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.

A stable product that is easy to deploy and can be used for structured and unstructured data mining
We use the solution for predictive analytics to do structured and unstructured data mining I like the way the product visually shows the data pipeline. The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies. I have been using the solution for 20 years. The product is very…

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."
"Traceability is vital since I manage many cohorts, and collaboration is key as I have multiple engineers substituting for one another."
"One of the valuable features of Dataiku is the workflow capability."
"If many teams are collaborating and sharing Jupyter notebooks, it's very useful."
"I like the interface, which is probably my favorite part of the solution. It is really user-friendly for an IT person."
"I believe the return on investment looks positive."
"I rate the overall product as eight out of ten."
"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."
"The setup is straightforward. Deployment doesn't take more than 30 minutes."
"Most of the features, especially on the data analysis tool pack, are really good. The way they do clustering and output is great. You can do fairly elaborate outputs. The results, the ensembles, all of these, are fantastic."
"I like the way the product visually shows the data pipeline."
"The solution is able to handle quite large amounts of data beautifully."
"he solution is scalable."
"I found the ease of use of the solution the most valuable. Additionally, other valuable features include: the user interface, power to extract data, compatibility with other technologies (specifically with PS400), and automation of several tasks."
"The technical support is very good."
"The most valuable feature is that you can use multiple algorithms for creating models and then you can compare the results between them."
 

Cons

"The license is very expensive."
"Server up-time needs to be improved. Also, query engines like Spark and Hive need to be more stable."
"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."
"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."
"The license is very expensive. It would be great to have an intermediate license for basic treatments that do not require extensive experience."
"The ability to have charts right from the explorer would be an improvement."
"We still encounter some integration issues."
"Although known for Big Data, the processing time to process 1.8 billion records was terribly slow (five days)."
"The initial setup is challenging if doing it for the first time."
"While I don't personally need tutorials, I can't say that it wouldn't be helpful for others to have some to help them navigate and operate the system."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Virtualization could be much better."
"The solution is much more complex than other options."
"The visualization of the models is not very attractive, so the graphics should be improved."
"The ease of use can be improved. When you are new it seems a bit complex."
"The user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual."
 

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."
"This solution is for large corporations because not everybody can afford it."
"The solution must improve its licensing models."
"The solution is expensive for an individual, but for an enterprise/institution (purchasing bulk licenses), it is not a high price for the use that will come from it."
