Which solution do you prefer: SAS Viya or Dataiku Data Science Studio?

Dataiku is my choice as it's not bulky and the learning path for people like me (noobs in ML and data science) is not steep at all, so after a couple of pieces of training I feel very confident. Also, you can check it out for free, it has the sandbox free of charge. For the guys who are tech-aware, it provides a wide variety of tools as well as flexible customization (via code notebooks, preset connectors, etc). The pricing bites but the charge depends on the scale of your needs, so you have a choice there. As for SAS - I personally didn't use it but read many reviews stating that it's kinda clumsy and not intuitive to use vs many other solutions, though I might be wrong.

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.

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.

A great solution for big organizations, complex business requirements, and highly sophisticated and specialized statistics

There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else. For instance the system does not come with a pre-defined accounting, budgeting or planning model for a particular industry. Some competitors come with such a model (e.g. for retail companies) which makes the implementation of course easier if the customer can comproise with this predefined model. SAS does not provide such models but does not demand customers to comply with a foreign business model.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It offers very good visualization."

"It is a modeling tool with helpful automation."

"The solution has numerous valuable features. We particularly like custom tabs. It's very useful. We end up analyzing a lot of software data, so features related to custom tabs are really helpful."

"in terms of the simplicity, I think the SPSS basic can handle it."

"In terms of the features I've found most valuable, I'd say the duration, the correlation, and of course the nonparametric statistics. I use it for reliability and survival analysis, time series, regression models in different solutions, and different types of solutions."

"The most valuable features mainly include factor analysis, correlation analysis, and geographic analysis."

"The most valuable feature is its robust statistical analysis capabilities."

"The most valuable feature is the user interface because you don't need to write code."

More IBM SPSS Statistics pros

"The most valuable feature is the set of visual data preparation tools."

"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."

"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."

"If many teams are collaborating and sharing Jupyter notebooks, it's very useful."

"Data Science Studio's data science model is very useful."

"Cloud-based process run helps in not keeping the systems on while processes are running."

"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."

More Dataiku pros

"The most solution's notable aspect, in my view, is the ability to integrate various data sources and harness advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. This helps with quality assurance processes."

"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."

"The visualization capabilities and the email functionality are most beneficial."

"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."

"Visual Analytics is very easy to use. I use Visual Analytics for all the typical use cases except text mining. I used it to analyze data and monitor statistics, not text mining. I also use it for data visualization as well as creating interactive dashboards and infographics."

"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."

"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."

"Simplifies report designs and quickly displays tables and graphs."

More SAS Visual Analytics pros

Cons

"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."

"In some cases, the product takes time to load a large dataset. They could improve this particular area."

"I know that SPSS is a statistical tool but it should also include a little bit of analytical behavior. You can call it augmented analysis or predictive analysis. The bottom line is it should have more graphical and analytical capabilities."

"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 statistics should be more self-explanatory with detailed automated reports."

"SPSS slows down the computer or the laptop if the data is huge; then you need a faster computer."

"The solution needs to improve forecasting using time series analysis."

"One of the areas that should be similar to Minitabs is the use of blogs. The Minitabs blog helps users understand the tools and gives lots of practical examples. Following the SPSS manual is cumbersome. It's a good, exhaustive manual, but it's not practical to use. With Minitabs, you can go to the blogs and find specific articles written about various components and it's very helpful. Without blogs, we find SPSS more complicated."

More IBM SPSS Statistics cons

"I think it would help if Data Science Studio added some more features and improved the data model."

"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."

"I find that it is a little slow during use. It takes more time than I would expect for operations to complete."

"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."

"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."

"Dataiku still needs some coding, and that could be a difference where business data scientists would go for DataRobot more than Dataiku."

More Dataiku cons

"The installation process can be a bit complex."

"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."

"The integration aspects of the solution could be improved."

"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."

"The visualization should be better in SAS Visual Analytics. It is easy to use but when compared to other solutions it is lacking and the support is not very good."

"The solution should improve its graphics."

"Colours used on report objects"

"There are certain shortcomings in the tool's support services, making it an area where improvements are required."

More SAS Visual Analytics cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the modeler is high and can reduce the utility of the product for those who can not afford to adopt it."

"More affordable training for new staff members."

"While the pricing of the product may be higher, the accompanying service and features justify the investment."

"If it requires lot of data processing, maybe switching to IBM SPSS Clementine would be better for the buyer."

"We think that IBM SPSS is expensive for this function."

"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."

"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."

"It's quite expensive, but they do a special deal for universities."

More IBM SPSS Statistics 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."

"It's approximately $114,000 US dollars per year."

"It was licensed for corporate use, and its licensing was on a yearly basis."

"$10,000 per annum for an enterprise license."

"The product is quite expensive."

"SAS Visual Analytics is expensive, as is the rest of the platform."

"The product is expensive."

"The cost of the solution can be expensive. There is an additional cost for users."

"Visual Analytics is expensive for a small company like mine. You also need to deploy it on a server or cloud, so you pay for the license as well as the cost of the cloud or the server that you will deploy on."
