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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 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."
"The most valuable features are the visualization and user-friendliness."
"I like the product's capabilities. The clarity and scenarios are the main features that allow us to forecast using machine learning algorithms and make decisions."
"In my opinion, it is good for analytics. Everything is in the cloud."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Analytics Cloud is its integration with SAP."
"The most valuable features are the analytical application and the user story."
"Visualization is quite seamless and awesome. Once the data messaging is set up, it's straightforward and simple to select how it should be displayed. So, that's another advantage of SAP."
"One of the most outstanding features is being able to use the dashboard with a touch screen."
"I like the connectivity the solution provides with other products."
 

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."
"Generative AI has taken pace, and I would like to see how DataRobot assists in doing generative AI and large language models."
"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."
"There are some performance issues."
"They need a better scalability rate."
"Improvements are coming quarterly whereas previously it was on a monthly basis."
"There is plenty of room for improvement. They have different products, and you need to integrate all of them to have one functionality. For example, data extraction happens in Datasphere. Then it would be best if you had some connection between the Datasphere and the SAP Analytics Cloud to get the data, as this is causing headaches sometimes. The knowledge base and Jedox also could be more meaningful. I have tried to search for some specific knowledge base and technology base, and I didn't find them. I have learned it by trial and error. There is room to improve the integrations between the different products. The AFS, and the Data action, need improvement. Sometimes they release new tools and updates, but not in my area."
"Pricing is fine for the BI license, but when it comes to client license, that fee is a bit high."
"The integration with other vendors and solutions could be improved."
"Sometimes there are speed issues with big deletion data."
"It's lacking a bit in maturity and we find we can't run our business off it until it's improved."
"Figuring out how to navigate all of the products around Data Warehouse Cloud and SAP Analytics Cloud and BW for HANA is quite difficult."
 

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."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is expensive. The price is a big issue if you compare it with other solutions from different vendors."
"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."
"It's quite expensive and costs a lot to maintain, especially with licensing."
"SAP Analytics can be very costly to license, which can make it difficult for organizations to implement."
"Its price is slightly on the higher side."
"The platform is about 50% more expensive than Power BI."
"SAP pricing tends to be premium, so it is slightly higher."
"It's not that costly as such for the time being."
