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…

Have improved machine learning model automation and reduced decision-making time
One improvement I would like to see in H2O.ai is regarding the integration capabilities with different data sources, as I've seen platforms like DataIQ and DataBricks offer great integration with various data sources. H2O.ai could benefit from enhanced integration with real-time versus offline data sources, as well as improvements in productionalization solutions, including better deployment options on platforms like Azure and CI/CD integration. One of the features I'd like to see included in upcoming releases of H2O.ai pertains to the growing trend of Generative AI, with applications for LLM-based models and vector databases. I would like to see a solution similar to Azure AI Foundry, which provides the flexibility to integrate different LLMs into applications, including H2O-GPT and other models for varied applications.

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."
"It is helpful, intuitive, and easy to use. The learning curve is not too steep."
"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 product is definitely worth looking at, as it is one of the upcoming products where you can build large models for use cases."
"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."
"AutoML helps in hands-free initial evaluations of efficiency/accuracy of ML algorithms."
"The most valuable feature of H2O.ai is that it is plug-and-play."
"We have seen significant ROI where we were able to use the product in certain key projects and could automate a lot of processes."
 

Cons

"Customer service is below average."
"H2O.ai can improve in areas like multimodal support and prompt engineering."
"It lacks the data manipulation capabilities of R and Pandas DataFrames. We would kill for dplyr offloading H2O."
"Feature engineering."
"One improvement I would like to see in H2O.ai is regarding the integration capabilities with different data sources, as I've seen platforms like DataIQ and DataBricks offer great integration with various data sources."
"Referring to bullet-3 as well, H2O DataFrame manipulation capabilities are too primitive."
"Regarding documentation, I faced challenges as I didn't see much information from a documentation perspective."
"I would like to see more features related to deployment."
"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."

What needs improvement with H2O.ai?
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. Cu...
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...
