Dataiku DSS vs SAS Data Management Platform

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.

SAS Data Management Platform is very well suited if you have common data sources like Oracle, SAP, MS SQL, etc.. Still, if there are a bit more obscure, then you need to purchase additional connectors to connect to those data sources. It is well suited when you don't have a business team with strong technical/coding background as the drag and drop interface makes creating jobs and scheduling them quite easy.

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.

Based on 3 answers

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. Great product design, with a focus on user experience, also makes platform use intuitive, thus reducing the need for explicit support.

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.

SAS Data Management Platform requires third-party drivers to connect to common data sources like SFDC, MS SQL, Postgres. Has almost all features present as compared to the alternatives we evaluated. On top of it, SAS offered statistical transformations and strong metadata management. SAS Data Management Platform was also the most cost-effective solution despite having to purchase a couple of connectors for SAP and Salesforce. The easy of applying security templates was also a feature that can be easily used as compared to others mentioned.

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.
