RichardXu - PeerSpot reviewer
The platform organizes workflows visually and efficiently
One of the valuable features of Dataiku is the workflow capability. It allows us to organize a workflow efficiently. The platform has a visual interface, making it much easier for educated professionals to organize their work. This feature is useful because it simplifies tasks and eliminates the need for a data scientist. If you are knowledgeable about AI, you can directly write using primitive tools like Pantera flow, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn. However, Dataiku makes this process much easier.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Dataiku is highly regarded as it is a leader in the Gartner ranking."
"I believe the return on investment looks positive."
"If many teams are collaborating and sharing Jupyter notebooks, it's very useful."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is one tool that can do everything, and you have the ability to very easily push your design to prediction."
"Traceability is vital since I manage many cohorts, and collaboration is key as I have multiple engineers substituting for one another."
"Extremely easy to use with its GUI-based functionality and large compatibility with various data sources. Also, maintenance processes are much more automated than ever, with fewer errors."
"The most valuable feature is the set of visual data preparation tools."
"Cloud-based process run helps in not keeping the systems on while processes are running."
"The learning curve is very low. Operationalizing the model is also very easy within the Azure ecosystem."
"It's good for citizen data scientists, but also, other people can use Python or .NET code."
"It's easy to use."
"Machine Learning Studio is easy to use, with a significant feature being the drag and drop interface that enhances workflow without any complaints."
"The UI is very user-friendly and that AI is easy to use."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"I find Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio advantageous because it allows integration with Titan Scratch and offers an easy-to-use drag-and-drop menu for developing machine learning models."
"The platform as a service provides user-friendly instruments, making the experience easy."
 

Cons

"The license is very expensive."
"There were stability issues: 1) SQL operations, such as partitioning, had bugs and showed wrong results. 2) Due to server downtime, scheduled processes used to fail. 3) Access to project folders was compromised (privacy issue) with wrong people getting access to confidential project folders."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see deep learning better integrated into the tool and not simply an extension or plugin."
"Dataiku still needs some coding, and that could be a difference where business data scientists would go for DataRobot more than Dataiku."
"I find that it is a little slow during use. It takes more time than I would expect for operations to complete."
"The interface for the web app can be a bit difficult. It needs to have better capabilities, at least for developers who like to code. This is due to the fact that everything is enabled in a single window with different tabs. For them to actually develop and do the concurrent testing that needs to be done, it takes a bit of time. That is one improvement that I would like to see - from a web app developer perspective."
"I think it would help if Data Science Studio added some more features and improved the data model."
"The technical support from Dataiku is not good. The support team does not provide adequate assistance, and there are concerns about billing requests."
"The interface is a bit overloaded."
"One area where Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve is its user interface structure."
"The regulatory requirements of the product need improvement."
"​It could use to add some more features in data transformation, time series and the text analytics section."
"The data processor can pose a bit of a challenge, but the real complexity is determined by the skill of the implementation team."
"There's room for improvement in terms of binding the integration with Azure DevOps."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio worked okay for me, so right now, I don't have any room for improvement in mind for it. What I'd like added to Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio in its next version is a categorization for use cases or a template that makes the use cases simple to map out, for example, for healthcare, medical, or finance use cases, etc. This would be very helpful for users of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, especially for beginners."
"n the solution, there is the concept of workspaces, and there is no means to share the computing infrastructure across those workspaces."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is pretty steep. Dataiku is also not that cheap."
"The annual licensing fees are approximately €20 ($22 USD) per key for the basic version and €40 ($44 USD) per key for the version with everything."
"We pay only the Azure costs for what we use, which involves some subscription costs. But essentially, you pay for what you use. There are no extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"My team didn't deal with the licensing for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, so I'm unable to comment on pricing, but the money that was spent on the tool was worth it."
"The solution cost is high."
"The licensing cost is very cheap. It's less than $50 a month."
"I rate the solution's pricing a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"In terms of pricing, for any cloud solution, you should know the tricks of the trade and how to use it, otherwise, you'll end up paying a lot of money irrespective of the cloud provider, so at least for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio pricing versus AWS, I would rate it three out of five, with one being the most expensive, and five being the cheapest. It could be cheaper, but you also have to be careful when choosing the plans, for example, consider the architecture and a lot of other factors before choosing your plan, if you don't want to end up paying more. If your cloud provider has an optimizer that seems to be available in every provider, that would keep alerting you in terms of resources not being used as much, then that would help you with budgeting."
"I am paying for it following a pay-as-you-go. So, the more I use it, the more it costs."
"On a scale from one to ten, with ten being overpriced, I would rate the price of this solution at six."
