Advanced decision trees and seamless data pattern analysis transform data preparation
One of the most valuable features of Altair Knowledge Studio is its decision trees, which are quite advanced and popular compared to other tools. The Segment Viewer is another unique feature that provides a comprehensive view of data patterns and helps identify anomalies before creating decision trees. Additionally, the ability to export code in the language of SAS is valuable, and the tool's drag-and-drop functionality makes it accessible to business users without a coding background.

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of Altair Knowledge Studio is its decision trees, which are quite advanced and popular compared to other tools."
"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."
"Cloud-based process run helps in not keeping the systems on while processes are running."
"One of the valuable features of Dataiku is the workflow capability."
"Dataiku is highly regarded as it is a leader in the Gartner ranking."
"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 best feature in Dataiku is that once the data is connected in the underneath layer, it flows exceptionally smoothly if you know how to tweak it."
"Traceability is vital since I manage many cohorts, and collaboration is key as I have multiple engineers substituting for one another."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial if Altair Knowledge Studio could offer a more unified platform that includes data preparation, predictive modeling, and model exportation."
"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."
"The license is very expensive."
"However, I feel that better documentation is necessary."
"I think it would help if Data Science Studio added some more features and improved the data model."
"Maybe on the interface in general, the information can easily get lost."
"We still encounter some integration issues."
"I have not seen a return on investment with Dataiku in terms of time saved, money saved, or fewer employees needed."
"The ability to have charts right from the explorer would be an improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
