Easy to manage jobs and see the logs if there's any drift in a model, user-friendly, and the data munching is fast
I did a proof of concept (POC) at DISH Wireless (company name) before they were about to sign a contract. Currently, I'm working on another POC I used DataRobot extensively at DISH Wireless (my previous company). It's very user-friendly, and the data munching is fast. They have another product…

Intuitive, drag-and-drop interface, offers ability to easily search for things, and many features are built-in
Everything in Azure is very intuitive. As a Microsoft product, it's designed that way. You can easily search for things, and many features are built-in. Many things can be easily done via drag-and-drop. We often use custom code that we can template or create as boilerplate code for different teams. It sounds difficult, but Azure makes it very easy. The learning curve is very low. Operationalizing the model is also very easy within the Azure ecosystem. The drag-and-drop interface specifically improves our workflow a lot. Designer simplifies the process when we want to create a quick model. It makes things very, very easy. It's a great starting point. When we want to create models, model management and deployment are crucial. We had boilerplate code ready, and Azure made it significantly easier to deploy using its services. That was the easy part.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"DataRobot can be easy to use."
"It's easy to do MLOps operations. It's a lot easier to manage jobs and see the logs if there's any drift in a model."
"We especially like the initial part of feature engineering, because feature engineering is included in most engines, but DataRobot has an excellent way of picking up the right features."
"It's a great option if you are fairly new and don't want to write too much code."
"ML Studio is very easy to maintain."
"The product's standout feature is a robust multi-file network with limited availability."
"The graphical nature of the output makes it very easy to create PowerPoint reports as well."
"I like being able to compare results across different training runs. The hyperparameter tuning function is a valuable feature because it provides the ability to run multiple experiments at the same time and compare results."
"The solution's most beneficial feature is its integration with Azure."
"The UI is very user-friendly and that AI is easy to use."
"The ability to do the templating and be able to transfer it so that I can easily do multiple types of models and data mining is a valuable aspect of this solution. You only have to set up the flows, the templates, and the data once and then you can make modifications and test different segmentations throughout."
 

Cons

"The business departments will love to work with DataRobot because they use the tool to investigate their data, such as targeting what they want to investigate. They don't need any data scientists near them. They can investigate at eye level and bring into the BI tool, or can bring it to the data scientist. Data scientists can use this tool to bring increase the solution to the maximum. All the others can use it, but not to the maximum."
"Generative AI has taken pace, and I would like to see how DataRobot assists in doing generative AI and large language models."
"If we could include our existing Python or R code in DataRobot, we could make it even better. The DataRobot that we have is specific to an industry, but most of the time we would have our own algorithms, which are specific to our own use case. If we had a way by which we could integrate our proprietary things into DataRobot with a simple integration, it would help us a lot."
"I personally would prefer if data could be tunneled to my model through a SAP ERP system, and have features of Excel, such as Pivot Tables, integrated."
"It would be great if the solution integrated Microsoft Copilot, its AI helper."
"Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio worked okay for me, so right now, I don't have any room for improvement in mind for it. What I'd like added to Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio in its next version is a categorization for use cases or a template that makes the use cases simple to map out, for example, for healthcare, medical, or finance use cases, etc. This would be very helpful for users of Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, especially for beginners."
"Enable creating ensemble models easier, adding more machine learning algorithms."
"The initial setup time of the containers to run the experiment is a bit long."
"Overall, the icons in the solution could be improved to provide better guidance to users. Additionally, the setup process for the solution could be made easier."
"There's room for improvement in terms of binding the integration with Azure DevOps."
"n the solution, there is the concept of workspaces, and there is no means to share the computing infrastructure across those workspaces."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We dropped the plan to use DataRobot, because we found the pricing to be on the higher sise. We liked DataRobot a lot, but due to the pricing, we dropped that idea."
"The price of DataRobot is good because if you take the price of the solution which is approximately $65,000, it is less than a data scientist. There are very few data scientists available."
"I rate the solution's pricing a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"ML Studio's pricing becomes a numbers game."
"My team didn't deal with the licensing for Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio, so I'm unable to comment on pricing, but the money that was spent on the tool was worth it."
"The licensing cost is very cheap. It's less than $50 a month."
"To use MLS is fairly cheap. Even the paid account is something like $20/month, unless you are provisioning large numbers of VMs for a Hadoop cluster. The main MS makes money with this solution is forcing the user to deploy their model on REST API, and being charged each time the API is accessed. There are several pricing tiers for the API. If you do not use the API, then value of MLS is to create rapid experiments ($20/month). The resulting model is not exportable to use, thus you’ll have to recreate the algorithms in either R or Python, which is what I did. MLS results gave me a direction to work with, the actual work is mostly done in R and Python outside of MLS."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being very expensive. Not very expensive, not very cheap."
"I used the free student license for a few months to operate the solution, but I'll have to pay for it if I want to do more now."
"The product is not that expensive."
