Plug-and-play convenience enhances productivity but needs better multimodal support
We mostly used the solution in the domain that I'm working. We had most of the use cases around chatbots and conversational BI The solution was plug-and-play, meaning most of the components were handled by the solution itself rather than building them from scratch. This was useful for our banking…
Filip Stefanovski - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use with good performance and collaborative features
My main suggestion for improvement centers on pricing. Introducing a tier modelled after AWS spot instances would be a game-changer. Users could bid on unused compute capacity, potentially leading to significant cost savings during off-peak hours or for less time-critical tasks. Spot instances empower users with tighter budgets or fluctuating workloads to strategically leverage lower-cost resources for development, experimentation, and background tasks. This frees up on-demand instances for truly time-sensitive work.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 most valuable feature of H2O.ai is that it is plug-and-play."
"It is helpful, intuitive, and easy to use. The learning curve is not too steep."
"AutoML helps in hands-free initial evaluations of efficiency/accuracy of ML algorithms."
"The ease of use in connecting to our cluster machines."
"One of the most interesting features of the product is their driverless component. The driverless component allows you to test several different algorithms along with navigating you through choosing the best algorithm."
"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."
"There is plenty of computational resources (both GPU, CPU and disk space)."
"It didn't take long to see that Saturn Cloud could scale with my needs, providing more resources when required."
"Saturn Cloud supports GPU as part of the environment, which is essential for many computational tasks in machine learning projects. It also allows us to edit the environment, including the image, before we start the cloud resources. This feature lets us quickly set up the environment without the hassle of moving the data and code to another cloud device."
"It offered an excellent development environment while not touching our production cloud resources."
"The feature I like the most about Saturn Cloud is that it has lightning-fast CPUs."
"They provide a centralized space for data, code, and results."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"I would like to see more features related to deployment."
"Referring to bullet-3 as well, H2O DataFrame manipulation capabilities are too primitive."
"H2O.ai can improve in areas like multimodal support and prompt engineering."
"It needs a drag and drop GUI like KNIME, for easy access to and visibility of workflows."
"It lacks the data manipulation capabilities of R and Pandas DataFrames. We would kill for dplyr offloading H2O."
"Saturn Cloud should include prebuilt images for advanced data science packages like LightGBM in the next release. If possible, they should also provide a Kaggle image, which contains the most common Python packages used in machine learning."
"My main suggestion for improvement centers on pricing. Introducing a tier modelled after AWS spot instances would be a game-changer."
"Public Clouds integration and sandbox environments would be a true game changer."
"Providing more detailed and beginner-friendly documentation, especially for advanced features, could greatly enhance the user experience."
"It would be nice to have more hardware category options, like TPU coprocessors or ARM64 CPUs."
"We'd like to have the capability for installing more libraries."
 

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."
