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

"One of the valuable features of Dataiku is the workflow capability."
"I believe the return on investment looks positive."
"The best features Dataiku offers include the ability for users to use the node without having to code and the functionality related to low-code/no-code."
"Dataiku is highly regarded as it is a leader in the Gartner ranking."
"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."
"Data Science Studio's data science model is very useful."
"The most valuable feature is the set of visual data preparation tools."
"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."
"The solution is able to handle quite large amounts of data beautifully."
"SAS internal support is very qualified and if we have any issues, we contact them and trust that they can help."
"The solution is very good for data mining or any mining issues."
"Technical support has been good, and when I called them at the start of using the product with some issues they were very helpful."
"It enables statistical modeling of data using Base SAS (another product from the same vendor) as the backbone."
"I found the ease of use of the solution the most valuable. Additionally, other valuable features include: the user interface, power to extract data, compatibility with other technologies (specifically with PS400), and automation of several tasks."
"I like the way the product visually shows the data pipeline."
"Good data management and analytics."
 

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."
"I need to stress upon the part about customer support because there are some product issues we have identified and raised with customer support, but sometimes the response is delayed, so that can be improved."
"The license is very expensive. It would be great to have an intermediate license for basic treatments that do not require extensive experience."
"The ability to have charts right from the explorer would be an improvement."
"All products have room for improvement, and I would like to see their pricing simplified, as it is somewhat complex."
"Dataiku is down a lot of times, and we have to wait for sometimes five, ten, or fifteen minutes, after which it gets working again, and during those times, we are unable to get our work done."
"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."
"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."
"Virtualization could be much better."
"The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies."
"We really don't like the protocols the solution offers. The solution is much more complex than other options."
"The visualization of the models is not very attractive, so the graphics should be improved."
"The solution needs an easier interface for the user. The user experience isn't so easy for our clients."
"The license is really expensive. This solution is for large corporations because not everybody can afford it."
"The ease of use can be improved. When you are new it seems a bit complex."
"The user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual."
 

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 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."
