Featured Reviews

Theresa McLaughlin - PeerSpot reviewer
Quick development enables seamless data processing despite occasional support issues
There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason. The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system. Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage. For instance, our licenses were temporarily lost during negotiations when an agreement couldn't be reached.
RichardXu - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"Alteryx has helped us spend more time identifying results instead of performing analysis manually. It has helped us in our loading process, including scrubbing data and identifying data elements that need to be corrected. It enables us to understand our data sets a lot better."
"The feature that I have found most valuable for Alteryx is its geo-referencing feature, it is very good. I use it a lot, especially for supply chain."
"The ease-of-use allows non-technical business users to directly create their own solutions without the use of additional development resources."
"Alteryx significantly reduces the time spent searching for specific information."
"The drag-and-drop functionality, the ready-to-use analytics module, and the ability to track my data pipelines visually are the solution's most valuable features."
"Predictive models, which are easy to use, and help a lot with fast design and deployment​."
"If many teams are collaborating and sharing Jupyter notebooks, it's very useful."
"Dataiku is highly regarded as it is a leader in the Gartner ranking."
"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."
"I rate the overall product as eight out of ten."
"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."
"One of the valuable features of Dataiku is the workflow capability."
"The most valuable feature is the set of visual data preparation tools."
 

Cons

"The gallery could improve in Alteryx. Additionally, if there was a Conditional Join feature it would be beneficial. Since I do not have this feature I have to use Python scripts."
"Alteryx needs to focus on the supply chain aspect since detecting financial figures and data anomalies is currently insufficient."
"They should work on its pricing."
"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"Alteryx can improve in data science. They have to have more features and components in the data science aspect because they claim to be a data science tool. However, in order to be more competitive, they have to improve on their data science propositions. Thre are other solutions on the market, such as other players in the market, Data2Go or DataIQ, and Alteryx needs to catch up."
"Alteryx could be improved in the area of analytics and central governance."
"The server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."
"The only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"We still encounter some integration issues."
"I think it would help if Data Science Studio added some more features and improved the data model."
"There is room for improvement in terms of allowing for more code-based features."
"Server up-time needs to be improved. Also, query engines like Spark and Hive need to be more stable."
"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."
"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 ability to have charts right from the explorer would be an improvement."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing as a ten, as it is highly priced."
"It has a good price."
"​Very transparent.​"
"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"My organization pays for it, and I do not look into the financial aspect of the licensing, but I know it is pretty expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"If one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the tool's price as a one. The tool is expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"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."
