Automating model comparison speeds up development and reduces timelines
DataRobot is equipped with a GUI-based approach that simplifies the process of feature engineering and model training. It provides AutoML capabilities, which allow for comparing thousands of models and selecting the best-suited one based on business requirements. By automating highly technical aspects like model comparison, DataRobot enhances productivity and reduces project timelines from three months to less than one month.

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."
"DataRobot is highly automated, allowing data scientists to build models easily."
"It's easy to do MLOps operations. It's a lot easier to manage jobs and see the logs if there's any drift in a model."
"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."
"By automating highly technical aspects like model comparison, DataRobot enhances productivity and reduces project timelines from three months to less than one month."
"Their Event Management is very good."
"The end-to-end ticketing process is most valuable in ServiceNow IT Operations Management because its notification feature is excellent in keeping all users informed on the next step compared to BMC. I also like that ServiceNow IT Operations Management is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is the user interface."
"It includes a valuable feature called Discovery, that aids in application portfolio management, enabling visibility into IT infrastructure from top to bottom."
"It's easy to set up."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is beneficial for the discovery of all CIs in our environment."
"Has service mapping, impact management, metric intelligence and health of analytics."
"I like the solution due to the fact that it's scalable."
 

Cons

"Generative AI has taken pace, and I would like to see how DataRobot assists in doing generative AI and large language models."
"There are some performance issues."
"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."
"DataRobot is a UI-based tool, which means it cannot provide all the features I might manually implement through notebooks or Python. In this aspect, I see room for improvement in its functionality."
"When it comes to improvements, I think that my colleagues and I often have issues finding the correct screen and the search box does not work as intended."
"Service mapping is pretty limited."
"Service Mapping is a time-consuming process. The time and effort versus the benefits are very difficult to articulate to customers."
"I believe that technical support could improve a bit. I would rate it a six."
"The tool can be improved by including more detailed information to assist new users."
"At times, it got cumbersome from the project management perspective. It could have been because of the way we were using it. I found Microsoft Project to be more extensive and robust than ITOM."
"The pricing of some modules is higher because they are sold in packages. If we need something specific, we cannot take it individually."
"We are facing difficulties with service mapping of CIs from the end users, and are seeking help from third-party vendors."
 

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."
"There are additional costs, you have to pay more for everything."
"The price of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is expensive."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a costly solution. I'd rate the price at ten, on a scale from one to ten with one being the lowest and ten being the highest price. Some clients do have a problem with the price, but most find that the solution is worth the cost."
"The pricing is high and may be excluding the small to medium-sized enterprise businesses."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten since there are vendors who are cheaper."
"It is moderately expensive. The pricing itself and the licensing options are depending on the model and the customization."
"It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
"My customers pay for the ServiceNow IT Operations Management license annually. I'd rate the pricing based on value. ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a premium product as it has better features than competitors."
