Visual workflows have streamlined healthcare analytics and have reduced reporting time significantly
In terms of improvement, I cannot comment on the LLMs or the agentic view as I have not used them yet. However, I feel that better documentation is necessary. Dataiku should establish a stronger community since this is proprietary software, where users can share knowledge. Although they have some community interaction, it is often challenging to find assistance when stuck. For example, when I was new to Dataiku and trying to use an external optimization tool such as CPLEX, I struggled with resource directory linking to a project's notebook. Detailed documentation and community discussions could have significantly alleviated these issues for users such as myself.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support is really, really good."
"Compared to Informatica, this tool is extremely easy with its GUI-based functionality and large compatibility with various data sources, and maintenance processes are much more automated than ever, with fewer errors."
"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."
"Using Dataiku has meant that we spend less time on preparing and cleaning data, and we spend less time on blending models together, ultimately meaning that we can spend more time modeling."
"I rate the overall product as eight out of ten."
"Dataiku is really a very intuitive platform that allows you to carry out data projects from end to end, with the opportunity to reuse templates, models, and recipes, which is one of the big advantages of using it."
"One of the valuable features of Dataiku is the workflow capability."
"Dataiku has positively impacted my organization, specifically in one project where we performed migration from AWS to Dataiku, speeding up the solution by close to 40% and reducing architecture costs by almost 70%, which was a significant benefit and greatly impacted our operations."
"SAS internal support is very qualified and if we have any issues, we contact them and trust that they can help."
"Good data management and analytics."
"I found the ease of use of the solution the most valuable."
"I like the way the product visually shows the data pipeline."
"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 most valuable feature is the decision tree creation."
"Overall it is a good solution."
"he solution is scalable."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in terms of allowing for more code-based features."
"The ability to have charts right from the explorer would be an improvement."
"Maybe on the interface in general, the information can easily get lost."
"I would like to have better exclusion of data capability."
"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."
"Dataiku is down a lot of times, and we have to wait for sometimes five, ten, or fifteen minutes, after which it gets working again, and during those times, we are unable to get our work done."
"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."
"I have not seen a return on investment with Dataiku in terms of time saved, money saved, or fewer employees needed."
"The user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual."
"Virtualization could be much better."
"The stability isn't perfect. We have issues with accuracy in some AI forecasting areas, and the accuracy is not as good as the clients need it to be."
"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."
"The preparation of both the mining and modeling process could be improved. The solution requires data and will reflect data, but the preparation of the data is not useful for end-users; we ended up having to do the preparation in another tool."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Plus it is prohibitively expensive and is not available with perpetual licensing."
"The visualization of the models is not very attractive, so the graphics should be improved."
 

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."
