A stable product that is easy to deploy and can be used for structured and unstructured data mining
We use the solution for predictive analytics to do structured and unstructured data mining I like the way the product visually shows the data pipeline. The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies. I have been using the solution for 20 years. The product is very…

Good for creating POCs, training machine learning models, and experimenting without local resources
The project I’m currently working on relies on CUDA, but my local PC does not have any Nvidia GPUs. I’ve found the computational resources and ease of use provided by Saturn Cloud invaluable. Also, there are many ready-to-use Docker images and a rich documentation portal with useful examples. The dashboard for creating a new virtual environment contains almost all the features I needed: environment variable definitions, git repositories cloning directly from the new resources page, and an edit field to define a custom script during the boot process. For this reason, Saturn Cloud.io is a very good solution for creating POCs, training machine learning models, and generally experimenting a bit without worrying about local resources.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the way the product visually shows the data pipeline."
"Most of the features, especially on the data analysis tool pack, are really good. The way they do clustering and output is great. You can do fairly elaborate outputs. The results, the ensembles, all of these, are fantastic."
"The solution is able to handle quite large amounts of data beautifully."
"he solution is scalable."
"The setup is straightforward. Deployment doesn't take more than 30 minutes."
"I found the ease of use of the solution the most valuable. Additionally, other valuable features include: the user interface, power to extract data, compatibility with other technologies (specifically with PS400), and automation of several tasks."
"The most valuable feature is that you can use multiple algorithms for creating models and then you can compare the results between them."
"The most valuable feature is the decision tree creation."
"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."
"There is plenty of computational resources (both GPU, CPU and disk space)."
"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."
"They provide a centralized space for data, code, and results."
"It didn't take long to see that Saturn Cloud could scale with my needs, providing more resources when required."
 

Cons

"While I don't personally need tutorials, I can't say that it wouldn't be helpful for others to have some to help them navigate and operate the system."
"The ease of use can be improved. When you are new it seems a bit complex."
"The initial setup is challenging if doing it for the first time."
"The solution needs an easier interface for the user. The user experience isn't so easy for our clients."
"The visualization of the models is not very attractive, so the graphics should be improved."
"Virtualization could be much better."
"The user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual."
"The solution is much more complex than other options."
"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."
"Providing more detailed and beginner-friendly documentation, especially for advanced features, could greatly enhance the user experience."
"We'd like to have the capability for installing more libraries."
"My main suggestion for improvement centers on pricing. Introducing a tier modelled after AWS spot instances would be a game-changer."
"It would be nice to have more hardware category options, like TPU coprocessors or ARM64 CPUs."
"Public Clouds integration and sandbox environments would be a true game changer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is for large corporations because not everybody can afford it."
"The solution is expensive for an individual, but for an enterprise/institution (purchasing bulk licenses), it is not a high price for the use that will come from it."
"The solution must improve its licensing models."
