Find out in this report how the two AI Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
It has reduced manual efforts that would otherwise be spent checking where spending is occurring and ensuring all teams use resources correctly.
I have seen a return on investment of 100%, with significant cost avoidance and measurable savings within the first few months of deployment.
I've seen a return on investment, as the savings are concrete, measurable, and they show up directly in the AWS bill.
Previously we had five employees doing the entire workflow, and now we can do it with two employees because agents are being used to do the same which was previously being done by the employees.
For team productivity, a single ML engineer using DataRobot is equivalent to five to ten traditional ML engineers.
On average, we're saving about 10 to 15 hours per project.
The additional support ended up taking longer than expected, with responses that did not meet our need for detailed and technical assistance.
Sometimes support needs to be reached, but they are very responsive and supportive.
The customer support for CloudCheckr is fantastic.
If you are paying somewhere between $100,000 to $200,000 annually, you receive a dedicated technical account manager who understands your AWS setup and models, unlike generic ticketing systems.
They answer all my questions and share guidance on using DataRobot scripts if certain functionalities are not available in the UI.
Being cloud-hosted enables automatic resource scaling, which supports collaboration across teams.
It scales well for MSPs and large enterprises, allowing for management of hundreds of accounts and tens of thousands of resources while retaining performance and visibility.
Scalability is where DataRobot truly excels; it manages to handle millions or even billions of rows using technologies such as Spark and Dask for distributed training.
DataRobot's scalability has allowed us to reduce the number of employees needed for model creation.
DataRobot is very scalable because the customer initially started with two licenses, and now they have around 20 licenses.
CloudCheckr is stable and rock solid.
Model stability is also reinforced through drift detection and auto-alerts if data changes or model accuracy dips, catching issues before they impact business operations.
CloudCheckr is a powerful and feature-rich tool with abundant metrics.
Another area is drift analysis; there have been complaints about tracking optimization opportunities, such as how to track opportunities identified in January and whether they were resolved in February.
An area where CloudCheckr can be improved is pricing.
If DataRobot also adds those data transformation capabilities, then it will be an end-to-end tool and the customer will not have to procure many tools for doing the ingestion and transformation process.
The integration of DataRobot would greatly benefit from allowing more realistic tools and would be improved if it integrates more comprehensively with AWS cloud and other cloud platforms.
For API deployment, we require enhanced data systems, including procuring new servers for GPU support.
Overall, the pricing was quite convenient and represented good value for money.
Pricing is feature-tiered under the MSP licensing, and I would say the pricing was quite competitive and fair.
I won't pretend it's cheap, but we've saved multiples of what we pay for it, so the conversation with finance is straightforward.
The setup cost was minimal because it's cloud-hosted, eliminating the need for heavy on-premises infrastructure, allowing us to start using it immediately after purchase.
The annual platform license ranges from around $100,000 to $500,000, typically starting at $100,000 per year for small teams with one to two users.
It is a bit expensive but remains very effective.
The cost visibility and reporting are really valuable, and the dashboard is informative and enables good decision-making.
What makes CloudCheckr easy for me to use is its intuitive interface.
The best features CloudCheckr offers include out-of-the-box security and compliance check features that provide over 35 different types of compliance checks at no cost, best practice checks, and alerts.
By automating highly technical aspects like model comparison, DataRobot enhances productivity and reduces project timelines from three months to less than one month.
DataRobot has positively impacted our organization in many ways. First, it has improved efficiency; tasks such as model testing, feature engineering, and predictions that used to take us days or weeks can now be accomplished in hours.
The automated machine learning and AI features of DataRobot have helped us build predictive models rapidly using hundreds of algorithms.
