Portable code has empowered cross‑client data science and now supports collaborative AI projects
Machine learning AI platforms like Domino Data Science Platform have the problem that they need to demonstrate well to citizen data scientists and technology management, so they need to make AI look easy. They also need to demonstrate well to professional data scientists who want to have their hands on as much power and scalability as possible. Lastly, they need to serve what we call MLOps engineers and software engineers to take the models and move them to production deployment. Those three personalities want a tool to look three different ways, and Domino Data Science Platform does a really good job at that. Domino Data Science Platform makes it accessible to citizen data scientists with basic concepts for IT management, has robust abilities to serve professional data scientists, and also has abilities to help MLOps and DataOps people deploy. I think the ability to select your environment, your containers, and your scalability, to use lots of computing memory when you need it, and then build your model, create your architectures, and then scale back to different sizes of the platforms as you need it is the area that Domino Data Science Platform stands out the most for professional data scientists. The ability to do the code yourself in Python and at the same time have automatic version control is really helpful too. I would highlight that Domino Data Science Platform is closer to Databricks, and while I have also used Dataiku, I would say that Dataiku is actually closer to the citizen data scientist platform.

KNIME Business Hub could be improved by increasing integration between KNIME and other tools, such as where companies store data and data visualization tools, making it easier to integrate with these tools and faster to create dashboard updates and quick data extraction through KNIME. An ETL process must communicate with both data sources and the data visualization layer. The integration needs to be more robust, and the nodes that act as connectors to these sources and tools need to be more robust, as the flow often broke when the problem was just a connection issue. This should be improved and perhaps expanded. Another problem was that KNIME could not integrate with all tools. Expanding the possibilities of creating reports and connecting to data visualization tools, especially on the data visualization side, would be useful. The output of an ETL process or ETL flow is visualization through a dashboard or report, so more downstream integration in the process would be needed. Regarding improvements needed in KNIME Business Hub, there may be a hierarchy of users and certain applications created. On the security side of accessing company data, I do not know whether this is already sufficiently considered by KNIME or not. I hope so, because certain data are sensitive and need to be handled with care. The fact that KNIME is enabled to access such data means you also need to ensure that authorizations and data processing policies are respected. Because some company data are sensitive, the fact that KNIME reads them also requires guaranteeing that a policy is respected on the other side. I hope this has already been considered by KNIME Business Hub; I am not aware, but if it has not, this could be an aspect to consider: privacy and the protection of company data when they are read by a system that is not company-owned but still must read them with all proper requirements and safeguards.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The scalability of the solution is good; I'd rate it four out of five."
"In terms of my experience deploying models using Domino Data Science Platform, I have previously worked with Google Cloud and Vertex AI, as well as Azure Machine Learning Studio, but I find that Domino Data Lab is a much more advanced platform specifically tailored for model deployment, which significantly eases our workflow."
"Domino Data Science Platform makes it accessible to citizen data scientists with basic concepts for IT management, has robust abilities to serve professional data scientists, and also has abilities to help MLOps and DataOps people deploy."
"We primarily use the solution for customer retention, but there are a lot of use cases for this particular product."
"The workspaces, which are like wrappers of Docker containers, made it easy to start development environments using Domino."
"The technical support is excellent, fast, accurate, and friendly."
"Easy to connect with every database: We use queries from SQL, Redshift, Oracle."
"It has allowed us to easily implement advanced analytics into various processes."
"The solution is good for teaching, since there is no need to code."
"Valuable features include visual workflow creation, workflow variables (parameterisation), automatic caching of all intermediate data sets in the workflow, scheduling with the server."
"Clear view of the data at every step of ETL process enables changing the flow as needed."
"This is a very handy tool and I use it quite interactively."
"With KNIME, I am able to get that process down to under one minute, with data broken down into individual tabs."
 

Cons

"Improvement areas for Domino Data Science Platform could relate to resource monitoring capabilities; adding visuals that stakeholders can review would enhance awareness of resource usage and its impact on applications and costs."
"The deployment of large language models (LLMs) could be improved."
"The predictive analysis feature needs improvement."
"Regarding Domino Data Science Platform's AI capabilities, I find its governance and security to be basic at present."
"To enhance accessibility and user-friendliness, there is a need for improvements in the interface and usability of deep learning and large-scale learning languages."
"Compared to the other data tools on the market, the user interface can be improved."
"KNIME's documentation is not strong."
"We are worried about the performance when it comes to using a lot of data that has many rows and columns."
"The documentation needs a proper rework. ​"
"Sometimes it is a little bit difficult to use some nodes when we have large-scale data, for example CSV files with a large amount of data, because some features that are in the CSV as text, for example large text, are difficult for KNIME Business Hub to import, and we need to try to use different nodes for importing the data, such as File Reader and CSV Reader."
"In the previous versions, I had some issues when reading large Excel files due to memory usage."
"Data visualization needs improvement."
