Room For Improvement

Data Hub needs better data quality, integration, automation, user experience, and analytics to simplify features for all users.
DataRobot needs improved integration, transparency, pricing, and support, while users seek enhanced AI features and better data handling.
Providing consulting or support with professionals who are qualified to use Data Hub would be interesting, along with providing training and certifications for the tool so that those who are implementing it can specialize increasingly in its features.
Data Quality Engineer at truelogic
The impact is very positive, and there are many benefits for us using Data Hub because it was easier to make data governance, create centralized metadata management, improve data discoverability, and manage data in general.
Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
I wonder if it can automate the classification exercise, possibly using AI to auto-classify PII direct and indirect items.
Director at a university with 1-10 employees
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.
Advisory Solutions Architect at Dell Technologies
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.
Quality Engineering Specialist at a consultancy with 1,001-5,000 employees
For API deployment, we require enhanced data systems, including procuring new servers for GPU support.
Senior Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
 

Setup Cost

DataRobot's enterprise pricing varies from $100,000 to over $1 million, with additional costs for setup and support.
Regarding experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing, I think if we have a budget of one hundred thousand US dollars, we will be able to deploy a reasonable version and connect to a number of data sources.
Director at a university with 1-10 employees
It costs about zero since, if we win the setup, it probably results in no cost.
Finance Feedback Committee at MB Shinsei Finance Limited Liability Company
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.
Senior Data Reporting Analyst at University of Bradford
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.
Senior Data Engineer at LTM
It is a bit expensive but remains very effective.

Senior Software Engineer 2 at Porch
Metadata management has streamlined lineage tracking and data discovery for our teams
The best features Data Hub offers include its integration capability with many popular tools like Apache Airflow, Snowflake, dbt, Looker, Apache Kafka, and BigQuery. These tools provide us with data in various places, and we commonly use Apache Airflow for the DAG, while utilizing BigQuery as our database and Apache Kafka for consuming messaging queues. Data Hub easily connects with all these tools and features excellent data discovery and visualization capabilities. We can see data visibility, where it comes from, its upstream and downstream relationships. If we remove a column, we can assess the impact of that change. Furthermore, if there are duplicate datasets being used by different teams that do not communicate regularly, onboarding all data to Data Hub allows us to identify these duplicates easily. Out of all those features, I believe data discovery and impact analysis are the most valuable for my team because when we want to add or drop a column, we can assess the impact analysis to understand the downstream effects. This helps us know who owns a dataset, and we can easily contact the owner. Tracking the data lineage back to the source table is also a key benefit. Data Hub has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing manual work that was previously needed to identify upstream and downstream data relationships, as well as recognizing duplicate datasets. If a data contract is broken, we now easily get notified of those issues, making the process much easier and more efficient. It is particularly useful for data engineers and platform teams to check for problems directly within Data Hub. Data Hub has saved our team a lot of time. For example, in a large company like Porch, if I want to know whether a specific dataset exists, I can check Data Hub, as it serves as a centralized point for managing the metadata of our data. While it does not contain all data, it does contain the metadata necessary for understanding the dataset's origin. If a dataset does not exist, I can simply see who the owner is and reach out to them, which reduces the dependency on others by providing direct access to information in Data Hub.

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.
