Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"DataRobot can be easy to use."
"DataRobot is highly automated, allowing data scientists to build models easily."
"By automating highly technical aspects like model comparison, DataRobot enhances productivity and reduces project timelines from three months to less than one month."
"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."
"It includes a valuable feature called Discovery, that aids in application portfolio management, enabling visibility into IT infrastructure from top to bottom."
"The solution is very capable and user friendly."
"Our ROI since implementing ServiceNow ITOM has been significant."
"The solution is saving time by providing templates, reducing duplication in rule configuration, and offering efficient alert management."
"It is easy to use and simple to learn."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to track information in an easy way."
"It is a stable solution. I have not experienced any system outages during my time using the solution."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management's biggest plus point is that it is a platform, and they provide seamless integration of ITOM with their other modules such as ITSM, where we can leverage the AIs for discovery, perform impact analysis, which essentially helps to enhance the overall IT operations and reduce the downtime and MTTR."
 

Cons

"Generative AI has taken pace, and I would like to see how DataRobot assists in doing generative AI and large language models."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"An area for improvement for ServiceNow IT Operations Management is making service mapping and discovery easier for non-IP devices."
"I advise others not to customize a lot while using the solution."
"The solution's licensing model is a bit complicated. It should be simple and easy for people to understand."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is not very affordable. It is affordable for organizations with a minimum of 5,000 users plus."
"ServiceNow could be more prescriptive on how customers can leverage some of the benefits."
"Lacks the ability to do its own monitoring."
"I would like more manual issues to have automated report-facing options."
"If you are new to using the solution, you will find the setup complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"It has different subscription models."
"The solution offers yearly licenses and a subscription model for add-on features."
"The cost of ServiceNow is much higher."
"The solution is costly compared to the products offered by its competitors."
"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."
"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."
"It is moderately expensive. The pricing itself and the licensing options are depending on the model and the customization."
