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.

Good technical support but too complex and not open-source
We're using Enterprise Guide simultaneously with Enterprise Miner. From my perspective, I believe that open-source analytics tools are closer to fitting our needs. We prefer open-source options like Anaconda. They offer good support and features. Anaconda also integrates well with Jupyter NET, which is important for us. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I'd rate the solution at a five. If there were better protocols and wasn't as complex as it is, I'd rate it a bit higher.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is quite stable."
"The most valuable feature is the set of visual data preparation tools."
"If many teams are collaborating and sharing Jupyter notebooks, it's very useful."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is one tool that can do everything, and you have the ability to very easily push your design to prediction."
"One of the valuable features of Dataiku is the workflow capability."
"I like the interface, which is probably my favorite part of the solution. It is really user-friendly for an IT person."
"I believe the return on investment looks positive."
"The most valuable feature is the decision tree creation."
"The solution is very good for data mining or any mining issues."
"The setup is straightforward. Deployment doesn't take more than 30 minutes."
"The solution is able to handle quite large amounts of data beautifully."
"The technical support is very good."
"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."
"Most of the features, especially on the data analysis tool pack, are really good. The way they do clustering and output is great. You can do fairly elaborate outputs. The results, the ensembles, all of these, are fantastic."
 

Cons

"The license is very expensive."
"The license is very expensive. It would be great to have an intermediate license for basic treatments that do not require extensive experience."
"One of the main challenges was collaboration. Developers typically use GitHub to push and manage code, but integrating GitHub with Dataiku was complicated."
"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."
"Although known for Big Data, the processing time to process 1.8 billion records was terribly slow (five days)."
"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."
"Server up-time needs to be improved. Also, query engines like Spark and Hive need to be more stable."
"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."
"The visualization of the models is not very attractive, so the graphics should be improved."
"The solution needs an easier interface for the user. The user experience isn't so easy for our clients."
"While I don't personally need tutorials, I can't say that it wouldn't be helpful for others to have some to help them navigate and operate the system."
"The user interface of the solution needs improvement. It needs to be more visual."
"The solution is very stable, but we do have some problems with discrepancies involving SAS not matching with the latest Java versions. It's not stable in cases where SAS tries to run on a different version because SAS doesn't connect with the latest Java update. Once a month we need to restart systems from scratch."
"The initial setup is challenging if doing it for the first time."
"The solution is much more complex than other options."
"Virtualization could be much better."
 

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."
"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."
"The solution must improve its licensing models."
