I consider the return on investment with Dataiku valuable because for us, it is one single platform where all our data scientists come together and work on any model building, so it is collaboration, plus having everything in one place, organized, having proper project management, and then built-in capabilities which help to facilitate model building.

Cdao/Global Head Of Data And Analytics at Givaudan Roure
Unified platform has accelerated model development and improved collaborative data science work
I think Dataiku could be improved or enhanced in future releases with more 'talk to my data' capabilities, maybe more NLP features, and maybe a platform to build agents. These improvements would benefit me and my processes because they will help us to continue using Dataiku as one platform; right now we are exploring other platforms for the features which are missing, and if they are available within the same platform, I think it will increase the usage of Dataiku further. I think the pricing and licensing of Dataiku is a bit expensive; it could be improved further, and I think they should have a different kind of licensing model as well.

Platform accelerates model development, enhances collaboration, and offers efficient deployment
The best features Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio offers include deep integration with Python notebooks and Azure Data Lake, which allows me to import external data, and through the pipeline, I can build my models, performing what is called data injection for my model building, making that deep integration quite interesting to use. Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is a powerful platform for those already in the Azure ecosystem because it allows for scalability and provides a good environment for reproducibility, as well as collaboration tools, all designed and packaged in one place, which makes it outstanding. Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio has positively impacted my organization by reducing our project delivery times and increasing the pace at which we work, allowing us to focus on other more important tasks. Using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio has reduced our model development time from approximately four hours to about two hours.
