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.

My main suggestion for improvement centers on pricing. Introducing a tier modelled after AWS spot instances would be a game-changer. Users could bid on unused compute capacity, potentially leading to significant cost savings during off-peak hours or for less time-critical tasks. Spot instances empower users with tighter budgets or fluctuating workloads to strategically leverage lower-cost resources for development, experimentation, and background tasks. This frees up on-demand instances for truly time-sensitive work.

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."
"It did help us to convert data into knowledge."
"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."
"In terms of streamlining a lot of the low-level data science work, it does a few things there."
"Even people who are not fully technical can use it with a little guidance or something."
"The solution helps with the automatic assessment of the quality of datasets, such as missing data points or incorrect data types."
"Darwin is the perfect tool to solve this issue; what the machine-learning industry needs at this point to expand exponentially in the oil and gas market."
"Our main goal is to transform data into knowledge and Darwin is definitely helping us to do that faster."
"There is plenty of computational resources (both GPU, CPU and disk space)."
"Saturn Cloud supports GPU as part of the environment, which is essential for many computational tasks in machine learning projects. It also allows us to edit the environment, including the image, before we start the cloud resources. This feature lets us quickly set up the environment without the hassle of moving the data and code to another cloud device."
"They provide a centralized space for data, code, and results."
"It didn't take long to see that Saturn Cloud could scale with my needs, providing more resources when required."
"The feature I like the most about Saturn Cloud is that it has lightning-fast CPUs."
"It offered an excellent development environment while not touching our production cloud resources."
 

Cons

"Our main data repository is on AWS. The trouble we are having is that we have to download the data from our repository to bring it into Darwin. It would be great if there was an API to connect our repository to Darwin."
"If you give a lot of data to Darwin, sometimes it can hang."
"The license cost is not cheap, especially not for markets like Mexico."
"The analyze function takes a lot of time."
"Darwin is stable, but it just doesn't provide the functionality that an analyst would need."
"The Read Me's and the tutorials need to be greatly improved to get customers to understand how things work. It might be helpful to have some sample data sets for people to play around with, as well as some tutorial videos. It was very hard to find information on this in the time crunch that we had, to see how it worked and then make it work, while interfacing with folks at SparkCognition."
"Because so much is done under the hood of Darwin, it is hard to trust how it gets the answers it gets."
"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."
"It would be nice to have more hardware category options, like TPU coprocessors or ARM64 CPUs."
"Public Clouds integration and sandbox environments would be a true game changer."
"Saturn Cloud should include prebuilt images for advanced data science packages like LightGBM in the next release. If possible, they should also provide a Kaggle image, which contains the most common Python packages used in machine learning."
"Providing more detailed and beginner-friendly documentation, especially for advanced features, could greatly enhance the user experience."
"My main suggestion for improvement centers on pricing. Introducing a tier modelled after AWS spot instances would be a game-changer."
"We'd like to have the capability for installing more libraries."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
