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 for creating POCs, training machine learning models, and experimenting without local resources
The project I’m currently working on relies on CUDA, but my local PC does not have any Nvidia GPUs. I’ve found the computational resources and ease of use provided by Saturn Cloud invaluable. Also, there are many ready-to-use Docker images and a rich documentation portal with useful examples. The dashboard for creating a new virtual environment contains almost all the features I needed: environment variable definitions, git repositories cloning directly from the new resources page, and an edit field to define a custom script during the boot process. For this reason, Saturn Cloud.io is a very good solution for creating POCs, training machine learning models, and generally experimenting a bit without worrying about local resources.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Data Science Studio's data science model is 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."
"I believe the return on investment looks positive."
"Cloud-based process run helps in not keeping the systems on while processes are running."
"Dataiku is highly regarded as it is a leader in the Gartner ranking."
"Our clients can easily drag and drop components and use them on the spot."
"Traceability is vital since I manage many cohorts, and collaboration is key as I have multiple engineers substituting for one another."
"I rate the overall product as eight out of ten."
"The feature I like the most about Saturn Cloud is that it has lightning-fast CPUs."
"It didn't take long to see that Saturn Cloud could scale with my needs, providing more resources when required."
"It offered an excellent development environment while not touching our production cloud resources."
"They provide a centralized space for data, code, and results."
"Saturn Cloud supports GPU as part of the environment, which is essential for many computational tasks in machine learning projects. It also allows us to edit the environment, including the image, before we start the cloud resources. This feature lets us quickly set up the environment without the hassle of moving the data and code to another cloud device."
"There is plenty of computational resources (both GPU, CPU and disk space)."
 

Cons

"The technical support from Dataiku is not good. The support team does not provide adequate assistance, and there are concerns about billing requests."
"Although known for Big Data, the processing time to process 1.8 billion records was terribly slow (five days)."
"Server up-time needs to be improved. Also, query engines like Spark and Hive need to be more stable."
"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 think it would help if Data Science Studio added some more features and improved the data model."
"There is room for improvement in terms of allowing for more code-based features."
"The license is very expensive. It would be great to have an intermediate license for basic treatments that do not require extensive experience."
"We still encounter some integration issues."
"My main suggestion for improvement centers on pricing. Introducing a tier modelled after AWS spot instances would be a game-changer."
"Public Clouds integration and sandbox environments would be a true game changer."
"We'd like to have the capability for installing more libraries."
"Providing more detailed and beginner-friendly documentation, especially for advanced features, could greatly enhance the user experience."
"It would be nice to have more hardware category options, like TPU coprocessors or ARM64 CPUs."
"Saturn Cloud should include prebuilt images for advanced data science packages like LightGBM in the next release. If possible, they should also provide a Kaggle image, which contains the most common Python packages used in machine learning."
 

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."
