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.

Good forecasting, reporting, and data integrity, but it needs to be more user-friendly
The dashboard could be made easier to use. I think that SAS BA represents an evolution of the product in this regard. I think that this solution should be more compatible with other software, including open-source solutions. If SAS were more flexible in terms of licensing then that would be good, because it costs more than other solutions. I would like to see more flexibility in the interface so that a person at the managerial level can also make use of it in a basic way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"DataRobot is highly automated, allowing data scientists to build models easily."
"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."
"The most valuable features are forecasting and reporting."
"The most valuable feature is its flexibility and the ability to integrate with SAS."
 

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."
"Technical support could be improved because they take too long to answer our queries."
"I think that this solution should be more compatible with other software, including open-source solutions."
 

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."
"If SAS were more flexible in terms of licensing then that would be good, because it costs more than other solutions."
