Cdao/Global Head Of Data And Analytics at Givaudan Roure

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Traceability is vital since I manage many cohorts, and collaboration is key as I have multiple engineers substituting for one another."

"I believe the return on investment looks positive."

"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 most valuable feature is the set of visual data preparation tools."

"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."

"The solution is quite stable."

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

"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."

More Dataiku pros

"Good data management and analytics."

"The setup is straightforward. Deployment doesn't take more than 30 minutes."

"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."

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

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

"The technical support is very good."

"The most valuable feature is the decision tree creation."

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

Cons

"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."

"Dataiku still needs some coding, and that could be a difference where business data scientists would go for DataRobot more than Dataiku."

"Server up-time needs to be improved. Also, query engines like Spark and Hive need to be more stable."

"I have not seen a return on investment with Dataiku in terms of time saved, money saved, or fewer employees needed."

"In terms of enhancing collaboration within my team, I would not say Dataiku is the best one because it's so expensive."

"The license is very expensive. It would be great to have an intermediate license for basic treatments that do not require extensive experience."

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

"Although known for Big Data, the processing time to process 1.8 billion records was terribly slow (five days)."

More Dataiku cons

"The visualization of the models is not very attractive, so the graphics should be improved."

"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."

"Virtualization could be much better."

"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 solution needs an easier interface for the user. The user experience isn't so easy for our clients."

"The solution is much more complex than other options."

"Technical support could be improved."

"The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies."

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."

"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."

"The solution must improve its licensing models."

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