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.

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.

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."
"If many teams are collaborating and sharing Jupyter notebooks, it's very useful."
"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."
"Dataiku is highly regarded as it is a leader in the Gartner ranking."
"One of the valuable features of Dataiku is the workflow capability."
"Cloud-based process run helps in not keeping the systems on while processes are running."
"Traceability is vital since I manage many cohorts, and collaboration is key as I have multiple engineers substituting for one another."
"I rate the overall product as eight out of ten."
 

Cons

"It would be beneficial if Altair Knowledge Studio could offer a more unified platform that includes data preparation, predictive modeling, and model exportation."
"Server up-time needs to be improved. Also, query engines like Spark and Hive need to be more stable."
"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."
"I think it would help if Data Science Studio added some more features and improved the data model."
"Dataiku still needs some coding, and that could be a difference where business data scientists would go for DataRobot more than Dataiku."
"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 area for improvement is the need for more capabilities similar to those provided by NVIDIA for parallel machine learning training. We still encounter some integration issues."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of allowing for more code-based features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing is pretty steep. Dataiku is also not that cheap."
