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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Dataiku is highly regarded as it is a leader in the Gartner ranking."
"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 like the interface, which is probably my favorite part of the solution. It is really user-friendly for an IT person."
"The solution is quite stable."
"I rate the overall product as eight out of ten."
"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."
"I believe the return on investment looks positive."
"The solution is very good for data mining or any mining issues."
"The solution is able to handle quite large amounts of data beautifully."
"The most valuable feature is the decision tree creation."
"I found the ease of use of the solution the most valuable. Additionally, other valuable features include: the user interface, power to extract data, compatibility with other technologies (specifically with PS400), and automation of several tasks."
"Good data management and analytics."
"I like the way the product visually shows the data pipeline."
"The setup is straightforward. Deployment doesn't take more than 30 minutes."
"The technical support is very good."
 

Cons

"Server up-time needs to be improved. Also, query engines like Spark and Hive need to be more stable."
"There is room for improvement in terms of allowing for more code-based features."
"I think it would help if Data Science Studio added some more features and improved the data model."
"One area for improvement is the need for more capabilities similar to those provided by NVIDIA for parallel machine learning training. We still encounter some integration issues."
"The license is very expensive."
"We still encounter some integration issues."
"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."
"Although known for Big Data, the processing time to process 1.8 billion records was terribly slow (five days)."
"Virtualization could be much better."
"The ease of use can be improved. When you are new it seems a bit complex."
"The solution is much more complex than other options."
"The initial setup is challenging if doing it for the first time."
"The solution needs an easier interface for the user. The user experience isn't so easy for our clients."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual."
"The product must provide better integration with cloud-native technologies."
 

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."
"The solution must improve its licensing models."
"This solution is for large corporations because not everybody can afford it."
"The solution is expensive for an individual, but for an enterprise/institution (purchasing bulk licenses), it is not a high price for the use that will come from it."
