Abhay Vyas - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Architect Data Engineering at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees
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.

Executive at Empowered Analytics
Enables us to forecast and pull trends and has an easy installation
My rating for SAP Predictive Analytics would be an eight out of ten. If I have to be bold, I'll probably say that we're building away hours, and we are actually putting a lot of the actual predicting stuff back into the warehouse. So running it very bi-directionally. So I'm not sure what its integration features are at the moment, but that's an area we're going to look into in the next month or so.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The company is interested in using an external platform in order to have an updated environment."
"The most valuable feature of H2O.ai is that it is plug-and-play."
"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."
"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 product is definitely worth looking at, as it is one of the upcoming products where you can build large models for use cases."
"AutoML helps in hands-free initial evaluations of efficiency/accuracy of ML algorithms."
"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."
"Fast training, memory-efficient DataFrame manipulation, well-documented, easy-to-use algorithms, ability to integrate with enterprise Java apps (through POJO/MOJO) are the main reasons why we switched from Spark to H2O."
"We always purchase SAP support because it is very good."
"I have found that the solution is very stable."
"SAP Predictive Analytics is better suited for business users because it hides the complexity of the model, whereas Microsoft Azure Machine Learning provides a lot more flexibility for technical professionals to tweak the model."
"I think the features of the actual ability to forecast and pull trends and correlations has been really good."
"The most valuable features are the analytics and reporting."
 

Cons

"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."
"It lacks the data manipulation capabilities of R and Pandas DataFrames. We would kill for dplyr offloading H2O."
"The model management features could be improved."
"On the topic of model training and model governance, this solution cannot handle ten or twelve models running at the same time."
"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."
"It needs a drag and drop GUI like KNIME, for easy access to and visibility of workflows."
"H2O.ai can improve in areas like multimodal support and prompt engineering."
"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."
"The license fee appears to be prohibitively expensive and overly secretive, leading our clients to opt for cloud-based solutions that only charge for data storage and processing time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have seen significant ROI where we were able to use the product in certain key projects and could automate a lot of processes. We were even able to reduce staff."
"The pricing is reasonable"
"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."

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...
