Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"DataRobot can be easy to use.""We especially like the initial part of feature engineering, because feature engineering is included in most engines, but DataRobot has an excellent way of picking up the right features."

More DataRobot Pros →

"It is has a lot of good features and we find the image classification very useful.""The most valuable aspect of the solution's the cost and human labor savings.""I was particularly interested in trying the AutoML feature to see how it handles data and proposes new models. The variety of models it provides is impressive.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution ten out of ten.""The solution is very valuable to our organization due to the fact that we can work on it as a workflow.""It has improved self-service and customer satisfaction."

Cons
"If we could include our existing Python or R code in DataRobot, we could make it even better. The DataRobot that we have is specific to an industry, but most of the time we would have our own algorithms, which are specific to our own use case. If we had a way by which we could integrate our proprietary things into DataRobot with a simple integration, it would help us a lot.""The business departments will love to work with DataRobot because they use the tool to investigate their data, such as targeting what they want to investigate. They don't need any data scientists near them. They can investigate at eye level and bring into the BI tool, or can bring it to the data scientist. Data scientists can use this tool to bring increase the solution to the maximum. All the others can use it, but not to the maximum."

More DataRobot Cons →

"The supporting language is limited.""Honestly, I haven't seen any comparative report that has run the same data through two different artificial intelligence or machine learning capabilities to get something out of it. I would love to see that.""Scaling is limited in some use cases. They need to make it easier to expand in all aspects.""If I consider how we want to use it in our organization, certain areas of improvement can be addressed. For instance, we want to use it with Generative AI, not like ChatGPT, but in a way intended for industrial use.""They should add more GPU processing power to improve performance, especially when dealing with large amounts of data.""In future releases, I would like to see a more flexible environment."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We dropped the plan to use DataRobot, because we found the pricing to be on the higher sise. We liked DataRobot a lot, but due to the pricing, we dropped that idea."
  • "The price of DataRobot is good because if you take the price of the solution which is approximately $65,000, it is less than a data scientist. There are very few data scientists available."

  • "The pricing model is good."
  • "I've only been using the free tier, but it's quite competitive on a service basis."
