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.

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 offered quick development, with the ability to process large datasets."
"I like the fact that you can easily blend data from different platforms."
"It has everything that one needs. Whatever you want to do with the data can be done with Alteryx."
"The solution has been stable."
"Shortens the time required to start analyzing data and looking for insights, minimizing the tasks that do not add value to the business and maximizing the analysis phase."
"Alteryx offers a cognitive approach to better understand data and purposes."
"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."
"Cloud-based process run helps in not keeping the systems on while processes are running."
"Dataiku is highly regarded as it is a leader in the Gartner ranking."
"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."
"Extremely easy to use with its GUI-based functionality and large compatibility with various data sources. Also, maintenance processes are much more automated than ever, with fewer errors."
"The solution is quite stable."
"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."
"Data Science Studio's data science model is very useful."
"One of the valuable features of Dataiku is the workflow capability."
"Regarding the technical support for the solution, I find the documentation provided comprehensive and helpful."
"The solution is really scalable."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is easy to use and deploy."
"It's a great option if you are fairly new and don't want to write too much code."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Machine Learning Studio for me is its convenience. I can quickly start using it without setting up the environment or buying a lot of devices."
"It's good for citizen data scientists, but also, other people can use Python or .NET code."
"Azure Machine Learning Studio's most valuable features are the package from Azure AutoML. It is quite powerful compared to the building of ML in Databricks or other AutoMLs from other companies, such as Google and Amazon."
"The learning curve is very low. Operationalizing the model is also very easy within the Azure ecosystem."
 

Cons

"The only area where the product lags is documentation and videos on the analytical app and the batch macro."
"The scalability worries me a lot at the moment because the cost of the solution is high and it is not growing considerably. Unfortunately, we started during early COVID times and because of the economic downturn, all the cost cuttings, and everything, it is not growing as expected."
"Configuration is very low."
"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."
"There have been some issues with licensing, particularly with the increased prices. This has led some companies, including ours, to consider reducing the number of licenses or potentially discontinuing their use of Alteryx."
"The product could benefit from improved integration with visualization tools or even the inclusion of built-in visualization features."
"The only weakness I would say is on the visualization side of having that dynamic incapability."
"Mastering Alteryx, a comprehensive solution, takes time. However, once you have gained proficiency with its layout and how to drag, drop, and connect components, it becomes remarkably easy, yet still thorough."
"I find that it is a little slow during use. It takes more time than I would expect for operations to complete."
"Although known for Big Data, the processing time to process 1.8 billion records was terribly slow (five days)."
"One of the main challenges was collaboration. Developers typically use GitHub to push and manage code, but integrating GitHub with Dataiku was complicated."
"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 license is very expensive."
"We still encounter some integration issues."
"Server up-time needs to be improved. Also, query engines like Spark and Hive need to be more stable."
"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."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio could improve in providing more efficient and cost-effective access to its tools for companies like mine."
"The data preparation capabilities need to be improved."
"Operability with R could be improved."
"The product must improve its documentation."
"This solution could be improved if they could integrate the data pipeline scheduling part for their interface."
"In terms of data capabilities, if we compare it to Google Cloud's BigQuery, we find a difference. When fetching data from web traffic, Google can do a lot of processing with small queries or functions."
"The platform's integration feature could be better."
"When you use different Microsoft tools, there are different pricing metrics. It doesn't make sense. The pricing metrics are quire difficult to understand and should be either clarified or simplified. It would help us sell the solution to customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a good price."
"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."
"In order to have designers, and, if you want to collaborate, you have to buy a server. If the designer is $5,000, and if you want a server, you have to pay $80,000."
"While it offers extensive features, including predictive analytics, for those who mainly use it for data preparation and blending, the cost can be prohibitive."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"The license price of the solution is expensive."
"The pricing is $5000 per year per production license."
"There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else."
"Pricing is pretty steep. Dataiku is also not that cheap."
"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."
"I rate the solution's pricing a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The product's pricing is reasonable."
"The licensing cost is very cheap. It's less than $50 a month."
"There is a lack of certainty with the solution's pricing."
"I used the free student license for a few months to operate the solution, but I'll have to pay for it if I want to do more now."
"We pay only the Azure costs for what we use, which involves some subscription costs. But essentially, you pay for what you use. There are no extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"When we got our first models and were ready for the user acceptance testing, our licensing fees were between €2,500 ($2,750 USD) and €3,000 ($3,300 USD) monthly."
"I am paying for it following a pay-as-you-go. So, the more I use it, the more it costs."
