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.

Streamlined workflows with drag and drop convenience but needs enhancements in AI
I use Machine Learning Studio for system reselling and integration Machine Learning Studio is easy to use, with a significant feature being the drag and drop interface that enhances workflow without any complaints. It provides a return on investment and cost savings, proving beneficial for…

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 believe the return on investment looks positive."
"Data Science Studio's data science model is very useful."
"The solution is quite stable."
"Traceability is vital since I manage many cohorts, and collaboration is key as I have multiple engineers substituting for one another."
"I like the interface, which is probably my favorite part of the solution. It is really user-friendly for an IT person."
"I rate the overall product as eight out of ten."
"If many teams are collaborating and sharing Jupyter notebooks, it's very useful."
"The initial setup is very simple and straightforward."
"Their web interface is good."
"Split dataset, variety of algorithms, visualizing the data, and drag and drop capability are the features I appreciate most."
"One of the notable advantages is that it offers both a visual designer, which is user-friendly, and an advanced coding option."
"It's good for citizen data scientists, but also, other people can use Python or .NET code."
"I like that it's totally easy to use. They have an AutoML solution, and their machine learning model is highly accurate. They also have a feature that can explain the machine learning model. This makes it easy for me to understand that model."
"Overall, I rate Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio a seven out of ten."
"I like being able to compare results across different training runs. The hyperparameter tuning function is a valuable feature because it provides the ability to run multiple experiments at the same time and compare results."
 

Cons

"The ability to have charts right from the explorer would be an improvement."
"Dataiku still needs some coding, and that could be a difference where business data scientists would go for DataRobot more than Dataiku."
"The license is very expensive. It would be great to have an intermediate license for basic treatments that do not require extensive experience."
"The license is very expensive."
"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."
"One of the main challenges was collaboration. Developers typically use GitHub to push and manage code, but integrating GitHub with Dataiku was complicated."
"We still encounter some integration issues."
"This solution could be improved if they could integrate the data pipeline scheduling part for their interface."
"The platform's integration feature could be better."
"I personally would prefer if data could be tunneled to my model through a SAP ERP system, and have features of Excel, such as Pivot Tables, integrated."
"I have found Databricks is a better solution because it has a lot of different cluster choices and better integration with MLflow, which is much easier to handle in a machine learning system."
"I think they should improve two things. They should make their user interface more user-friendly. Integration could also be better. Because Microsoft Machine Learning is a Microsoft product, it's fully integrated with Microsoft Azure but not fully supported for other platforms like IBM or AWS or something else."
"​It could use to add some more features in data transformation, time series and the text analytics section."
"In the future, I would like to see more AI consultation like image and video classification, and improvement in the presentation of data."
"When you use different Microsoft tools, there are different pricing metrics. It doesn't make sense. The pricing metrics are quire difficult to understand and should be either clarified or simplified. It would help us sell the solution to customers."
 

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 licensing cost is very cheap. It's less than $50 a month."
"The solution operates on a pay-per-use model."
"When we got our first models and were ready for the user acceptance testing, our licensing fees were between €2,500 ($2,750 USD) and €3,000 ($3,300 USD) monthly."
"It is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"The pricing for Microsoft products can be complex due to changes and being cloud-based, so it's not straightforward. I've been familiar with it for years, but sometimes details about product licenses and distribution can be unclear. For Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio specifically, I would rate the price a six out of ten."
"I rate the solution's pricing a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The product is not that expensive."
"The product's pricing is reasonable."
