ML Engineer at a energy/utilities company with 51-200 employees
Centralized experiment tracking has improved reproducibility and collaboration across teams
Comet is a very powerful tool for experiment tracking and MLOps workflows, but the platform is somewhat complex for teams that are not initially familiar with the structured practices that have to be followed in MLOps. Understanding experiment organization, integrations, and tracking workflows requires some onboarding. Pricing is one of the major challenges that Comet is facing. As our organization has increased and many users and experiment tracking requirements have increased, the platform cost can increase very quickly. The platform delivers very strong value when the users have increased or experiment tracking has increased extensively. However, as the ML workload increases, the cost also increases very quickly. Smaller teams running a limited number of ML experiments may not be able to fully utilize its capabilities as a whole. Comet has good integration capabilities with popular ML frameworks, and the integration is very strong. While using some customized pipelines, we need to have some manual configuration, and some effort is needed in that area. The slight learning curve for teams that are unfamiliar with structured MLOps practices could have some improvement in that area. Some integrations with customized pipelines still require a lot of manual effort, which is one area that Comet could improve in. Pricing initially seemed very high compared to other open-source experiment tracking tools. However, once we integrated the platform into our workflows, the productivity improvements justified the investment.

Accelerated production models have transformed fraud detection and streamlined compliant AI workflows
There are three additional things I would like to add about DataRobot. First, it is not magic; the saying 'garbage in, garbage out' still applies. If your data is messy, has leaks, or the wrong target, DataRobot will just build a bad model faster. It is important to spend time on data prep. Second, free alternatives exist; if the budget is tight, H2O.ai, AutoGluon by AWS, and PyCaret in Python do similar AutoML. DataRobot wins on MLOps with enterprise support, but open-source options win on cost and control. Finally, if you need deep learning for images and text or want full control over every model detail, coding it yourself in Python, TensorFlow, or PyTorch is still better. DataRobot is best for tabular data with business predictions. When it comes to improving DataRobot, I see a few functionalities that need attention. First, the pricing with access is a concern. Enterprise pricing starts at approximately $100,000 per year, which means startups, students, and small teams can't even test it. An improvement would be a real tier, like a $500 per month startup plan. Alternatives like AutoGluon and H2O.ai win here because anyone can try them. Currently, DataRobot operates on a try before you buy basis, which leads to a sales call rather than offering direct sign-up. The second improvement would focus on control versus AutoML trade-offs; while AutoML is fast, sometimes you need to tweak something in preprocessing, but DataRobot hides a lot under the hood. The suggested improvement would allow more granular control without leaving the UI, letting power users directly edit the blueprint code. I would like the ability to change one line instead of rebuilding the whole thing.
