Provides all the frameworks and makes it easy to create environments for multiple projects
The best thing is that it provides all the frameworks and makes it easy to create environments for multiple projects using Anaconda. It is easy for a beginner to learn to use Anaconda. Comparatively, it is easier than using virtual environments or other environments because of the Conda environment. However, there are many things in Anaconda that people need to be aware of, so it can be challenging.
Sabrine Bendimerad - PeerSpot reviewer
Saves a lot of time because I can quickly handle all the data preparation tasks and concentrate on building my machine learning algorithms
One of the main challenges was collaboration. Developers typically use GitHub to push and manage code, but integrating GitHub with Dataiku was complicated. While it was theoretically possible to use GitHub with Dataiku, in practice, it was difficult to manage our code effectively and push it from Dataiku to GitHub. Another limitation was its ability to handle different types of data. While Dataiku is powerful for working with structured data, like regular or geospatial data, it struggled with more complex data types such as text and image. In addition to the challenges with GitHub integration, the limited support for diverse data types was another feature lacking at that time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable."
"I can use Anaconda for non-heavy tasks."
"It has a lot of functionality available, supports many libraries, and the developers are continually improving it."
"The best part of Anaconda is the media distribution that comes as part of it. It gets us started very quickly."
"The most advantageous feature is the logic building."
"The notebook feature is an improvement over RStudio."
"The virtual environment is very good."
"It provides a unified platform where you can install Jupyter, Python Spider, and other related tools without needing separate installations."
"The solution is quite stable."
"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."
"Data Science Studio's data science model is very useful."
"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 rate the overall product as eight out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the set of visual data preparation tools."
"Cloud-based process run helps in not keeping the systems on while processes are running."
"If many teams are collaborating and sharing Jupyter notebooks, it's very useful."
 

Cons

"Anaconda can't handle heavy workloads."
"I think that the framework can be improved to make it easier for people to discover and use things on their own."
"One thing that hurts the product is that the company is not doing more to advertise it as a solution and make it more well known."
"Having a small guide or video on the tool would help learn how to use it and what the features are."
"A lot of people and companies are investing in creating automated data cleaning and processing environments. Anaconda is a bit behind in that area."
"The interface could be improved. Other solutions, like Visual Studio, have much better UI."
"The solution would benefit from offering more automation."
"Anaconda consumes a significant amount of processing memory when working on it."
"I find that it is a little slow during use. It takes more time than I would expect for operations to complete."
"The license is very expensive. It would be great to have an intermediate license for basic treatments that do not require extensive experience."
"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."
"The license is very expensive."
"I think it would help if Data Science Studio added some more features and improved the data model."
"Dataiku still needs some coding, and that could be a difference where business data scientists would go for DataRobot more than Dataiku."
"There were stability issues: 1) SQL operations, such as partitioning, had bugs and showed wrong results. 2) Due to server downtime, scheduled processes used to fail. 3) Access to project folders was compromised (privacy issue) with wrong people getting access to confidential project folders."
"Although known for Big Data, the processing time to process 1.8 billion records was terribly slow (five days)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is open-source and free to use."
"Anaconda is free to use, but in terms of hardware costs, you might need heavy GPUs to run CUDA and other demanding tasks."
"My company uses the free version of the tool. There is also a paid version of the tool available."
"The licensing costs for Anaconda are reasonable."
"The tool is open-source."
"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."
