We performed a comparison between Google Cloud Datalab and IBM Watson Studio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Science Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"All of the features of this product are quite good."
"The APIs are valuable."
"The infrastructure is highly reliable and efficient, contributing to a positive experience."
"It has a lot of data connectors, which is extremely helpful."
"The system's ability to take a look at data, segment it and then use that data very differently."
"Technical support is great. We have had weekly teleconferences with the technical people at IBM, and they have been fantastic."
"IBM Watson Studio consistently automates across channels."
"The most important thing is that it's a multi-faceted solution. It's a kind of specialist, not a generalist. It can produce very specific information for the customer. It's totally different from Google or any search engine that produces generic information. It's specialty is that it's all on video."
"For me, the valuable feature of the solution is the one that I used, which was Jupyter notebooks."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"Stability-wise, it is a great tool."
"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."
"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."
"The interface should be more user-friendly."
"The product must be made more user-friendly."
"Connectivity challenges for end-users, particularly when loading data, environments, and libraries, need to be addressed for an enhanced user experience."
"I want IBM's technical support team to provide more specific answers to queries."
"More features in data virtualization would be helpful. The solution could use an interactive dashboard that could make exploration easier."
"We would like to see it more web-based with more functionality."
"The main challenge lies in visibility and ease of use."
"The solution's interface is very slow at times."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Some of the solutions are really good solutions but they can be a little too costly for many."
"So a better user interface could be very helpful"
