Dataiku DSS vs SAP Analytics Cloud

Likelihood to Recommend

I would recommend it because it's an amazing tool for different levels of users. From Business Analysts to Data Scientists to Managers, various employees can make use of this tool to make data-driven decisions. I'm not sure about where it would be less appropriate as I'm using it as Data Scientist and so far it pretty much caters to my need.

This is one of the SAP cloud-based software products that Business Intelligence has a very fast and easy operation of. It does not require database knowledge and data analysis science to use it. It is very agile and smart, and can handle any size or data scales, and will provide you with smart results. Great for organizational planning and big data analytics and business forecasting.

Cons

The visualization feature of flow still has a lot room to improve, when the flow is complex.
The "non-coding" template/building block for deep learning lack of many important configurable parameters.
Lack of the unified way to allow applying the "design pattern" on the Python codes (if we want to develop our own module or building blocks.

While SAP Analytics Cloud is ideal for providing insights into an SAP system, it is a little less ideal for third party systems as this generally requires customizations. However, it still supports such scenarios and with a little extra work it does the job very well.
SAP Analytics Cloud is a separate license from other SAP systems, meaning added cost.

The open source user community is friendly, helpful, and responsive, at times even outdoing commercial software vendors. Documentation is also top notch, and usually resolves issues without the need for human interactions.

Alternatives Considered

Anaconda is mainly used by professional data scientists who have profound knowledge of Python coding, mainly used for building some new algorithm block or some optimization, then the module will be integrated into the Dataiku pipeline/workflow. While Dataiku can be used by even other kinds of users.

Return on Investment

So far it has had a positive impact. Multiple departments are coming to us with their business problems.
I can't specifically say about ROI as I'm a developer, though I have heard this solution is economical compared to other AI/ML enterprise tools.
By using this tool, my client has let go of software that was used earlier, and we have created a simpler framework to replace that software.

Multiple SAP sources can be connected into one software.
No lag time with data or analytics. Crucial for our real estate market which is always changing.
The only negative ROI would be the training and steep learning curve we had to invest in this.
