Sentiment score
5.4
Dataiku enhances efficiency, compliance, collaboration, and development speed, though financial benefits remain unclear without a pricing change.
The market is competitive, and Dataiku must adopt a consumption-based model instead of the current monthly model.

I consider the return on investment with Dataiku valuable because for us, it is one single platform where all our data scientists come together and work on any model building, so it is collaboration, plus having everything in one place, organized, having proper project management, and then built-in capabilities which help to facilitate model building.

Room For Improvement

Darwin users seek API integration, improved functionality, educational resources, and better automation for precision and transparency in AI processes.
Dataiku needs improvements in stability, usability, integration, cost-efficiency, and features for smaller teams and non-IT users.
Someone who needs to do coding can do it, and someone who does not know coding can also build solutions.

The license is very expensive.

It is not possible in Dataiku to create direct visualizations or to integrate a web app directly or in a simpler way as it is possible for a preprocessing step.

Setup Cost

Darwin's licensing costs are significant yet often seen as valuable, with predictable setup fees and optional costs for integrations.
Dataiku's pricing ranges from €20 to €40 annually per key, seen as affordable or expensive depending on budgets.
There are no extra expenses beyond the existing licensing cost.
Manager at CTTI - Centre de Telecomunicacions i Tecnologies de la Informació
I find the pricing of Dataiku quite affordable for our customers, as they are usually large companies.

Valuable Features

Darwin excels in data cleaning, model-building, and integration, enhancing productivity and accessibility for non-experts in machine learning.
Dataiku enhances workflows with visual tools, supports multiple languages, and integrates easily with cloud platforms for efficient data management.
It offers most of the capabilities required for data science, MLOps, and LLMOps.
Cognitive Business Operation at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
Dataiku primarily enhances the speed at which our customers can develop or train their machine learning models because it is a drag-and-drop platform.

Empowers SMEs to build solutions and interface them with the existing business systems, products and workflows.
There's always room for improvement in the UI and continuing to evolve it to do everything that the rest of AI can do. Because it's so much better than traditional methods, we don't get a ton of complaints of, "Oh, we wish we could do that." Most people are happy to see that they can build models that quickly, and that it can be done by the people who actually understand the problem, i.e. SMEs, rather than having to rely on data scientists. There's a small learning curve, but it's shorter for an SME in a given industry to learn Darwin than it takes for data scientists to learn industry-specific problems. The industry I work in deals with tons and tons of data and a lot of it lends itself to Darwin-created solutions. Initially, there were some limitations around the size of the datasets, the number of rows and number of columns. That was probably the biggest challenge. But we've seen the Darwin product, over time, slowly remove those limitations. We're happy with the progress they've made.

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.
