I would recommend buying this product for loan origination purposes
FICO OM is very flexible in terms of development, with rapid application development options Streamlined loan origination processes. Credit products. Two years. No. No. Below average. Straightforward. Flexible. Yes, we did. I would recommend buying this product for loan origination…

Advanced model selection and time efficiency meet needs but documentation and fusion model support are needed
Even though H2O.ai provides the best model, there could be improvements in certain areas. For instance, when you want to work with fusion models, H2O.ai doesn't provide that kind of information. Currently, it provides individual models as outcomes. If it could offer combinations of models, such as suggesting using XGBoost along with SVM for wonderful results, that fusion model concept would be a good option for developers. I hope the fusion model concept will be implemented soon in H2O.ai. Regarding documentation, I faced challenges as I didn't see much information from a documentation perspective. When I was trying to learn how to train and test H2O.ai, there was limited documentation available. If they could improve in that area, it would be really beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"FICO OM is very flexible in terms of development, with rapid application development options."
"We have seen significant ROI where we were able to use the product in certain key projects and could automate a lot of processes."
"The most valuable feature of H2O.ai is that it is plug-and-play."
"The ease of use in connecting to our cluster machines."
"H2O.ai provides better flexibility where I could examine more models and obtain results, and based on these results, I could make the next set of decisions."
"One of the most interesting features of the product is their driverless component, which allows you to test several different algorithms along with navigating you through choosing the best algorithm and gives you an interpretability capability that allows you to have some understanding of what's inside the algorithm and why it's behaving a certain way, making sure you are not biased towards the outcome."
"The most valuable features are the machine learning tools, the support for Jupyter Notebooks, and the collaboration that allows you to share it across people."
"The company is interested in using an external platform in order to have an updated environment."
"I have utilized the AutoML feature in H2O.ai, which is one of the very powerful features where you don't need to worry about which algorithm is best for your model."
 

Cons

"Customer service is below average."
"Feature engineering."
"I would like to see more features related to deployment."
"The model management features could be improved."
"It lacks the data manipulation capabilities of R and Pandas DataFrames. We would kill for dplyr offloading H2O."
"The interpretability module has room for improvement. Also, it needs to improve its ability to integrate with other systems, like SageMaker, and the overall integration capability."
"On the topic of model training and model governance, this solution cannot handle ten or twelve models running at the same time."
"H2O.ai can improve in areas like multimodal support and prompt engineering."
"Regarding documentation, I faced challenges as I didn't see much information from a documentation perspective."

What is your primary use case for H2O.ai?
I used H2O.ai on several POCs for my previous company, and it helped me find the best model. I needed to determine which model was performing better for job portal data. At that time, H2O.ai was ev...
What advice do you have for others considering H2O.ai?
For larger datasets, model computation or model training and testing typically takes considerable time because with individual models, you need to train and test each one. With H2O.ai, these concer...
