Featured Reviews

Theresa McLaughlin - PeerSpot reviewer
Quick development enables seamless data processing despite occasional support issues
There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason. The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system. Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage. For instance, our licenses were temporarily lost during negotiations when an agreement couldn't be reached.

The platform organizes workflows visually and efficiently
One of the valuable features of Dataiku is the workflow capability. It allows us to organize a workflow efficiently. The platform has a visual interface, making it much easier for educated professionals to organize their work. This feature is useful because it simplifies tasks and eliminates the need for a data scientist. If you are knowledgeable about AI, you can directly write using primitive tools like Pantera flow, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn. However, Dataiku makes this process much easier.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily."
"The solution has a very strong community that is involved in the product. It helps make the usage easier and helps us find answers to our questions."
"Once we got it in-house, I knew its value."
"Alteryx is a low-code platform, and that's the biggest reason why we chose it."
"There are a lot of good customization capabilities."
"I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."
"Alteryx is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter."
"The data transformation feature is the most valuable. The ability to ingest data, visualize data, and transform that data is useful."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is one tool that can do everything, and you have the ability to very easily push your design to prediction."
"I believe the return on investment looks positive."
"The advantage is that you can focus on machine learning while having access to what they call 'recipes.' These recipes allow me to preprocess and prepare data without writing any code."
"I like the interface, which is probably my favorite part of the solution. It is really user-friendly for an IT person."
"Extremely easy to use with its GUI-based functionality and large compatibility with various data sources. Also, maintenance processes are much more automated than ever, with fewer errors."
"The solution is quite stable."
"If many teams are collaborating and sharing Jupyter notebooks, it's very useful."
"Cloud-based process run helps in not keeping the systems on while processes are running."
 

Cons

"Even when it already includes some AI models, this area could be improved."
"I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved."
"The software is not fully optimized."
"The scalability worries me a lot at the moment because the cost of the solution is high and it is not growing considerably. Unfortunately, we started during early COVID times and because of the economic downturn, all the cost cuttings, and everything, it is not growing as expected."
"It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."
"What they're struggling with is it's not as mature as Tableau in the user management area. It was tougher to manage the server part of it right away, especially since the user base has grown."
"The solution is improving continuously. They have, for example, just added automatic insights. If they continue to improve on their overall service offering, that would be ideal."
"Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage."
"Dataiku still needs some coding, and that could be a difference where business data scientists would go for DataRobot more than Dataiku."
"One area for improvement is the need for more capabilities similar to those provided by NVIDIA for parallel machine learning training. We still encounter some integration issues."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see deep learning better integrated into the tool and not simply an extension or plugin."
"We still encounter some integration issues."
"Although known for Big Data, the processing time to process 1.8 billion records was terribly slow (five days)."
"The license is very expensive. It would be great to have an intermediate license for basic treatments that do not require extensive experience."
"The interface for the web app can be a bit difficult. It needs to have better capabilities, at least for developers who like to code. This is due to the fact that everything is enabled in a single window with different tabs. For them to actually develop and do the concurrent testing that needs to be done, it takes a bit of time. That is one improvement that I would like to see - from a web app developer perspective."
"One of the main challenges was collaboration. Developers typically use GitHub to push and manage code, but integrating GitHub with Dataiku was complicated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."
"I rate the solution's pricing as a ten, as it is highly priced."
"Opt for the three year subscription. It is 20% less than the yearly one."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else."
"In my opinion, it's actually quite expensive."
"We use the free version of the solution. There are enterprise licenses available. It cost approximately $5,000 annually. It is an expensive solution and there are additional features that cost more money."
"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."
"The annual licensing fees are approximately €20 ($22 USD) per key for the basic version and €40 ($44 USD) per key for the version with everything."
"Pricing is pretty steep. Dataiku is also not that cheap."
