Struggled to justify enterprise adoption but have valued broader developer accessibility
If I could change or add anything to improve C3 AI, I would suggest making it not just an AI platform, but a data and AI combined platform, as bringing in data management elements, governance, and cloud features is critical. The real AI and modeling represent only 20 percent of what is needed; there is over 80 percent in the rest of the world that should be addressed. Given Tom Siebel's deep understanding of corporate work and his network, integrating C3 AI with other ERP solutions such as Oracle, SAP, or Microsoft is essential. If C3 AI can be an enterprise platform, embedding more data elements and ensuring seamless integration with other ERP solutions would significantly enhance its capabilities and attractiveness. If someone told me that they have SAP, and C3 AI can seamlessly integrate the data and perform action calls between SAP, allowing me to operate on C3 AI as I would on SAP, that would be a killer feature for me. I would suggest avoiding traditional licensing sales as it is too expensive; the starting price is too high. Considering a subscription model or a pay-per-use model is the best business structure for AI or data solution vendors. The pay-per-use model benefits usage, as the more you use, the more successful you become with the platform.

Family sharing and personal backups have improved how I manage and access my files anywhere
I am not fond of their syncing. Their file syncing is very clunky, so I am not a real fan of the file syncing. I think Box does a much better job of the syncing of data onto desktops and laptops. When you try to sync the files in Dropbox, it actually puts a copy of the file on your laptop, so it sucks up all of your memory. Whereas with Box, I can sync files into my file explorer and it is still cloud-based. They have not saved the file physically onto my laptop. They save it in the cloud and it just does a temporary download and then it uploads again, but that file is not saved on my laptop. Whereas with Dropbox, anytime you want to sync on your laptop, it actually does save it. There is a way to set it up, but it takes a lot more work and effort and I have never been able to get it to work the way I want it to work. So I just do not sync my files with Dropbox on my laptop. That limits my ability to use Dropbox from my work laptop because my work laptop just does not have any memory at all on it. They give the bare minimum of memory and say that it should all be in the cloud anyway, so you do not need to have that much storage space. So I cannot even access Dropbox from my work laptop and have to use the browser version of Dropbox if I need to access my Dropbox from my work laptop. Within the company, it is a personal choice. Our company has not dictated what cloud service to use. As long as it has all the security measures that meet the standards of our IT department, anyone can use whatever cloud service they want. For example, our company is not allowed to use Google because Google is not a secure cloud service in the estimation of our IT department. So there are cloud services that we are not allowed to use, but from the five to seven different services that they give us to choose from, we all can find what meets our needs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the best features C3 AI offers is that you do not need to learn Python or any specific machine learning programming language; you can use C3 AI with JavaScript."
"In the first phase alone, there was approximately $90 million in savings, which reduced about 5% of inventory."

Cons

"The reason I chose eight out of ten is that as a user of C3 AI, I found the operational aspect not easy to understand; it is a bit tricky, and you should have more core knowledge to navigate C3 AI."
