The platform organizes workflows visually and efficiently
One of the valuable features of Dataiku is the workflow capability. It allows us to organize a workflow efficiently. The platform has a visual interface, making it much easier for educated professionals to organize their work. This feature is useful because it simplifies tasks and eliminates the need for a data scientist. If you are knowledgeable about AI, you can directly write using primitive tools like Pantera flow, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn. However, Dataiku makes this process much easier.

Solution offers quick data connection with an edge in computation
It's almost similar, yet it's better than Starburst in spinning up or connecting to the new source since it's on SaaS. It is a similar experience between the based application and cloud-based application. You just get the source, connect the data, get visualization, get connected, and do whatever you want. They say data reflection is one way where they do the caching and all that. Starburst also does the caching. In Starburst, you have a data product. Here, the data product comes from a reflection perspective. The y are working on a columnar memory map, columnar computation. That will have some edge in computation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our clients can easily drag and drop components and use them on the spot."
"I like the interface, which is probably my favorite part of the solution. It is really user-friendly for an IT person."
"The advantage is that you can focus on machine learning while having access to what they call 'recipes.' These recipes allow me to preprocess and prepare data without writing any code."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is one tool that can do everything, and you have the ability to very easily push your design to prediction."
"I rate the overall product as eight out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the set of visual data preparation tools."
"Cloud-based process run helps in not keeping the systems on while processes are running."
"The solution is quite stable."
"Overall, you can rate it as eight out of ten."
"Dremio allows querying the files I have on my block storage or object storage."
"The most valuable feature of Dremio is it can sit on top of any other data storage, such as Amazon S3, Azure Data Factory, SGFS, or Hive. The memory competition is good. If you are running any kind of materialized view, you'd be running in memory."
"Everyone uses Dremio in my company; some use it only for the analytics function."
"Dremio enables you to manage changes more effectively than any other data warehouse platform. There are two things that come into play. One is data lineage. If you are looking at data in Dremio, you may want to know the source and what happened to it along the way or how it may have been transformed in the data pipeline to get to the point where you're consuming it."
"Dremio gives you the ability to create services which do not require additional resources and sterilization."
"Dremio is very easy to use for building queries."
"It's almost similar, yet it's better than Starburst in spinning up or connecting to the new source since it's on SaaS."
 

Cons

"The ability to have charts right from the explorer would be an improvement."
"One of the main challenges was collaboration. Developers typically use GitHub to push and manage code, but integrating GitHub with Dataiku was complicated."
"Dataiku still needs some coding, and that could be a difference where business data scientists would go for DataRobot more than Dataiku."
"The interface for the web app can be a bit difficult. It needs to have better capabilities, at least for developers who like to code. This is due to the fact that everything is enabled in a single window with different tabs. For them to actually develop and do the concurrent testing that needs to be done, it takes a bit of time. That is one improvement that I would like to see - from a web app developer perspective."
"Server up-time needs to be improved. Also, query engines like Spark and Hive need to be more stable."
"There is room for improvement in terms of allowing for more code-based features."
"We still encounter some integration issues."
"I think it would help if Data Science Studio added some more features and improved the data model."
"They need to have multiple connectors."
"Dremio takes a long time to execute large queries or the executing of correlated queries or nested queries. Additionally, the solution could improve if we could read data from the streaming pipelines or if it allowed us to create the ETL pipeline directly on top of it, similar to Snowflake."
"They need to have multiple connectors. Starburst is rich in connectors, however, they are lacking Salesforce connectivity as of today."
"It shows errors sometimes."
"Dremio doesn't support the Delta connector. Dremio writes the IT support for Delta, but the support isn't great. There is definitely room for improvement."
"We've faced a challenge with integrating Dremio and Databricks, specifically regarding authentication. It is not shaking hands very easily."
"There are performance issues at times due to our limited experience with Dremio, and the fact that we are running it on single nodes using a community version."
"I cannot use the recursive common table expression (CTE) in Dremio because the support page says it's currently unsupported."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is pretty steep. Dataiku is also not that cheap."
"The annual licensing fees are approximately €20 ($22 USD) per key for the basic version and €40 ($44 USD) per key for the version with everything."
"Dremio is less costly competitively to Snowflake or any other tool."
"Right now the cluster costs approximately $200,000 per month and is based on the volume of data we have."
