Featured Reviews

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.
Laurence Moseley - PeerSpot reviewer
Delivers reliable results for academic research and keeps you close to your data.
SPSS is perfectly adequate if all you want are some results. If you only need the results, you do not require the trail of evidence on how you obtained those results. I mainly used it for cross tabs, correlation, regression, chi-squared tests, and similar analyses often seen in published papers; I used it for my papers as well. For wider uses I find Knime keeps me in touch with my data, however much I transform them.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If many teams are collaborating and sharing Jupyter notebooks, it's very useful."
"I like the interface, which is probably my favorite part of the solution. It is really user-friendly for an IT person."
"Data Science Studio's data science model is very useful."
"Our clients can easily drag and drop components and use them on the spot."
"The solution is quite stable."
"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."
"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."
"It has the ability to easily change any variable in our research."
"The most valuable features mainly include factor analysis, correlation analysis, and geographic analysis."
"Capability analysis is one of the main and valuable functions. We also do some hypothesis testing in Minitab and summary stats. These are the functions that we find very useful."
"It has helped our analyst unit deliver work with more transparency and confidence, given that we can always view the dataset in totality, after each step of data transformation."
"It is perfectly adequate if all you need are the results and not the trail of evidence."
"The SPSS interface is very accessible and user-friendly. It's really easy to get information in it. I've shared it with experts and beginners, and everyone can navigate it."
"The most valuable features are the solution is easy to use, training new users is not difficult, and our usage is comprehensive because the whole service is beneficial."
"The best part is that they have an algorithm handbook, so you can open it up and understand how it works, and if it is useful, this is very important."
 

Cons

"The ability to have charts right from the explorer would be an improvement."
"There is room for improvement in terms of allowing for more code-based features."
"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."
"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."
"Server up-time needs to be improved. Also, query engines like Spark and Hive need to be more stable."
"Dataiku still needs some coding, and that could be a difference where business data scientists would go for DataRobot more than Dataiku."
"We still encounter some integration issues."
"I think it would help if Data Science Studio added some more features and improved the data model."
"IBM SPSS Statistics does not keep you close to your data like KNIME."
"Perhaps in terms of visualization. It's not really easy to do some data visualization, just simple, descriptive analysis in SPSS. I think that could be an area for improvement."
"The reports could be better."
"This solution is not suitable for use with Big Data."
"Improvements are needed in the user interface, particularly in terms of user-friendliness."
"Better documentation on how to use macros."
"Technical support needs some improvement, as they do not respond as quickly as we would like."
"I think the visualization and charting should be changed and made easier and more effective."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The pricing of the modeler is high and can reduce the utility of the product for those who can not afford to adopt it."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."
"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
"More affordable training for new staff members."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"SPSS is an expensive piece of software because it's incredibly complex and has been refined over decades, but I would say it's fairly priced."
