Visual workflows have streamlined healthcare analytics and have reduced reporting time significantly

In terms of improvement, I cannot comment on the LLMs or the agentic view as I have not used them yet. However, I feel that better documentation is necessary. Dataiku should establish a stronger community since this is proprietary software, where users can share knowledge. Although they have some community interaction, it is often challenging to find assistance when stuck. For example, when I was new to Dataiku and trying to use an external optimization tool such as CPLEX, I struggled with resource directory linking to a project's notebook. Detailed documentation and community discussions could have significantly alleviated these issues for users such as myself.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I believe the return on investment looks positive."

"I rate the overall product as eight out of ten."

"The solution is quite stable."

"The best features Dataiku offers that help me with my demand forecasting and data science projects include having a complete overview of the flow directly from the flowchart, allowing me to observe all the steps in a single overview, and the ability to use a no-code, low-code node."

"The advantage is that you can focus on machine learning while having access to what they call 'recipes.' These recipes allow me to preprocess and prepare data without writing any code."

"Dataiku has positively impacted my organization, specifically in one project where we performed migration from AWS to Dataiku, speeding up the solution by close to 40% and reducing architecture costs by almost 70%, which was a significant benefit and greatly impacted our operations."

"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."

"I like the interface, which is probably my favorite part of the solution. It is really user-friendly for an IT person."

More Dataiku pros

"Overall it is a good solution."

"he solution is scalable."

"The solution is able to handle quite large amounts of data beautifully."

"The solution is very good for data mining or any mining issues."

"I like the way the product visually shows the data pipeline."

"Most of the features, especially on the data analysis tool pack, are really good. The way they do clustering and output is great. You can do fairly elaborate outputs. The results, the ensembles, all of these, are fantastic."

"The data processing of the solution is very good, easy to use, both for enterprise and personal use."

"The technical support is very good."

More SAS Enterprise Miner pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"I think it would help if Data Science Studio added some more features and improved the data model."

"I would like to have better exclusion of data capability."

"I find that it is a little slow during use. It takes more time than I would expect for operations to complete."

"The license is very expensive."

"One area for improvement is the need for more capabilities similar to those provided by NVIDIA for parallel machine learning training. We still encounter some integration issues."

More Dataiku cons

"Technical support could be improved."

"The license is really expensive. This solution is for large corporations because not everybody can afford it."

"While I don't personally need tutorials, I can't say that it wouldn't be helpful for others to have some to help them navigate and operate the system."

"Plus it is prohibitively expensive and is not available with perpetual licensing."

"The solution is very stable, but we do have some problems with discrepancies involving SAS not matching with the latest Java versions. It's not stable in cases where SAS tries to run on a different version because SAS doesn't connect with the latest Java update. Once a month we need to restart systems from scratch."

"The stability isn't perfect. We have issues with accuracy in some AI forecasting areas, and the accuracy is not as good as the clients need it to be."

"The ease of use can be improved. When you are new it seems a bit complex."

More SAS Enterprise Miner cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Pricing is pretty steep. Dataiku is also not that cheap."

"This solution is for large corporations because not everybody can afford it."

"The solution must improve its licensing models."

"The solution is expensive for an individual, but for an enterprise/institution (purchasing bulk licenses), it is not a high price for the use that will come from it."
