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.

Comprehensive data analysis capabilities with a user-friendly interface, providing an efficient and reliable platform for researchers and analysts
I believe that offering short-term SPSS licenses, perhaps when customer sourcing is available, could make it more affordable. These licenses shouldn't include features tailored for universities or large sales organizations. Instead, they could offer discounts or additional facilities for smaller entities to access the software. In developing countries, it would be beneficial to provide certain features to users at no cost initially, while also customizing pricing options. For example, offering basic features to the first hundred users can help them become familiar with the software and its capabilities. This approach encourages users to upgrade to higher tiers as they become more experienced and require additional functionality.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"Cloud-based process run helps in not keeping the systems on while processes are running."
"Data Science Studio's data science model is very useful."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The most valuable feature is the set of visual data preparation tools."
"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."
"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 is perfectly adequate if all you need are the results and not the trail of evidence."
"I've found the descriptive statistics and cross-tabs valuable. The very simple correlations and regressions are as well."
"The software offers consistency across multiple research projects helping us with predictive analytics capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is its robust statistical analysis capabilities."
"They have many existing algorithms that we can use and use effectively to analyze and understand how to put our data to work to improve what we do."
"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."
"Since we are using the software as a statistical tool, I would say the best aspects of it are the regression and segmentation capabilities. That said, I've used it for all sorts of things."
 

Cons

"Dataiku still needs some coding, and that could be a difference where business data scientists would go for DataRobot more than Dataiku."
"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."
"I find that it is a little slow during use. It takes more time than I would expect for operations to complete."
"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."
"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."
"Server up-time needs to be improved. Also, query engines like Spark and Hive need to be more stable."
"Although known for Big Data, the processing time to process 1.8 billion records was terribly slow (five days)."
"One of the main challenges was collaboration. Developers typically use GitHub to push and manage code, but integrating GitHub with Dataiku was complicated."
"The reports could be better."
"I think the visualization and charting should be changed and made easier and more effective."
"It would be helpful if there was better documentation on how to properly use the solution. A beginner's guide on how to use the various programming functions within the product would be so useful to a lot of people. I found that everything was very confusing at first. Having clear documentation would help alleviate that."
"I feel that when it comes to conducting multiple analyses, there could be more detailed information provided. Currently, the software gives a summary and an overview, but it would be beneficial to have specific details for each product or variable."
"Most of the package will give you the fixed value, or the p-value, without an explanation as to whether it it significant or not. Some beginners might need not just the results, but also some explanation for them."
"I would like SPSS to improve its integration with other data-filing IBM tools. I also think its duration with data, utilization, and graphics could be better."
"The solution could improve by providing a visual network for predictions and a self-organizing map for clustering."
"The product should provide more ways to import data and export results that are user-friendly for high-level executives."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."
"Our licence is on a yearly renewal basis. While pricing is not the primary concern in our evaluation, as products are assessed by whether they can meet our user needs and expertise, the cost can be a limiting factor in the number of licences we procure."
"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."
"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."
"The price of this solution is a little bit high, which was a problem for my company."
"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."
"The price of IBM SPSS Statistics could improve."
