Raviteja Guna - PeerSpot reviewer
Highly automated solution allowing data scientists to build models easily
Based on your similar requirements, V10.0 has very cool features related to AI Generation. I would suggest the team, too. This is very good for data scientists or people who don't want to code. Even the documentation is well-maintained in terms of its capabilities. It's easy to navigate. The support documents are good. Even someone with basic IT knowledge can easily navigate. If you're an IT engineer, you can efficiently perform operations using it. We have deployed eight to nine use cases on DataRobot and have seen a tremendous response in accuracy and performance. We are pleased because we conducted a comparison. We took a model we built using a sample Python on a local machine and applied the same data and process using DataRobot Autopilot. The results were pretty amazing, with promising accuracy and recall. The accessibility is so easy. Even a college graduate with essential experience can use it. Suppose I do the same model in Databricks and want to monitor my MLOps pipeline. So, I need to use a third-party framework again, like MLflow, Kubeflow, Airflow, or whatever. I need to build my dashboards and everything, customization dashboards. However, everything is available in DataRobot. I can use it directly. They have a new option called DataRobot apps. So, on the predictions, we can even create customized apps. I can build my dashboard, and I can develop my applications. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

A no-code tool that helps to build machine learning models
One challenge I encountered while implementing RapidMiner was the lack of documentation. Since there aren't as many users, finding resources to learn the tool was initially difficult. To overcome this hurdle, I believe RapidMiner could improve by providing more tutorials tailored for new users. I haven't explored the tool's latest version, so I'm unaware of the current features. However, I think it would be beneficial if they could enhance capabilities related to deep neural networks, provide better support for generating UI, and allow for importing and utilizing large language models.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We especially like the initial part of feature engineering, because feature engineering is included in most engines, but DataRobot has an excellent way of picking up the right features."
"DataRobot is highly automated, allowing data scientists to build models easily."
"DataRobot can be easy to use."
"It's easy to do MLOps operations. It's a lot easier to manage jobs and see the logs if there's any drift in a model."
"We value the collaboration and governance features because it's a comprehensive platform that covers everything from data extraction to modeling operations in the ML language. RapidMiner is competitive in the ML space."
"The data science, collaboration, and IDN are very, very strong."
"I like not having to write all solutions from code. Being able to drag and drop controls, enables me to focus on building the best model, without needing to search for syntax errors or extra libraries."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of RapidMiner is that it is code free. It is similar to playing with Lego pieces and executing after you are finished to see the results. Additionally, it is easy to use and has interesting utilities when preparing the data. It has a utility to automatically launch a series of models and show the comparisons. When finished with the comparisons you can select the best one, and deploy it automatically."
"Scalability is not really a concern with RapidMiner. It scales very well and can be used in global implementations."
"RapidMiner is a no-code machine learning tool. I can install it on my local machine and work with smaller datasets. It can also connect to databases, allowing me to build models directly on the data stored there. RapidMiner offers a wider range of operators than other tools like Dataiku, making it a better option for my needs."
"RapidMiner for Windows is an excellent graphical tool for data science."
 

Cons

"The business departments will love to work with DataRobot because they use the tool to investigate their data, such as targeting what they want to investigate. They don't need any data scientists near them. They can investigate at eye level and bring into the BI tool, or can bring it to the data scientist. Data scientists can use this tool to bring increase the solution to the maximum. All the others can use it, but not to the maximum."
"If we could include our existing Python or R code in DataRobot, we could make it even better. The DataRobot that we have is specific to an industry, but most of the time we would have our own algorithms, which are specific to our own use case. If we had a way by which we could integrate our proprietary things into DataRobot with a simple integration, it would help us a lot."
"Generative AI has taken pace, and I would like to see how DataRobot assists in doing generative AI and large language models."
"There are some performance issues."
"The visual interface could use something like the-drag-and-drop features which other products already support. Some additional features can make RapidMiner a better tool and maybe more competitive."
"In terms of the UI and SaaS, the user interface with KNIME is more appealing than RapidMiner."
"RapidMiner can improve deep learning by enhancing the features."
"A great product but confusing in some way with regard to the user interface and integration with other tools."
"Improve the online data services."
"The server product has been getting updated and continues to be better each release. When I started using RapidMiner, it was solid but not easy to set up and upgrade."
"RapidMiner isn't cheap. It's a complete solution, but it's costly."
"RapidMiner would be improved with the inclusion of more machine learning algorithms for generating time-series forecasting models."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We dropped the plan to use DataRobot, because we found the pricing to be on the higher sise. We liked DataRobot a lot, but due to the pricing, we dropped that idea."
"The price of DataRobot is good because if you take the price of the solution which is approximately $65,000, it is less than a data scientist. There are very few data scientists available."
"I'm not fully aware of RapidMiner's price because we had licenses provided, but from my analysis, it's moderately priced, not too high or too low. It's worth the investment."
"I used an educational license for this solution, which is available free of charge."
"The client only has to pay the licensing costs. There are not any maintenance or hidden costs in addition to the license."
"For the university, the cost of the solution is free for the students and teachers."
"Although we don't pay licensing fees because it is being used within the university, my understanding is that the cost is between $5,000 and $10,000 USD per year."
