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."
"Dataiku has positively impacted my organization as most of our projects have been migrated to Dataiku, and now people are relying on it as a go-to tool for all our data use cases."
"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."
"Using Dataiku has meant that we spend less time on preparing and cleaning data, and we spend less time on blending models together, ultimately meaning that we can spend more time modeling."
"The most valuable feature is the set of visual data preparation tools."
"I consider the return on investment with Dataiku valuable because for us, it is one single platform where all our data scientists come together and work on any model building, so it is collaboration, plus having everything in one place, organized, having proper project management, and then built-in capabilities which help to facilitate model building."
"If many teams are collaborating and sharing Jupyter notebooks, it's very useful."
"Cloud-based process run helps in not keeping the systems on while processes are running."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of allowing for more code-based features."
"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."
"Dataiku's scalability is not one of the best solutions to scale."
"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 would like to have better exclusion of data capability."
"We still encounter some integration issues."
"Dataiku still needs some coding, and that could be a difference where business data scientists would go for DataRobot more than Dataiku."
"Although known for Big Data, the processing time to process 1.8 billion records was terribly slow (five days)."
