We performed a comparison between Anaplan and DataRobot based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, SAP, RapidMiner and others in Predictive Analytics."This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."
"It's highly flexible. If you've got a complex environment with complex calculations, you can build that out. So that's a really good positive."
"Anaplan's strongest feature is that its GUI is very modern and user-friendly."
"You don't need to have a programming language to use Anaplan."
"The solution works very well for budgeting."
"I believe Anaplan is a new cloud tool, and from time to time, there's a lot of improvement that the Anaplan company deploys with the system. So, with that improvement, we need to really adapt and know the new system trends."
"It's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"Where we're seeing the opportunity in the market is at the Fortune 100 companies that have far more complex modeling type scenarios where you need to be able to have a lot of people collaborating together, and you need a lot of information all at everyone's fingertips. This is where you see the big advantage of a solution like Anaplan."
"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."
"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."
"The dashboard could be better. Because within a dashboard or report, you have to do a lot of scrolling. You need to scroll down because the table doesn't fit in a single view. That's why even the users aren't happy with that kind of user experience. They need to scroll to see all the data, and it could be better if it fits in just one page. That way, you can see everything. In the next release, I want automation that's connected to Anaplan. For example, to load master data from SAP to Anaplan. I don't know if this already exists, but a log where you can see the progress and see if there's an error will also help. It would be better to give you the error message, for example, if there is an error within the automated process importing to Anaplan."
"The visualization tools in the product are limited in comparison to other reporting tools."
"There are workspace issues, like the limitation on model sizes."
"The integration technique should be a little bit easier."
"The solution could improve by better dashboards and while entering the form loss and project implementation the ability to use graphical shapes more effectively."
"When there is a lot of data, it sometimes takes long to load."
"One area of improvement is conditional formatting. It's not very practical, and you need to specify additional formatting."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"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."
"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."
"Generative AI has taken pace, and I would like to see how DataRobot assists in doing generative AI and large language models."
