The market is competitive, and Dataiku must adopt a consumption-based model instead of the current monthly model.
Cognitive Business Operation at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
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.

Room For Improvement

Alteryx users criticize its outdated interface, high pricing, and demand better documentation, collaboration, and data science tools.
Dataiku needs improved server stability, user interface, pricing, and integration with tools, supporting non-IT users and diverse data.
The tool could include more native connectors, such as for global ERPs, instead of requiring additional fees for these connections.

The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system.
Senior Capacity Planner at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

Theresa McLaughlin - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Capacity Planner at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
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.
PriyankaSharma3 - PeerSpot reviewer
Cdao/Global Head Of Data And Analytics at Givaudan Roure
Unified platform has accelerated model development and improved collaborative data science work
I think Dataiku could be improved or enhanced in future releases with more 'talk to my data' capabilities, maybe more NLP features, and maybe a platform to build agents. These improvements would benefit me and my processes because they will help us to continue using Dataiku as one platform; right now we are exploring other platforms for the features which are missing, and if they are available within the same platform, I think it will increase the usage of Dataiku further. I think the pricing and licensing of Dataiku is a bit expensive; it could be improved further, and I think they should have a different kind of licensing model as well.
