Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""DataRobot can be easy to use."

Cons
"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.""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."

More DataRobot Cons →

"The initial setup was complex.""The main challenge lies in visibility and ease of use.""I think maybe the support is an area where it lacks.""We would like to see it less as one big, massive product, but more based on smaller services that we can then roll out to consumers.""Watson Studio would be improved with a clearer path for the deployment of docker images.""The decision making in their decision making feature is less good than other options.""Initially, it was quite complex. For us, it was not only a matter of getting it installed, that was just a start. It was also trying to come up with a standard way of implementing it across the entire organization, which had been a challenge.""More features in data virtualization would be helpful. The solution could use an interactive dashboard that could make exploration easier."

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."
  • More DataRobot Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Watson Studio's pricing is reasonable for what you get."
  • "IBM Watson Studio is a reasonably priced product"
  • "IBM Watson Studio is an expensive solution."
  • "The pricing is generally reasonable and straightforward but can vary significantly depending on the specific workloads in use."

    Top Answer:From an improvement perspective, I would say that if the deployment environment and IBM Watson Studio's environment are separated, then it would be good. I would like them to be one and offer users a… more »
