Dataiku vs. Gavagai

Dataiku is an awesome tool for data scientists. It really makes our lives easier. It is also really good for non technical users to see and follow along with the process. I do think that people can fall into the trap of using it without any knowledge at all because so much is automated, but I dont think that is the fault of Dataiku.

Gavagai is well suited for a B2C business that receives a lot of customer feedback in a form of open-ended text. It makes life easier for the customer experience team to efficiently identify the strengths and areas of improvement for the business. It saves a lot of time and also the hassle of analysing text data manually. It is not just a word cloud tool that shows you the words with the most number of mentions. Gavagai directs you towards actionability.

• When dealing with multiple data flows, it becomes really confusing, though they have introduced a feature (Zones) to cater to this issue.
• Bundling, exporting, and importing projects sometimes create issues related to code environment. If the code environment is not available, at least the schema of the flow we should be able to import should be.

The user experience is very good. Everything feels intuitive and "flows" (sorry excuse the pun) so nicely, and the customization level is also appropriate to the tool. Even as a newer data scientist, it felt easy to use and the explanations/tutorials were very good. The documentation is also at a good level

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.

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.

I didn't evaluate many options while choosing Gavagai, I had explored a few local vendors whose capabilities were either incomplete or were not up to the mark. Their customer support was also quite poor. Also, the tool was debugged enough which led to frequent crashing. Alchmer although is not a direct competitor to Gavagai, since it's more of a customer feedback tool with additional capabilities of text analytics. I found Alchemer to be extremely expensive. Zonka on the other hand was quite welcoming to feedback from me and promised to develop additional capabilities for my specific requirements although the plan didn't go through due to internal reasons.
