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.
RichardXu - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"It saves time on a lot projects. ​"
"Alteryx speeds up the time to obtain business answers/insights on data."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its performance. It is a powerful solution."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is user-friendliness."
"The tools are built-in. You just plug and play, drag and drop, once you understand how to use the tools, it is easy."
"The design portion of this tool is easy to use without code, which his something that something we can appreciate."
"The analytics are easy​."
"The drag-and-drop functionality, the ready-to-use analytics module, and the ability to track my data pipelines visually are the solution's most valuable features."
"I rate the overall product as eight out of ten."
"I like the interface, which is probably my favorite part of the solution. It is really user-friendly for an IT person."
"If many teams are collaborating and sharing Jupyter notebooks, it's very 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."
"Dataiku is highly regarded as it is a leader in the Gartner ranking."
"One of the valuable features of Dataiku is the workflow capability."
"Traceability is vital since I manage many cohorts, and collaboration is key as I have multiple engineers substituting for one another."
"I believe the return on investment looks positive."
 

Cons

"The only weakness I would say is on the visualization side of having that dynamic incapability."
"The tool could include more native connectors, such as for global ERPs, instead of requiring additional fees for these connections."
"The solution can be made more affordable."
"Alteryx can improve the model management and deployment processing of large workloads."
"The gallery could improve in Alteryx. Additionally, if there was a Conditional Join feature it would be beneficial. Since I do not have this feature I have to use Python scripts."
"There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason."
"Deep learning models are not currently supported."
"I honestly can't think of anything that needs to be improved."
"The license is very expensive."
"The license is very expensive. It would be great to have an intermediate license for basic treatments that do not require extensive experience."
"Although known for Big Data, the processing time to process 1.8 billion records was terribly slow (five days)."
"I think it would help if Data Science Studio added some more features and improved the data model."
"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."
"The technical support from Dataiku is not good. The support team does not provide adequate assistance, and there are concerns about billing requests."
"Server up-time needs to be improved. Also, query engines like Spark and Hive need to be more stable."
"I find that it is a little slow during use. It takes more time than I would expect for operations to complete."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."
"We have a yearly cost that we pay for the licensing. We do not pay any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."
"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."
"Alteryx is an expensive solution."
"The desktop platform costs $5,000 per year. It's very costly."
"If one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the tool's price as a one. The tool is expensive."
"There are some implementation services and internal effort costs at the beginning but there is nothing else."
"Pricing is pretty steep. Dataiku is also not that cheap."
"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."
