Unified platform has accelerated model development and improved collaborative data science work
I think Dataiku could be improved or enhanced in future releases with more 'talk to my data' capabilities, maybe more NLP features, and maybe a platform to build agents. These improvements would benefit me and my processes because they will help us to continue using Dataiku as one platform; right now we are exploring other platforms for the features which are missing, and if they are available within the same platform, I think it will increase the usage of Dataiku further. I think the pricing and licensing of Dataiku is a bit expensive; it could be improved further, and I think they should have a different kind of licensing model as well.

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

"I rate the overall product as eight out of ten."
"I consider the return on investment with Dataiku valuable because for us, it is one single platform where all our data scientists come together and work on any model building, so it is collaboration, plus having everything in one place, organized, having proper project management, and then built-in capabilities which help to facilitate model building."
"The best features Dataiku offers that help me with my demand forecasting and data science projects include having a complete overview of the flow directly from the flowchart, allowing me to observe all the steps in a single overview, and the ability to use a no-code, low-code node."
"One of the valuable features of Dataiku is the workflow capability."
"The best feature in Dataiku is that once the data is connected in the underneath layer, it flows exceptionally smoothly if you know how to tweak it."
"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 most valuable feature is the set of visual data preparation tools."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The feature I like the most about Saturn Cloud is that it has lightning-fast CPUs."
"It didn't take long to see that Saturn Cloud could scale with my needs, providing more resources when required."
"They provide a centralized space for data, code, and results."
"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."
"There is plenty of computational resources (both GPU, CPU and disk space)."
"It offered an excellent development environment while not touching our production cloud resources."
 

Cons

"I think the pricing and licensing of Dataiku is a bit expensive; it could be improved further, and I think they should have a different kind of licensing model as well."
"I find that it is a little slow during use. It takes more time than I would expect for operations to complete."
"I have not seen a return on investment with Dataiku in terms of time saved, money saved, or fewer employees needed."
"In terms of enhancing collaboration within my team, I would not say Dataiku is the best one because it's so expensive."
"We still encounter some integration issues."
"Dataiku's scalability is not one of the best solutions to scale."
"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."
"Server up-time needs to be improved. Also, query engines like Spark and Hive need to be more stable."
"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."
"My main suggestion for improvement centers on pricing. Introducing a tier modelled after AWS spot instances would be a game-changer."
"We'd like to have the capability for installing more libraries."
"Providing more detailed and beginner-friendly documentation, especially for advanced features, could greatly enhance the user experience."
"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."
 

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."
