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.

Good for creating POCs, training machine learning models, and experimenting without local resources
The project I’m currently working on relies on CUDA, but my local PC does not have any Nvidia GPUs. I’ve found the computational resources and ease of use provided by Saturn Cloud invaluable. Also, there are many ready-to-use Docker images and a rich documentation portal with useful examples. The dashboard for creating a new virtual environment contains almost all the features I needed: environment variable definitions, git repositories cloning directly from the new resources page, and an edit field to define a custom script during the boot process. For this reason, Saturn Cloud.io is a very good solution for creating POCs, training machine learning models, and generally experimenting a bit without worrying about local resources.

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 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."
"Our clients can easily drag and drop components and use them on the spot."
"I like the interface, which is probably my favorite part of the solution. It is really user-friendly for an IT person."
"The solution is quite stable."
"If many teams are collaborating and sharing Jupyter notebooks, it's very useful."
"I rate the overall product as eight out of ten."
"Cloud-based process run helps in not keeping the systems on while processes are running."
"One of the valuable features of Dataiku is the workflow capability."
"It didn't take long to see that Saturn Cloud could scale with my needs, providing more resources when required."
"Saturn Cloud supports GPU as part of the environment, which is essential for many computational tasks in machine learning projects. It also allows us to edit the environment, including the image, before we start the cloud resources. This feature lets us quickly set up the environment without the hassle of moving the data and code to another cloud device."
"The feature I like the most about Saturn Cloud is that it has lightning-fast CPUs."
"There is plenty of computational resources (both GPU, CPU and disk space)."
"They provide a centralized space for data, code, and results."
"It offered an excellent development environment while not touching our production cloud resources."
 

Cons

"Server up-time needs to be improved. Also, query engines like Spark and Hive need to be more stable."
"We still encounter some integration issues."
"One of the main challenges was collaboration. Developers typically use GitHub to push and manage code, but integrating GitHub with Dataiku was complicated."
"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."
"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 license is very expensive. It would be great to have an intermediate license for basic treatments that do not require extensive experience."
"I find that it is a little slow during use. It takes more time than I would expect for operations to complete."
"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."
"Saturn Cloud should include prebuilt images for advanced data science packages like LightGBM in the next release. If possible, they should also provide a Kaggle image, which contains the most common Python packages used in machine learning."
"We'd like to have the capability for installing more libraries."
"My main suggestion for improvement centers on pricing. Introducing a tier modelled after AWS spot instances would be a game-changer."
"Providing more detailed and beginner-friendly documentation, especially for advanced features, could greatly enhance the user experience."
"It would be nice to have more hardware category options, like TPU coprocessors or ARM64 CPUs."
"Public Clouds integration and sandbox environments would be a true game changer."
 

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."
