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.

Quotes from Members

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

"Azure's AutoML feature is probably better than the competition."
"It helps in building customized models, which are easy for clients to use​.​​"
"The product's standout feature is a robust multi-file network with limited availability."
"The product supports open-source tools."
"It is a scalable solution…It is a pretty stable solution…The solution's initial setup process was pretty straightforward."
"The drag-and-drop interface is good."
"The platform as a service provides user-friendly instruments, making the experience easy."
 

Cons

"Server up-time needs to be improved. Also, query engines like Spark and Hive need to be more stable."
"I think it would help if Data Science Studio added some more features and improved the data model."
"In terms of enhancing collaboration within my team, I would not say Dataiku is the best one because it's so expensive."
"The ability to have charts right from the explorer would be an improvement."
"The license is very expensive."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see deep learning better integrated into the tool and not simply an extension or plugin."
"There is room for improvement in terms of allowing for more code-based features."
"One area for improvement is the need for more capabilities similar to those provided by NVIDIA for parallel machine learning training. We still encounter some integration issues."
"Performance is very poor."
"Technical support could improve their turnaround time."
"The initial setup time of the containers to run the experiment is a bit long."
"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."
"Stability-wise, you may face certain problems when you fail to refresh the data in the solution."
"In future releases, I would like to see better integration with Power BI within Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio."
"Operability with R could be improved."
"Microsoft should also include more examples and tutorials for using this product.​"
 

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."
"When we got our first models and were ready for the user acceptance testing, our licensing fees were between €2,500 ($2,750 USD) and €3,000 ($3,300 USD) monthly."
"The pricing for Microsoft products can be complex due to changes and being cloud-based, so it's not straightforward. I've been familiar with it for years, but sometimes details about product licenses and distribution can be unclear. For Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio specifically, I would rate the price a six out of ten."
"The product is not that expensive."
"The licensing cost is very cheap. It's less than $50 a month."
"Last year, we paid 60,000 for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio in our department."
"There is a lack of certainty with the solution's pricing."
"I rate the product price as a nine on a scale of one to ten, where ten means it is very expensive."
"There isn’t any such expensive costs and only a standard license is required."
