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

"Our clients can easily drag and drop components and use them on the spot."

"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."

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

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

"Cloud-based process run helps in not keeping the systems on while processes are running."

"If many teams are collaborating and sharing Jupyter notebooks, it's very useful."

"Data Science Studio's data science model is very useful."

"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."

More Dataiku pros

"The technical support is very good."

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

"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."

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

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

"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."

More SAS Enterprise Miner pros

Cons

"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."

"One of the main challenges was collaboration. Developers typically use GitHub to push and manage code, but integrating GitHub with Dataiku was complicated."

"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."

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

"We still encounter some integration issues."

"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."

"The technical support from Dataiku is not good. The support team does not provide adequate assistance, and there are concerns about billing requests."

More Dataiku cons

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

"Technical support could be improved."

"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."

"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 user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual."

"Virtualization could be much better."

"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 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."

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