pricing on AWS Marketplace, with unlimited team support and straightforward subscription plans.
DataRobot's high costs are justified by value for some, but less cost-effective for smaller organizations.
I found it easy to understand the pricing and subscription models for faster integration.
Senior Data Scientist at Evolvision Technologies
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that I am using Perplexity, the pro version, which is connected to Comet, and together they provide me with very good results at a cost of only twenty dollars, which is acceptable to me.
Automation Engineer at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
The setup cost was minimal because it's cloud-hosted, eliminating the need for heavy on-premises infrastructure, allowing us to start using it immediately after purchase.
Senior Data Reporting Analyst at University of Bradford
The annual platform license ranges from around $100,000 to $500,000, typically starting at $100,000 per year for small teams with one to two users.
Senior Data Engineer at LTM
It is a bit expensive but remains very effective.

Valuable Features

Comet offers experiment tracking, AI task automation, and collaboration tools, enhancing productivity and reducing manual efforts in ML projects.
DataRobot automates machine learning with features like drift detection, bias auditing, and API integration, enhancing efficiency and collaboration.
The feature that keeps tabs open is great because they are updated and still on the same page where I left off, which is super helpful, allowing me to quickly return to what I was working on.
Manager & Co-Founder at Arido
It has transformed the workflow because fewer people are needed for some tasks, and the automation of tasks means that not much human effort is required.
Cloud Operations Engineer at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
This setup significantly reduces task efficiency in high latency scenarios, providing dynamic websites, faster responses, quicker solutions, and smoother searches compared to typical browsing methods.
Senior Data Scientist at Evolvision Technologies
By automating highly technical aspects like model comparison, DataRobot enhances productivity and reduces project timelines from three months to less than one month.
Staff Specialist Data Scientist at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
DataRobot has positively impacted our organization in many ways. First, it has improved efficiency; tasks such as model testing, feature engineering, and predictions that used to take us days or weeks can now be accomplished in hours.

Organizing research experiments has improved and supports faster model comparison and learning
My experience with Comet has been very positive, but there are a few areas where it could be improved. One area is the learning curve for new users. Some of the more advanced features can feel overwhelming at first, especially for students who are new to machine learning experiment tracking. More beginner-friendly tutorials and guided onboarding would help. I would also like to see more customization options for dashboards and visualizations, making it easier to create views tailored to specific projects. Another improvement would be deeper integration with commonly used collaboration tools, which would streamline project documentation and team workflows. There are a few additional areas where Comet could improve. From a performance perspective, I occasionally notice that dashboards with a large number of experiments can take longer to load or navigate. Regarding documentation, while the available resources are helpful, I would appreciate more beginner-focused examples, step-by-step tutorials, and real-world use cases. For support, my experience has generally been good, but having more community resources, discussion forums, webinars, or educational content specifically aimed at students and researchers would be valuable.

Accelerated production models have transformed fraud detection and streamlined compliant AI workflows
There are three additional things I would like to add about DataRobot. First, it is not magic; the saying 'garbage in, garbage out' still applies. If your data is messy, has leaks, or the wrong target, DataRobot will just build a bad model faster. It is important to spend time on data prep. Second, free alternatives exist; if the budget is tight, H2O.ai, AutoGluon by AWS, and PyCaret in Python do similar AutoML. DataRobot wins on MLOps with enterprise support, but open-source options win on cost and control. Finally, if you need deep learning for images and text or want full control over every model detail, coding it yourself in Python, TensorFlow, or PyTorch is still better. DataRobot is best for tabular data with business predictions. When it comes to improving DataRobot, I see a few functionalities that need attention. First, the pricing with access is a concern. Enterprise pricing starts at approximately $100,000 per year, which means startups, students, and small teams can't even test it. An improvement would be a real tier, like a $500 per month startup plan. Alternatives like AutoGluon and H2O.ai win here because anyone can try them. Currently, DataRobot operates on a try before you buy basis, which leads to a sales call rather than offering direct sign-up. The second improvement would focus on control versus AutoML trade-offs; while AutoML is fast, sometimes you need to tweak something in preprocessing, but DataRobot hides a lot under the hood. The suggested improvement would allow more granular control without leaving the UI, letting power users directly edit the blueprint code. I would like the ability to change one line instead of rebuilding the whole thing.
