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:

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the set of visual data preparation tools."

"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."

"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."

More Dataiku pros

"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 solution is very good for data mining or any mining issues."

"The technical support is very good."

"The most valuable feature is the decision tree creation."

Cons

"The license is very expensive. It would be great to have an intermediate license for basic treatments that do not require extensive experience."

"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."

"Dataiku still needs some coding, and that could be a difference where business data scientists would go for DataRobot more than Dataiku."

"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."

"The technical support from Dataiku is not good. The support team does not provide adequate assistance, and there are concerns about billing requests."

"There is room for improvement in terms of allowing for more code-based features."

"The license is very expensive."

"There were stability issues: 1) SQL operations, such as partitioning, had bugs and showed wrong results. 2) Due to server downtime, scheduled processes used to fail. 3) Access to project folders was compromised (privacy issue) with wrong people getting access to confidential project folders."

More Dataiku cons

"The solution is much more complex than other options."

"The solution is very stable, but we do have some problems with discrepancies involving SAS not matching with the latest Java versions. It's not stable in cases where SAS tries to run on a different version because SAS doesn't connect with the latest Java update. Once a month we need to restart systems from scratch."

"Technical support could be improved."

"Virtualization could be much better."

"The user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual."

"The initial setup is challenging if doing it for the first time."

"The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies."

"The solution needs an easier interface for the user. The user experience isn't so easy for our clients."

More SAS Enterprise Miner cons

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 must improve its licensing models."

"This solution is for large corporations because not everybody can afford it."

"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."
