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.

Streamlined workflows with drag and drop convenience but needs enhancements in AI
I use Machine Learning Studio for system reselling and integration Machine Learning Studio is easy to use, with a significant feature being the drag and drop interface that enhances workflow without any complaints. It provides a return on investment and cost savings, proving beneficial for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloud-based process run helps in not keeping the systems on while processes are running."
"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."
"I believe the return on investment looks positive."
"One of the valuable features of Dataiku is the workflow capability."
"The most valuable feature is the set of visual data preparation tools."
"Extremely easy to use with its GUI-based functionality and large compatibility with various data sources. Also, maintenance processes are much more automated than ever, with fewer errors."
"I like the interface, which is probably my favorite part of the solution. It is really user-friendly for an IT person."
"I rate the overall product as eight out of ten."
"It is a scalable solution…It is a pretty stable solution…The solution's initial setup process was pretty straightforward."
"The learning curve is very low. Operationalizing the model is also very easy within the Azure ecosystem."
"Azure Machine Learning Studio's most valuable features are the package from Azure AutoML. It is quite powerful compared to the building of ML in Databricks or other AutoMLs from other companies, such as Google and Amazon."
"​It has helped in reducing the time involved for coding using R and/or Python."
"It is very easy to test different kinds of machine-learning algorithms with different parameters. You choose the algorithm, drag and drop to the workspace, and plug the dataset into this component."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio is the ease of use for starting projects. It's simple to connect and view the results. Additionally, the solution works well with other Microsoft solutions, such as Power Automate or SQL Server. It is easy to use and to connect for analytics."
"ML Studio is very easy to maintain."
"The product's standout feature is a robust multi-file network with limited availability."
 

Cons

"I think it would help if Data Science Studio added some more features and improved the data model."
"Although known for Big Data, the processing time to process 1.8 billion records was terribly slow (five days)."
"The ability to have charts right from the explorer would be an improvement."
"I find that it is a little slow during use. It takes more time than I would expect for operations to complete."
"The license is very expensive."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of allowing for more code-based features."
"Dataiku still needs some coding, and that could be a difference where business data scientists would go for DataRobot more than Dataiku."
"The platform's integration feature could be better."
"Easier customization and configuration would be beneficial."
"The data preparation capabilities need to be improved."
"One problem I experience is that switching between multiple accounts can be difficult. I don't think there are any major issues. Mostly, the biggest challenge is to identify business solutions to this. The tool should keep on updating new algorithms and not stay static."
"I would like to see modules to handle Deep Learning frameworks."
"The data cleaning functionality is something that could be better and needs to be improved."
"Improvement in integration is crucial, and it'll be interesting to see how it develops, especially with SAP's move towards cloud-based solutions like SAP Rise and its collaboration with hyper scalers like AWS. Integrating SAP with hyperscaler machine learning solutions could simplify operations, although SAP's environment is complex. SAP has initiated deals with AWS for this purpose, but I'm not as familiar with Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio's involvement."
"Machine Learning Studio is more dependent on legacy Machine Learning algorithms. It would be beneficial for them to incorporate more services required for LLMs or LLM evaluation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Pricing is pretty steep. Dataiku is also not that cheap."
"The solution cost is high."
"My team didn't deal with the licensing for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, so I'm unable to comment on pricing, but the money that was spent on the tool was worth it."
"The platform's price is low."
"There is a lack of certainty with the solution's pricing."
"ML Studio's pricing becomes a numbers game."
"I rate the solution's pricing a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I am paying for it following a pay-as-you-go. So, the more I use it, the more it costs."
"In terms of pricing, for any cloud solution, you should know the tricks of the trade and how to use it, otherwise, you'll end up paying a lot of money irrespective of the cloud provider, so at least for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio pricing versus AWS, I would rate it three out of five, with one being the most expensive, and five being the cheapest. It could be cheaper, but you also have to be careful when choosing the plans, for example, consider the architecture and a lot of other factors before choosing your plan, if you don't want to end up paying more. If your cloud provider has an optimizer that seems to be available in every provider, that would keep alerting you in terms of resources not being used as much, then that would help you with budgeting."
