Easy to setup, stable and easy to design data pipelines

The scalability is average. We have not faced any issues with scalability. There are more than 500 end users using this solution in our company. It is an integral part of the daily operations. The usage pattern is not a one-time thing; employees regularly access and utilize the application. We use it at a global level with a scattered user base. This means that users don't all use the application at the same time. So, around 300 out of 500 employees use the solution, and this usage is spread out throughout the day.

Enables us to forecast and pull trends and has an easy installation

My rating for SAP Predictive Analytics would be an eight out of ten. If I have to be bold, I'll probably say that we're building away hours, and we are actually putting a lot of the actual predicting stuff back into the warehouse. So running it very bi-directionally. So I'm not sure what its integration features are at the moment, but that's an area we're going to look into in the next month or so.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The infrastructure is highly reliable and efficient, contributing to a positive experience."

"For me, it has been a stable product."

"Google Cloud Datalab is very customizable."

"In MLOps, when we are designing the data pipeline, the designing of the data pipeline is easy in Google Cloud."

"All of the features of this product are quite good."

"The APIs are valuable."

"I think the features of the actual ability to forecast and pull trends and correlations has been really good."

"The most valuable features are the analytics and reporting."

Cons

"The interface should be more user-friendly."

"The product must be made more user-friendly."

"There is room for improvement in the graphical user interface. So that the initial user would use it properly, that would be a good option."

"We have also encountered challenges during our transition period in terms of data control and segmentation. The management of each channel and data structure as it has its own unique characteristics requires very detailed and precise control. The allocation should be appropriate and the complexity increases due to the different time zones and geographic locations of our clients. The process usually involves migrating the existing database sets to gcp and ensure data integrity is maintained. This is the only challenge that we faced while navigating the integers of the solution and honestly it was an interesting and unique experience."

"Even if your application is always connected to its database, the processing can be cumbersome. It shouldn't be so complicated."

"Connectivity challenges for end-users, particularly when loading data, environments, and libraries, need to be addressed for an enhanced user experience."

"This solution works for acquired data but not live, real-time data."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is quite reasonable, and I would give it a rating of four out of ten."

"It is affordable for us because we have a limited number of users."

"The product is cheap."

"A free trial version is available for testing out this solution."

"The pricing is reasonable"
