Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The infrastructure is highly reliable and efficient, contributing to a positive experience.""Google Cloud Datalab is very customizable.""In MLOps, when we are designing the data pipeline, the designing of the data pipeline is easy in Google Cloud.""The APIs are valuable.""All of the features of this product are quite good."

More Google Cloud Datalab Pros →

"It's very easy to use. The drag and drop feature makes it very easy when you are building and testing the streams. That's very useful.""We are creating models and putting them into production much faster than we would if we had just gone with a strict, code-based solution, like R or Python.""It’s definitely scalable, it’s all on the same platform, it’s well integrated. I think the integration is important in terms of scalablility because essentially, having the entire suite helps a lot to scale it""It will scale up to anything we need.""The ease of use in the user interface is the best part of it. The ability to customize some of my streams with R and Python has been very useful to me, I've automated a few things with that.""It scales. I have not run into any challenges where it will not perform.​""Automated modelling, classification, or clustering are very useful.""In the solution, I like the virtualization of data flow since it shows what goes where, which is mostly the strength of the tool."

Cons
"We have also encountered challenges during our transition period in terms of data control and segmentation. The management of each channel and data structure as it has its own unique characteristics requires very detailed and precise control. The allocation should be appropriate and the complexity increases due to the different time zones and geographic locations of our clients. The process usually involves migrating the existing database sets to gcp and ensure data integrity is maintained. This is the only challenge that we faced while navigating the integers of the solution and honestly it was an interesting and unique experience.""There is room for improvement in the graphical user interface. So that the initial user would use it properly, that would be a good option.""The interface should be more user-friendly.""Connectivity challenges for end-users, particularly when loading data, environments, and libraries, need to be addressed for an enhanced user experience.""The product must be made more user-friendly."

More Google Cloud Datalab Cons →

"The product does not have a search function for tags.""Neural networks are quite simple, and now neural networks are evolving to these architecture related to deep learning, etc. They didn't incorporate this in IBM SPSS Modeler.""C&DS will not meet our scalability needs.""The integration with sources and visualisation needs some improvement. The scalability needs improvement.""The challenge for the very technical data scientists: It is constraining for them.​""It would be good if IBM added help resources to the interface.""The forecasting could be a bit easier.""It is not integrated with Qlik, Tableau, and Power BI."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is affordable for us because we have a limited number of users."
  • "The pricing is quite reasonable, and I would give it a rating of four out of ten."
  • "The product is cheap."
  • More Google Cloud Datalab Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Having in mind all four tools from Garner’s top quadrant, the pricing of this tool is competitive and it reflects the quality that it offers."
  • "If you are in a university and the license is free then you can use the tool without any charges, which is good."
  • "It is a huge increase to time savings."
  • "The scalability was kind of limited by our ability to get other people licenses, and that was usually more of a financial constraint. It's expensive, but it's a good tool."
  • "When you are close to end of quarter, IBM and its partners can get you 60% to 70% discounts, so literally wait for the last day of the quarter for the best prices. You may feel like you are getting robbed if you can't receive a good discount."
  • "It got us a good amount of money with quick and efficient modeling."
  • "$5,000 annually."
  • "This tool, being an IBM product, is pretty expensive."
