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.

We used Domino Data Science Platform for developing and working with machine learning models. It facilitated end-to-end development processes. Domino is based on Git, enabling collaboration similar to using Git. Each user operates on their own equivalent of a branch or fork, and once finished, they…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have managed to reduce the percentage of high-risk clients from 8.9 percent to 5 percent, which is very significant in the overall quality of our clients and very good news for everyone, especially our investors."
"Due to the predictions that we have been able to do because of the use of Darwin, we have decreased our delinquency index from almost nine percent to five percent and reduced our client loss index from 19 percent to 10 percent."
"I liked the data checking feature where it looks at your data and sees how viable it is for use. That's a really cool feature. Automatic assessment of the quality of datasets, to me, seems very valuable."
"In terms of streamlining a lot of the low-level data science work, it does a few things there."
"Darwin is really useful for people who don't necessarily do a lot of data science."
"When we have a clean dataset, within two to three hours we have a really nice model, one that is better than we could generate in a week."
"The most valuable feature is the model-generation. With a nice dataset, Darwin gives you a nice model. That's a really nice feature because, if we're doing that ourselves, it's trial and error; we change the parameters a little and try again. We save time by just giving the dataset to Darwin and letting Darwin generate a model. We find the models it generates are good; better than we can generate."
"Our main goal is to transform data into knowledge and Darwin is definitely helping us to do that faster."
"We primarily use the solution for customer retention, but there are a lot of use cases for this particular product."
"The workspaces, which are like wrappers of Docker containers, made it easy to start development environments using Domino."
"The scalability of the solution is good; I'd rate it four out of five."
 

Cons

"Darwin is stable, but it just doesn't provide the functionality that an analyst would need."
"There are issues around the ethics of artificial intelligence and machine learning. You need to have a lot of transparency regarding what is going on under the hood in order to trust it. Because so much is done under the hood of Darwin, it is hard to trust how it gets the answers it gets."
"In the beginning, when we started to see how Darwin works, we thought that maybe, from raw, dirty data, we could generate a model really fast, but that's not true."
"An area where Darwin might be a little weak is its automatic assessment of the quality of datasets. The first results it produces in this area are good, but in our experience, we have found that extra analysis is needed to produce an extra-clean set of data."
"The analyze function takes a lot of time."
"Because so much is done under the hood of Darwin, it is hard to trust how it gets the answers it gets."
"There's always room for improvement in the UI and continuing to evolve it to do everything that the rest of AI can do."
"There's always room for improvement in the UI and continuing to evolve it to do everything that the rest of AI can do."
"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As far as I understand, my company is not paying anything to use the product."
"The license cost is not cheap, especially not for markets like Mexico. But sometimes, you do have to make these leap of faith for some tools to see if they can get you the disruption that you are aiming for. The investment has paid off for us very well."
"I believe our cost is $1,000 per month."
"In just six months, we calculated six million pesos that we have prevented in revenue from going away with another customer because of this solution. Thanks to Darwin, we didn't lose those six million pesos."

What needs improvement with Domino Data Science Platform?
The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved. Currently, Domino provides a simple server that cannot handle big deployments, which is not suitable for LLMs.
What is your primary use case for Domino Data Science Platform?
We used Domino Data Science Platform for developing and working with machine learning models. It facilitated end-to-end development processes. Domino is based on Git, enabling collaboration similar...
What advice do you have for others considering Domino Data Science Platform?
It's important to have a DevOps team well-versed with cloud-native solutions to manage Domino effectively. Relying solely on data scientists might not be sufficient. I'd rate the solution eight out...
